Shortly after this book came out, my wife and I read it together and a few months later, formed a studio to make a game together. She's the writer. I'm the creative director. Launch is still a year away, but it's been a wonderful, new part of our relationship.
Unusual that an interview captures such a nuanced take, but I appreciate both Ward's pragmatism and his sadness around the death of human-created art. Grateful for the submission.
Deeply curious to know if this is an outlier opinion, a mainstream but pessimistic one, or the general consensus. My LinkedIn feed and personal network certainly suggests that it's an outlier, but I wonder if the people around me are overly optimistic or out of synch with what the HN community is experiencing more broadly.
