@tiotasram@kolektiva.socialAnyone know of good articles on solipsism in games, especially with regards to game engine design and level design? Feels so obvious someone must have written on this before but Google scholar is not coming up with a lot.

@tomkalei@machteburch.socialGoogle Scholar "Labs": Scholar is now an LLM frontend. ☹️ #enshittification
@tomkalei@machteburch.socialOK, but the results are still just paper links, not what the LLM thinks about them. So the only thing that changed is that it is much much slower now?
Maybe the LLM just formulates a query to the old scholar? Too many layers of "oh how can we build an LLM into this"...
OK, nobody in #math uses Google Scholar like this anyway. We only use it look at publication records of people and do reverse citation search (which papers cite this one I have).
