Static Sky: And Yet It █████
██落在夜空生成以前
Rhett Tsai, Justin Bortnick
Experimental video game, Forthcoming (Expected 2024)

Static Sky: And Yet It █████ is an experimental video game based on the fear of and resistance to artificial intelligence. It imagines a future ruled by AI world models, where everything is generated by AI, reality is redefined, hometowns are reshaped, and symbols are reoriented.

In this future, the protagonist wears a RV (Real Virtuality) headset that claim to show "reality" within the "virtual." The seemingly real traces revealed by the RV glasses (such as unfinished noise and uncolored white objects) trigger his mental breakdown and fear of reality.

By depicting this collapse and the disintegration of meaning caused by reality, Static Sky: And Yet It █████ presents a possible future of extreme artificial intelligence. The protagonist's mental symptoms are a hypothesis about the broader human cognition of the future.

《██落在夜空生成以前》是一件实验性的电子游戏,它基于对人工智能的恐慌与抵抗力量,想象了一个被人工智能世界模型统治的未来,世界的一切都由人工智能生成,真实被重新定义、家乡被重新塑造、符号被重新指向。

在这一未来中,主角头戴一款宣称能够在「虚拟」中看到「真实」的现实虚拟(RV)眼镜,RV眼镜显现出的看似真实的痕迹(如生成未完的噪点和未被上色的白色物体)引发了他的精神崩溃和对真实的恐惧。

通过描述这场因真实而起的崩溃与意义瓦解,《██落在夜空生成以前》呈现了一个关于极端性人工智能的可能未来,主角所展现的精神症候则是对未来更广泛的人类认知的假设。
