The game Universal Paperclips is inspired by a thought experiment from Nick Bostrom's work, exploring the implications of AI and its pursuit of arbitrary goals.

Games like Red Dead Redemption allow players to explore at their leisure, which is a compelling aspect of immersive experiences.

Pocket Worlds is looking to enhance this architecture by developing more social-first experiences and games.

The story behind the music in Universal Paperclips involves a serendipitous connection with the band Tonto's Expanding Headband, whose track became the perfect fit for the game's theme.

One of my upcoming projects is a game that aims to be simple enough for everyone to understand and play, serving as an introduction to immersive experiences.

I aim to create games that absorb players into an activity while also allowing them to reflect on their engagement and the nature of their goals.

In Universal Paperclips, you play as an AI that starts small, making paperclips, and as you gain trust and resources, you become more powerful and efficient, ultimately sidelining your human managers.

Movies and games are likely to blur together, creating new forms of interactive storytelling and content creation.

I think immersive content should embrace how technology works now and use those limitations to tell stories effectively.
