[1] claims that Quake 4 uses the same alphabet for the Strogg, is that really true?


[1] appears to be one of the web sites generated by either GPT-3 or something like it. Don't trust anything it says.

Doing a web search specifically for "standard galactic alphabet quake 4" doesn't appear to produce any interesting results, so I think it's false.

Get a good read on [1]. Learning how to identify those web sites is rapidly becoming an important skill. Today you're just learning something a bit wrong about Quake 4 because the transformer model thought that sounded plausible, tomorrow it could be something much more dangerously wrong.


Hmm first time I gave this any thought, I knew about minecraft (the spell book) and looked for a source to back it up. I should be more careful.


To be clear, I don't intend this as sharp criticism against you. These sites are next-level in fooling people and I don't expect anyone to have strong defenses against them yet. This is more a public service announcement.

Good luck to us all.


that's what I was thinking too. if it's not GPT it's at least a regular ol' content farm


Could be. Would love to see some references; There's possibly a link to other Id Games.

Why? Commander Keen is spiritually connected to both Wolf and Doom. Read this: https://wolfenstein.fandom.com/wiki/William_J._Blazkowicz_(d...
