Gist of Github Copilot in work related context is: "Ok if it makes you more productive". Not if it makes me happier. More chilled. Reduces my workload. And that's the problem.
Profit motive colliding with what's coming is the biggest threat of all.

Haha! Nice xkcd alt text for https://xkcd.com/2707/

@freemo Well, I guess it is not as easy as to make this a victims only problem. The call - for genocide as an example - is also out there. And granting it reaching more audience is also a problem.

Consider manipulative disinformation. Here, how much audience it reaches becomes even more of a problem.

I see both sides and framing this as taking away victims rights might be an oversimplifying approach to a more complex issue.

@gpowerf I just now read in the roblox wiki that as of January 2022 it is supported via Wine in Linux as well.

@gpowerf Yeah, I already wanted to take a look at it, but at the time it didn't support Linux so this was only a short lived research for me :)

But I also heard that it is super flexible, so go for it! :)

I think the key ingredient is that you have a good plan regarding your setting and what you want to achieve with it. Prepare a space facilitates what you want to achieve. Like mentioned creative space for a reflection session or smth. alike.

Since you said that this is a remote work environment I think anything like this already constitutes value for the team.

@gpowerf @aschaffar transferred a group dynamics setting called "organisational laboratory" into Minecraft during the pandemics. I did the tech behind it. Everything worked out nicely with >80 participants.

So yes, I think with the right design, it is possible to facilitate a lot, like teambuilding in a remote setting for starters.

With the right dose of required reflection on what's happening I think it is quickly clear to most, that this is about more than just being a fun activity. But then again, there are those teams that don't even get why a retreat makes sense. So one never knows I guess ;)

When well established, then as a recurrent thing I think such that it could be most suited for retrospectives and the like. Times of reflection. Because why not express my feelings about the last sprint this in an artsy way by building a sculpture for example?

Plannings and estimations require more sticky note like things like Miro I guess. But then again, I'd probably be surprised with what people can come up there as well :)

@aschaffar Sooooo sweet! ❤️
