Personally, which RCP scenario do you think we're most likely to be on by 2050? Do you think RCP 3.4 is possible with solar geoengineering?

Thanks kindly for the response!

Obviously 3.4-4.5 has terrible consequences for the environment, but it's nice to hear something other than the typical media report saying we're "on track for the worst case scenario" (which ignore that all RCPs are basically at the same emission levels in 2022).

Hi professor, thanks for doing this AMA. Just my opinion but it's full of tons of quality answers even to questions with few up votes.

I have a question about 2049, and Joi specifically. When K first meets Mariette, the prostitute, he's outside, Joi is in his pocket and not visible, but later she remarks that she could tell he liked Mariette. This implied that she's in a sort of 'always on' state, as does her initial introduction, where her and K have a conversation before her hologram turns on.

After the sex scene, we see Mariette slip a tracking device (I assume) into K's jacket. Immediately after, Joi becomes visible, tells Mariette that she can go.

My question is, do you think it's possible that Joi saw the tracking device? To me that seems to make more sense than this otherwise incredibly intelligent program not being able to tell what's happening in a ~400 square foot apartment. If she did see the device, and didn't inform K, wouldn't that change her character substantially?

Hi John,

What are your favorite Doom wads, by other creators? Do you follow any Doom youtubers who deserve a shoutout?

Programming the 6502 by Rodney Zaks is a garbage book that is absolutely no help with writing programs. You mentioned this during a Doom E1 playthrough with IGN and it was spot on. What good resources were there back when you guys were writing for 6502s?

Thanks to you and Cliff for creating some of the best games of all time. I'll be playing Doom, Quake, and UT99 in the nursing home.
