Ask a Game Dev Saw someone on social media that more or less said that a professional needs to be able to translate short comments that sound derogatory like into criticism and create workable solutions from that......

Do devs need to be able to translate player feedback like "this thing sucks" into actionable feedback? (Spoiler: Only if we choose to deal directly with the public. We have community teams to handle it for us)

That’s just artslop. You only like this thing because the artist stirred something deep within your soul that you don’t quite know how to articulate just yet. Lol

I'm just saying it seems neither fast enough nor reliable enough for the task at hand, plus it needs an awful lot of cajoling to exhibit anything resembling human reasoning

So... you didn't write the prompt, you wrote this other prompt instead. The machine used the second prompt to build the first prompt. The first prompt seems to work pretty well (not perfect) on one specific document.

This entire process from start to finish took how long, exactly?

Back when the Final Fantasy movies were being made, I remember articles claiming the CGI "actors" would be "hired" out to appear in other movies. I guess we're seeing the modern version of that silliness.

Part of growing up is realizing that not everyone who says stuff you like hearing is smart.

I think bluesky would be roughly 300% better if people here were capable of reading β€œthis is an assessment of the empirical reality of a situation” without assuming it comes with an implicit β€œand therefore I endorse the reality of that situation”

everyone loved the tech industry's free music and friendship machines of 20-30 years ago. it's unclear what could be causing people to feel the opposite about the industry's new racism and insanity machine

Two panel comic. Panel 1: a museum display of a megalodon jaw fossil, with some museum goers standing around it. There is a graphic on the information tablet next to the fossil, depicting the approximation of the megalodon’s full size compared to a human. Panel 2: β€œ3.6 million years ago:” we see the true megalodon as it existed, a small shark with ludicrously large, juicy lips.

If an AI gets deployed on the battlefield, it won't be long before some terrible friendly fire incident or malfunction occurs, whereupon Trump will blame the AI company and call for the CEO's head. You can see why they might want to nip this in the bud early.

seems obvs to me that mamdani gets far because of his charm. why do "male self improvement" types always focus on things like looksmaxxing instead of personalitymaxxing or charmmaxxing?
