Oh it is connected to the originals, Durandal is straight up talking to players. And he is voiced by Ben Starr

"The Director/Leonard Church and Bernard Strauss would probably get along even better. Get together every couple weeks for brunch to chat and swap notes on how to best torture the Mouthy A.I under there control"

With NUMarathon out it's interesting that newer Bungie fans and others might learn that the closest anyone has come to OG #Marathon depiction of AI isn't actually Halo, Destiny or anything else made by Bungie. No, its closest counterpart is actually Red vs Blue

Durandal and Church would be friends

Happy #Zelda40th! Animating goofy #zelink stuff is how I got my start as an animator. Nothing special, but I learned a lot, here's to 40 more.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Exactly 10 years ago today #rwby volume 3 ended. And everything changed forever.

Tell me, even after all this time, do you still believe in destiny?

"Hereโ€™s an example that Googleโ€™s Josh Woodward, VP of the Gemini app, Google Labs, and AI Studio, shared in a blog post about how Personal Intelligence can work. Google also put together a similar example in a video that Iโ€™ve embedded below:

For example, we needed new tires for our 2019 Honda minivan two weeks ago. Standing in line at the shop, I realized I didnโ€™t know the tire size. I asked Gemini. These days any chatbot can find these tire specs, but Gemini went further. It suggested different options: one for daily driving and another for all-weather conditions, referencing our family road trips to Oklahoma found in Google Photos. It then neatly pulled ratings and prices for each. As I got to the counter, I needed our license plate. Instead of searching for it or losing my spot in line to walk back to the parking lot, I asked Gemini. It pulled the seven-digit number from a picture in Photos and also helped me identify the vanโ€™s specific trim by searching Gmail. Just like that, we were set."

Every example of ai being useful begins with "okay imagine you're in a situation, and you are very dumb"

If Square and Disney were serious about KH4 being great they would include NYC as a world straight up. The canonical home of of Square's Parasite Eve AND Disney's Gargoyles? AYA BREA AND ELISA MAZA COULD BE COP PARTNERS, literally a perfect set up, to good for words

there needs to be a sex offender registry but for ice guys. you should have to go door to door when you move to a new area and inform your neighbors that you used to be an ice guy. they shouldn't be allowed with 500 feet of a school

#rwby fans, with Volume 10 still a ways off you suffering rwby withdrawal? Well the fantastic Mark Zhang, creator of the SLVR fan animations dropped another banger and it helps fill the hole.

To the influx of artists and people about to join in from another stupid move by shitty bird app, actually use this place. Genuinely, if you just make an account and leave, then there's no point. Try to post here whenever you can.

Self-published authors are unfortunately very rapidly becoming my most-blocked demographic on here due entirely to the rampant use of hideous AI generated book covers

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we canโ€™t do things weโ€™ve been doing since the dawn of time.

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder โ€œThe โ€˜early ideation stagesโ€™, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a gameโ€™s vision,โ€ said one artist.

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.

Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

consider my feedback: i loved working at @larianstudios.com until AI. reconsider and change your direction, like, yesterday. show your employees some respect. they are world-class & do not need AI assistance to come up with amazing ideas.
