The PS3 store revision was actually the worst thing that anyone at Sony has ever done IMO. Who thought that searching with a vertical scrolling alphabet was a good idea, much less how it became about 5x slower.
I gotta hand it to Altman here, deciding to sign up to be the new face of the regime’s AI efforts right as they start an unpopular and out of control war with Iran was a real masterstroke in PR
bonus points for letting a major competitor position themselves as The Ethical AI Company
“direct your anger at trump not the democrats” buddy you are severely underestimating the amount of anger i have available to me
Was checking the Bun github repo and found this fun commit: "Bring back the slop label". Guess everyone just has this problem now. github.com/oven-sh/bun/...
The game you are about to play is a product of its time. It may depict the PS3, which was commonplace in society. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today.
Just donated $40 to Trans Lifeline because the entire world should be a trans-friendly space give.translifeline.org/campaign/765...
That and someone famously got shot this past year literally at the exact same time as 1) a school shooting and 2) blaming black people for gun violence. And we learned nothing. America is so wed to this fetishization of guns that even when they literally kill you they'll defend it.
Abolish ICE and prosecute everyone who stays in it from this day forward as members of a criminal conspiracy to commit murder.
Just me on the other site being disappointed I ever gave money to colorgrave when the lead dev is defending homophobic slop
Having always been an enjoyer of whole milk, it has never been quite so embarrassing as it is now. Next up, they're going to make it a fascist dog whistle to make scrambled eggs or something equally ridiculous.
Accidentally got a headset shipped to my old apartment, and the door dash delivery driver (apparently Best Buy outsources?) never took my calls or notes that the delivery address was incorrect. They left it in the apartment lobby at MIDNIGHT 🫠
My dentist recommended a TV show to me yesterday called "Landman" that I had never heard of, and today I stumbled upon a clip of it where a character was being needlessly transphobic.
What the hell happened to Taylor Sheridan? Dude wrote some of the most interesting movies and now he's... This.
I had problems with the game balance of XIII-2, though the final dungeon was one of my favorite experiences in the franchise. Lightning Returns though, that's some good shit. Love the XIII subseries.
i love the idea of a guy who’s still been on the edge of getting into jeopardy after 61 years of it airing
Best show best show best show
This, plus the discourse about people refusing to click a releases tab on GitHub, is a regular reminder that the average PC user actively refuses to engage with what they're being presented. There's conversations you could have about ease of use, accessibility, UI/UX design, but this is ignorance.
There's a post going around on the other site where someone is extremely mad that OneDrive just deleted all of his files without him asking to, and his explanation is basically "yeah so they STOLE my files and put them online so I deleted the files online and they also deleted them from my PC!?!?"
I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.
Hell yeah
It actually famously did with Expedition 33 sweeping The Game Awards which kinda shows exactly how little the average gamer cares, or even knows, about the usage of this stuff in modern game development.
Honestly I feel like it would be good to have a much more detailed perspective of exactly how this is being used. Most people's impression of "AI" for art is just generating full images but I feel like there are smaller scale use cases worth exploring.
Respectfully I think you're overestimating the size of their audience that cares enough to boycott because of things not even visible in the final product (if they're to be believed). Also given how popular games like The Finals and ARC Raiders are in spite of pretty rampant obvious AI use, well...
And so the story goes and what these companies are being sold and IMO what they're being sold is kind of a mixed bag to be clear. "AI" as most people understand it is synonymous with ChatGPT and you can't just ChatGPT your whole game. That's not going to produce quality.
It's less "they can be made without LLMs" and more, from the C-suite perspective, about costs and risk. If you're able to make the same thing for cheaper, why wouldn't you? If you don't need as many people (hypothetically - not that I believe this), why would you have as many people? And so on.
100% when you compare something from even the PS2 era vs the PS4 era, the expected fidelity greatly increases (animations, voicework, etc). Game engines themselves are much more complex these days too and less purpose-built, more generalized. When the market demands sacrifice, companies cut corners.
Case in point I think a lot of people who love DLSS and sing its praises every day will log onto social media the same day and rant about how "Gen AI is ruining everything and they never use it" like bro, yes you do, and you just said you love it. Context really matters but people want easy answers.
Very much a situation like how you need to understand basic maths before you can be trusted to use a calculator properly. You need to be decent at coding before you can be trusted with an LLM, otherwise, you develop too much of a dependency on it and have no intuitive sense for good working code.
This is exactly how it has been for me. I'm still coding virtually everything myself, but every so often it's just nice to have something I can ask a little question to, or maybe something hasn't worked for 20 minutes and I'm missing something that it can point out. Genuinely unblocks me. Sometimes.
