Don’t be biased except for these biases.
Lol, after both steal every image on the internet.
No wonder the images look similar.
I can’t believe this is the first I’m hearing about this. Tribes is one of my favourite games! I hope this one is good.
Sega Dreamcast. It had and IMO still has some of the most unique games ever. Crazy Taxi, Powerstone, Jet Set Radio, the list goes on!
"The global video game business is big but barely growing, Spencer noted to me. One measure, from industry research firm Newzoo, estimates that 2023 game industry revenues were up just 0.6% from 2022. "
So still growth and a little bit more revenue. Total justification for mass layoffs. 🙄
It doesn’t really bother me, but like you I am bored of it and I generally ignore it, or block communities if I’m seeing too much of it.
It is really cool that the models can generate fairly detailed images, but they’re all so similar and… boring. I once saw someone describe it like corporate art. It just tries to imitate something popular in a very mediocre way. You can keep re-training it, but it can still only imitate.
Still, if people are into it then that’s ok too. I have used it at work on occasion to create stupid little icons for internal tools I’ve built, so I guess there’s some little bit of utility.
My guess is that it’ll be used for a while for cheap and low effort branding, but soon companies will want to hire real artists again to differentiate themselves from the ML spam.
No job is safe from AI?
I have an original Deck and I love it! They didn’t make it more powerful or anything like that so I feel no need to upgrade.
The special edition with the orange accents is sexy though!
Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger, and Mega Man X
“Products are priced based on their cost/value, not the companies overall profit margins”
It doesn’t take much to observe that this is just incorrect.
That’s how it’s supposed to work, and they teach that in your Intro to Economics course, but in reality it just doesn’t work that way.
I misinterpreted the headline and expected a joke article about Epic charging developers who don’t use Unreal.
Came here to say exactly this.
I’d trust the piracy sites more actually. We don’t voluntarily give them our credit card and address.
The dangerous part is that it sounds like the ad is generated by Spotify.
In the “tech already exists” scenario, an advertising firm will have to guess at the voice people want to hear and submit their own audio files to advertise.
If this works the way it sounds, the ad firm sends in some text and Spotify generates a voice ad based on who you listen to. Less effort on the advertising firm and far more targeted.
Both are bad. The second is worse!
And frankly, it’s another reason not to support Spotify. You are supposed to be paying to listen to music, not support research into this bullshit advertising.
Are they not sending out emergency messages via the cell network? Is it not on local news and the radio? Doesn’t YouTube have the ability to inject regional advertising? Are they not even putting up road signs mentioning the evacuation?
I don’t get how it’s Facebook’s problem when not everyone has a Facebook account and there are many other (better) avenues.
Maybe I’m missing something about the infrastructure in more remote areas?
Wikipedia is pretty good for computer sciency stuff. I’ll often use it as a reference for things like protocols or if I need a quick refresher for some algorithm.
Sure, I’ll still be sitting with my friends and we can ignore the ML crap.
I could be wrong, but this just reeks of Hasbro trying to cash in on the “AI” hype. With this and the recent licensing thing I’m hoping to switch to a different system anyway.
The nice thing with DnD though is you can play in your own way. If you like all the ML stuff, go for it and enjoy it! :)
My group doesn’t strictly follow the rules anyway, but this is still dumb. To me the whole point of playing DnD is to have real human interaction!
Probably! According to Wikipedia you get 3-5 hours off of 6 AA batteries. Not sure how that changes with the TV tuner but battery life wasn’t great.
