Call me an optimist, but I think that if an android was actually going to destroy life as we know it, nations would do everything in their power to advert the disaster.

Please don’t. Children’s media is already flooded with ai generated fluff. You won’t make any money on it.
Can you be in the steam family group with a dead person?
It’s worth mentioning that in this instance the guy did send porn to a minor. This isn’t exactly a cut and dry, “guy used stable diffusion wrong” case. He was distributing it and grooming a kid.
The major concern to me, is that there isn’t really any guidance from the FBI on what you can and can’t do, which may lead to some big issues.
For example, websites like novelai make a business out of providing pornographic, anime-style image generation. The models they use deliberately tuned to provide abstract, “artistic” styles, but they can generate semi realistic images.
Now, let’s say a criminal group uses novelai to produce CSAM of real people via the inpainting tools. Let’s say the FBI cast a wide net and begins surveillance of novelai’s userbase.
Is every person who goes on there and types, “Loli” or “Anya from spy x family, realistic, NSFW” (that’s an underaged character) going to get a letter in the mail from the FBI? I feel like it’s within the realm of possibility. What about “teen girls gone wild, NSFW?” Or “young man, no facial body hair, naked, NSFW?”
This is NOT a good scenario, imo. The systems used to produce harmful images being the same systems used to produce benign or borderline images. It’s a dangerous mix, and throws the whole enterprise into question.
I didn’t realize that it sold so well! That’s good to hear it is successful. I’m not over the moon with the game, but I did get 30 hours or so out of it, and don’t think it’s bad at all. My biggest annoyance was that it felt too similar to AOE 2, which I saw as the superior game at launch. Still, that’s a bit of bias from an old gamer, lol. I think it’s fun!
Definitely! Just to clarify, I think that good RTS games make good esports, but fundamentally on the basis is being carefully made, captivating, and nuanced. I think an overt focus on developing an RTS as a esport tends to lead to low risk, streamlined designs which while fun, lack some of the staying power that older, more established titles have. Perhaps, I’m disillusioned about the genre in general, and that’s not the case!
Also, yeah 3d can be good, but I do think that Sprite based graphics are easy to parse and very pleasing to look at. I wish we had a healthy balance of the 2. 2d also tends to look more, evergreen, with 3d RTS looking dated on release due to the quantity of animated units. Though, strong art design would help offset this.
I disagree with this premise. I think games like age of empires and StarCraft had mass appeal and success. They brought in audiences who don’t normally like games, and broadly were well received by young, old, and different genders. Especially age of empires 2.
Modern RTS games are just (mostly) sloppy, unfinished, cashgrabs with no vision. They suffer the most from the transition to 3d as well. If a major studio actually put work and time into a polished, 2d, isometric, RTS that wasn’t solely focused on being an esport, I think there is a major vacuum for them to fill.
It kinda reminded me of those old PS3 commercials that David lunch directed. Kinda liked it, tbh
Tbh, I think a lot of people are doing extended phone calls and discord convos these days. I can’t go to the grocery without hearing a few loud speaker phone convos, and back when I was more social online I’d leave Skype running in group calls for hours a day after work. (I especially hear Spanish convos over the phone in public from workers phones. I suspect many of these people don’t speak English well and are calling family and friends for social stimulation. I live in FL, USA)
The only thing stopping me now, I think, is I live with my partner and spend tons of time with them, so my social battery is constantly low.
Man, if I was personally responsible for laying off 1500 people, I’d flush myself down a toilet. People like this guy are just shit.
Good!
Probably if there is some sort of universal intelligence evaluating our actions and decisions, it would turn anyone entertaining this idea into an worm in their next life. The premise that the good fortuned should be passive to suffering, and enable it, out of some misguided moral calculus is absurd. You can’t game the system.
Ugh… I’m deep on the ai sphere, and this seems like a bad idea to me. Gpt (let’s face it, they are probably using open ai) can be deeply biased and arbitrary in it’s evaluations.
For example, “Two apples and four oranges,” might score better than: “4 oranges and 2 apples.” for inscrutable reasons. Say, if the question spelled out the numbers, and the LLM has a weighted bias to favor overall textual consistently, it might produces a reason to dock points apparently unrelated to that weight, such as: “incomplete sentence.” for the second answer, but not the first.
Students may also receive lower scores due to cultural biases towards certain phrases, and factors as straightforward as their name.
Finally, AI will hallucinate errors constantly if you ask it to evaluate text without any errors. Constantly. Consistently.
The attrition is slow, but every user lost to Linux is likely lost forever. After a year or so of totally free software, who is going to build a new windows compatible PC, buy a Windows 11 license, and pay for subscription service just to do word processing, or play a few incompatible games?
Windows completely overestimates people’s willingness to throw out their laptop or PC just to get a new OS paintjob. For every person who does it, another one will leave their ecosystem forever.
I believe Librechat would achieve your goals, but you’d need a PC or server to host it in. It supports all major API.
Kobold light might with as well, and doesn’t need to be hosted locally, but I don’t think it supports Claude haiku specifically, for unknown reasons.
Additionally, the official Claude api workshop is pretty good on desktop, but it only supports Claude.
In some respects, I can see this. Games such as unscrupulous MMOs are often carefully engineered to distort your ability to manage time and money. However, many games are still produced as entertainment products meant to compete on a basis of artistic or entertainment value. The addictive aspect doesn’t come from a manipulative design, but Rather just plain old fun, and in those cases similar arguments could be made about strawberries or books.
I would like to reiterate that there are addictive video games which really do try to manipulate you. Just like how a breakfast cereal might market itself as healthy and balanced while loaded with sugar and deceptive portion sizes, leading to unhealthy habits, a money first video game will contain elements carefully crafted to distort player’s perception and reasoning.
It’s just… All mixed together.
It looks amazing, too! If Konami would hire a crew to go fix up the level scripting and maybe flush out some content, it’d compete with current releases
‘Metal gear 5, the phantom pain’ and ‘Death Standing’ both look amazing on the deck and are worth checking out if you don’t mind Kojima studio’s whole deal!
🤣 just visualizing the United Nations Assembly talking turns curb stomping some poor android.
