I suspect part of the issue is that if you hadn’t explained some of these offensive stereotypes to me just now, I wouldn’t have even spotted them in the mix. Today I learned that fried chicken is somehow offensive, in certain contexts? (???) I mean, sure, maybe that’s offensive to a subculture, but is it bad enough to…

That’s almost as many iPhones as they sell in a whole year. How could anyone in tech type out that sentence and not do a double take even if the information they were using as a reference was incorrect?

But judging by your factory-buying comment, you haven’t thought any of this through. Like, by your logic, everything sucks so why even bother objecting to -anything-? Why do you hate game developers?

Not yet, no. Give it 5 years of iteration and it will sound convincing. Also, who is to say that this is going to replace handcrafted dialogues. This tech is utterly pointless for entire genres of games. But for certain open world games this sounds like a pretty cool thing to have. 

Tell me you don’t have anything to say without telling me you don’t have anything to say.

Like it or not, this is the way it’s going. I assume every single main quest and side quest will be tailored made for the game. But generic NPCs will inevitably be crafted using AI. They will probably be equipped will all the world building devs made to be convincing and will be able to react based on your…

Yes, an early tech demo of an emerging technology that’s using an already dated voice synthesis program does sounds pretty robotic. It’s crappy right now, but in the future the possibility of having NPCs that can actually react and grow organically based on the player’s actions is absolutely incredible.

Who cares. AI Art is here to stay, and this is great for indie games since having nice art for their game now takes minutes instead of hundreds (or thousands) of dollars and weeks of work. 

In 20 years or less, AI will mean the same thing as computers. A human still made creative choices for those icons. Ya'll sound like cavemen defending your stone axes when chainsaws were invented. Get with the program

Ai art is not disrespectful to artists. Every artist I know uses it in their workflow. Every. Single. One. Including myself. It’s the new photo shop. Everyone was saying the SAME THING about photo shop and computer generated images vs classic hand drawn animation and frames and signs and all of it. “Took the skill…

I mean, it had NPCs - they just were all robots, to avoid having to do face animation.

Any news on them patching fun into the game? Was surprised to see it didn’t make the cut at launch :~) 

I’m six years late to Hollow Knight but I’m playing through it now and about 20 hours in I’ve pretty much had it with all the back tracking. There’s a fast travel, but I’m old man, it’s not fast enough, and I didn’t have any of the pins that you can mark the map with until I’d already passed fifty different places I…

I’m a big PoP fan and was getting this game regardless. But when I first found out it was a Metroidvania, I cringed. Purely because of the issue that this features solves. As a player, when I get a new ability, I want to go to all the places that it can now unlock. And I love when games give you unexpected abilities…

That trailer is practically non-Chinese. Chinese culture, worldview and events are integral especially to the first book.

I spent more time than I should have reading the store page and trying to divine if this was a parody or sincere, and then I realized: it doesn’t fucking matter, because the Jones vortex is just meaningless nonsense, but like, not in a fun dadaist way.

can’t AI come up with better energy solutions?

I found it kinda hilarious that a certain section of twitter is going all “we took all these little things and we used them to build our headcanon that gwen’s trans, and we’ll be very loud and vocal about it! — and if your headcanon is that she’s cis, just keep it to yourself”

Much love to the trans community but this ain’t it.
