Popular for the same reasons people like Dane Cook became popular, he played to the lowest common denominator. Your average joe gets a chuckle out of the humor which doesn’t require much thinking. Cordon has had some funny skits here and there in the past, and he is charismatic which draws people in.

Nope, not American. And resorting to insults because someone disagrees with you only reflects poorly on your intelligence.

Not almost, *is*.

It’s really series that just needed to stick to be a serial, one after the other set of stories, not turned into this franchise with multiplayer and now a “live service” game.
I will likely play the upcoming Japan one despite not playing AC since Black Flag, just because I’ve always dreamed of them…

If you have a job or contribute something to society that others need or enjoy, then you have purpose. If you don’t currently, then you can if you so desire. That is all purpose is, mattering in some way to society. If we let AI take that away, then humans no longer really matter.

Just because someone else will do something doesn’t mean we should too... Someone is going to rob a store, doesn’t mean I should rob it as well, after all, it’s going to happen anyways!

Regardless of what we think other countries might do, we have to try and set an example for the kind of future we want to see, and if…

That is what I’m commenting on too and it isn’t mindless, it’s a new statement each time that is narrating the progression of the game. This is how all of the games ofJustin Roiland’s studio play out.

That’s a very short-sighted take. This has nothing to do with “dumb and smart people”, which in itself is an idiotic statement because having practiced a skilled trade doesn’t inherently make you a smart person, just someone who had enough of an interest and opportunity to work on it.

AI taking over low-skilled labor…

Nah not really. The AI at least for now isn’t truly learning to draw and whatnot, it doesn’t understand the works from a conceptual level. The only reason these ones produce such seemingly good and varied work right now is because they’re tapped into the wealth of what the internet has to offer.
Creative commons only…

You understand that this is a topic about AI right? Just because there are other things that also may be leading us down that path, doesn’t invalidate this cause as well. In both cases, we have to actually learn to vote better as a society and stop voting for the most charismatic asshole. We could stop the…

This is such a tired and poorly-thought out argument that so many people jump to and think they’re being clever about. This is a VERY different situation. You’re talking about mostly menial labor being replaced that freed up people to pursue higher-skilled jobs. AI is encroaching on the actual high-skilled jobs now,…

Nobody said that. But it’s one example of MANY if you’ve been spending any time online around these kinds of discussions. The worry here is the fact that a lot of people do think like this person.

To my mind the programmer is doing the same thing through the use of the AI they created. I’m not saying there’s no originality but let’s not pretend we don’t massively feed off each other.

This isn’t really mindless quipping either, the things they’re saying in the trailer are story progressing, not random, it’s just not a great story.

#6 People don’t want to participate in a “metaverse” that is the creation of one of the largest companies in the world and thus lacks identity and soul. The future will be community built up Metaverses, like VRChat and the like, and open-source tools will be developed to start bringing more cross-product movement.
The…

It’s so utterly ridiculous that they are even caring about these items. I don’t think any of the regular “non-obtainable” items are anywhere near as good as other stuff you can get in the game, most literally just want it for fashion purposes, which has no effect on the online gameplay. Wearing Fia’s panties literally…

And that counters my argument in what way? If they are drawing art where the intent is clearly for it to be children, then yes that’s obviously bad. But if the contextual assumption is they are of-age, then there’s nothing really wrong going on, because the character is of-age... Age laws are meant to protect those…

It’s a fictional piece of artwork. You can slap any age number on them. Do they look old enough to possibly be an adult and you’re imagining them as so? Then there’s no harm going on, call it a bit weird if you want but meh. People form connections to characters and their designs and then it crosses over into horny…

I think that’s part of why they’re cracking down. The publicity from this means potential money, and they want their image to be cleaned up for investors.

Even if they used custom data formats, which they could in Unity, you’ll always be able to rip the model straight from the GPU memory as well. So there’s literally no way to stop this. No game in history ever has and ever will short of GPU makers implementing some sort of proprietary hardware memory encryption scheme,…

and players concerned about having their custom avatars “ripped” (stolen) by malicious players lurking in public instances.
