Watermarking the art (laundering) AI tools would not be “dumb as fuck”, you’re implying it’s the user producing it and not the AI, which isn’t the reality. People want to know whether the art was made by a person or a machine that launder’s the internet’s collective works for profit. Watermarking it would help cut…

It’s not the same kind of exclusivity though. It doesn’t restrict the game to Xbox like a lot of Sony games restrict to Playstation. PC gamers get to play them too, as do Linux gamers.

There’s no central thing to cite, I’m telling you as an artist in these communities. The primary thing people are trying to fight for is for it to be illegal to just use anyone’s data without permission, for it to be opt-in by default, instead of the current “we’ll use your data, and then if you’re lucky you’ll hear…

People aren’t trying to stop or “luddite” the “AI revolution”. They’re trying to ensure it is properly regulated so that the harms it can also cause are mitigated. To pretend AI has no potential harm on society is incredibly ignorant.
The AI revolution is not at all comparable to the industrial revolution which simply…

The :lul: and :omegalul: emotes you see commonly used are TotalBiscuit. So he has a permanent presence.

Probably should have mentioned along with the sexual assault issue, that he and people he brings on are frequently homophobic and bigotted. He also let a woman masturbate him behind a counter live on stream.

By “a must for our bottom line” what they really mean is “a must for maximizing gross profit and pleasing investors”. Good single player games sell well, but they also cost a lot to make and the actual profits most studious will make only allow for meager growth in comparison to studios doing even mildly successful…

Perhaps the writer should have looked up RAM prices before thinking this was a worthwhile article. Though I guess they did their job in contributing to what Kotaku is being known more for these days, just writing nonsensical articles meant to drive clicks alone.

$44 for a decent set of 16GB DDR4 RAM. So no, 16GB is not…

Only DDR5 is astronomical (though nowhere near as high as it was at launch last year). DDR4 is perfectly fine and there is an overflowing amount of it, you’ll constantly see massive discounts. You can get 16GB of decent 3600mhz DDR4 for around $44 USD right now... That’s a god damn bargain.

16GB was “excessive” in 2009. Buying a PC in 2020 you should not accept anything less than that. Chrome alone can suck up gigabytes. 16GB is not at all an unreasonable min-spec in this day. Eventually these things have to increase, it’s been a long time coming.

Nobody is saying the code itself isn't *an* art. That's irrelevant to the issues at hand. That code doesn't have to be used on unconsenting people's work. And the basis of it should be focused on solving things we actually need solved, like medical care and dangerous labor people don't want to be doing so they can be…

What you’re tired of is just simple human nature. If we can have a younger, newer, in better condition item, we want that. The same applies to partners, if we can find someone we like being with, but is also in their physical prime, why wouldn’t you, just going to say no cause there is a larger age gap?
And a lot of…

These people are really reaching to have something to be upset about. Even if it was inspired by Jolyne, the design is completely different apart from a similar color of green... There is no ground for claiming it’s a rip-off, it looks nothing like her, it could easily be a completely separate character in the show.

Pretty sure this is just marketing reasons. I don’t know what you’re expecting for an answer. If he says “Yes, PC version coming in 6 months!”, that has the potential to significantly impact launch sales, which are the most important metric to investors. It could also cause legal issues with contractual obligations to…

I don’t think it’s that simple. Look at the video, this seems to be a case of terrible city planning. It is train tracks running through a short maybe 100 meter strip of road that connects 2 intersections... The truck had no reason to stay at the first intersection before turning right onto that road, as they’d be…

I think this is one of those cases where the studios will just need to eat a bit of a loss for the sake of a better long-term “MCU-like” structure going forward. They have to establish some more core characters instead of pushing out yet another broody Batman or Superman movie where they make the same illogical moral…

I have a feeling it doesn’t really matter to James Cameron. He just wants to finish his trilogy. But yeah unlikely to make its money back I think, though there is a lot more hype building up behind it just due to the history of it than anything Black Adam got.

They didn’t drop it, it’s just that there’s no-build options of the battle royale modes.

I decided to give Fortnite a try again and wow has it changed quite a lot. No-build mode, Apex-like vaulting/sliding/ziplines, EVERYTHING is destructible now and have rigid body physics. Gold currency loot that drives a bounty, vending, NPC and weapon upgrade system.. vehicles, vaults/cases with good gear in them that…

I work as a programmer and 3D artist so I understand it perfectly well too. But that is going to happen regardless of the situation they’re put in. Not letting that unattainable desire for perfection control you is a hard lesson to learn unfortunately and deprives the world of many a great works.
