By that definition, there’s no “democratization” here at all. There is animation software out there that is completely free, and plenty of free tutorials on how to use it. The only thing stopping you from creating animation is refusing to put the time into it.  Everything you need is already cheap & accessible.

They did prove their point though: The point of this AI is to *not hire artists in the first place*

It’s working exactly they way they want.  And that’s the problem.

short-sighted, and reeks of people that refuse to adapt to the times

Less-labor intensive? The purpose isn’t to make art easier, it’s to steal their work altogether and push them away - which they are already doing. Making their labor obsolete is just another pro-corporate convenience.

Told you that these corporate/tech bro shills are trying to turn creative human labor obsolete through AI. There’s a reason they’re trying to criminalize artists in general - they’re forcing an ‘easy’ and ‘ethical’ narrative that benefits only them. For instance, they call artist “privileged” because they built their…

Everyone forgets about Castlevania.

Exactly.

I agree IF, and only if, the AI in use is trained on artwork either created by the person using it, or informed, opt-in volunteers. That’s not how most of them work. Most datasets are trained from art scraped all around the internet.

Happily. Go fuck yourself.

The answer is money (at all costs) because thats all the answer ever is

Why did they do this? I mean I assume the answer is to make money but it seems so obviously stupid for a site that has from what I can see a decent track record. 

I don’t have a “hate-boner” for Chris Pratt, his shitty politics notwithstanding. I just wish they ignored that temptation to cast big name stars, and left it to proper voice actors who let the characters stand out more than their star power, pardon the pun.

I found the opposite. The normal joycons make my wrists hurt with extended play, especially if I’m laying down, while the I have no such issues with the Hori’s. 

I heard some guys very loudly discussing physical vs digital media in a nearly empty mall a few weeks ago and one of them said that streaming will be the future.

I sure as fuck hope not, because that will cut a lot of people out of gaming entirely, at least in the states. Decent Internet is still a “luxury.” Not to…

Buy the Hori Split pad controllers. Its a game changer for playing portable

No, you want propaganda. A reporter’s job is not to state the “benefits of NFTs.” Their job is to report the truth. And the truth of the matter is, there are no uses for NFTs that are not better handled than the way things are.

Don’t mind me, I’m just rolling around in all this sweet, sweet money I get for negging on NFTs, paid by... paid by... um... you know... the anti-NFT lobby!

Beside the “get good” trolls, the Souls community is pretty damn nice. Especially those who curate the wikis and create story explanation vids.

And what kind of community are you saying resulted from that, exactly?

Nintendo purposely ended Virtual Console so that your purchases do not transfer over. They locked everything behind a sub to Switch Online, where you can’t buy/download any of the games, just rent.
