Epic CEO [Tim Sweeney] says AI disclosures like Steam's make "no sense" because AI will be involved in "nearly all" future game development

Waste of ink really
People are all gonna die, eventually. Might as well get it over with.

And who’s going to be powering that NPC’s LLM model? Unless all you want is a free hotlinked chatbot window disguised as a character? Because the publishers and developers sure as hell won’t power it on their end and if they do you’ll be paying out the ass for it. Otherwise that LLM for an NPC will have to run locally on your own hardware…in addition to the game itself.
So yeah, have fun with that.
And dialogue generation is ALL they can do btw. They can’t navigate a character around a 3d environment or even play against you in a grand strategy game. So, looking at RAM and GPU prices… yeah the novelty of LLM in games will run it’s course pretty quick.
It’d be a small model run locally, taking up maybe half a GB of VRAM

This is why Epic is losing lol
Agreed.
What does it cost them to make a checkbox and show the value to the customer?If they fear it, they know that the knowledge will make me think twice on buying it.

I’ve said this before that typically people don’t know what they are talking about AI, but I don’t expect this from people who SHOULD know what AI is.
There could be technologies that AI can assist with, hell I’m not a game dev but I assume even back in the day, devs used tricks and technologies that today could be considered as AI
However AI as in it will write you code, generate you a game and write you a story? Hell no.
Yes, nuance is important
but
I’d argue that demanding thecustomerseller fill out a 20 page form on what the AI was used for (and additionally which model) would result in the opposite sentiment for the seller and customer.
Theres a line between too little and too much information. -

The funeral services community liked that.

There’s a huge difference between AI for behind the scenes things, and AI artwork, animation, and voices.
Technical involvement/assistance: Sure, use whatever tools you have
Artistic: Hm…Maybe. Tell what it was used for and I can say if I agree with it.

In theory they could offer the ability in the settings to use the NPU if one is available.
Basically the same situation as it was with Raytracing. -

Lucky for them, I won’t buy any new games. Too many fantastic older games to play that they didn’t cheat and cut corners to produce.

Yeah we are on the losing side of history. The future will be total ai slop. People love it. We will be the grumpy old folks yelling that the tv ruined the world.

Idunno. Helps decision making

yeah for example even though I was inactive for years, it took zuck himself to help me make my decision to get the fuck off of fascbook in 2018

Bruh, that’s like 25-50% on an Nvidia card. Too much overhead! /s

SEC rule update: All stock shares current or future issued, are non-voting shares. Shareholders cannot be trusted to select good operators.
Tax law change: worker cooperatives have 50% reduced tax burden. CEOs are a burden, not a resource.

The head of the second most child-predatory company that people basically only use for free games is a bad actor. Who could have guessed?

Valve:
Valve wins.
Valve understands that sometimes less is more
