Yes but we all know that Tim is a bit of an idiot.

We’ve all seen AI made games, they are awful. Terrible optimisation (often not optimised at all), programming mistakes that first year junior wouldn’t make, glitchy looking art and basic gameplay because AI cannot be original.

Yeah I’m sure they’re really going to take off.

The problem is that the very capabilities that let a game have “way more of something than it could otherwise have” (say, thousands of unique voices reading context-specific runtime generated text) can be used to reduce the need for workers (so one can just pretty much generate all speech in game by paying a bunch of random people of the street for to come over and read text for 1h and then just clone their voices and used that to generate all in-game speech - the quality way less than pre-prepared lines read by a trained voice actor, but the cost will be a tiny fraction of it).

AI can helps us do things which in practice would otherwise be impossible but many (maybe most) companies are just using it to cut manpower costs even though it delivers inferior results than than trained professionals.

Careful, his suction might leave you ball-less

Steam is my favourite multi-billion dollar monopoly

Don’t forget all the “web3” games on EGS that are the future, too!

Take the free stuff, give them nothing.

Epic fail

block dataharvesting to the epic store from your hosts file.

Is this what you’re talking about?

yea that’s just playing on semantics. Of course machine learning will keep assisting many different workflows, thank you Tim.
Go ahead with your ML-assisted procedural animations, your ML-enhanced denoising, your ML-powered stochastic mesh pruning.

What people don’t want is generated visuals/music that try and pass off as art. I’d love to summon debility to explain that the ruling class doesn’t get it, but they do -it’s a convenient way for them to save on human labor that is also… just too tempting to use for replacing art as well.

Sweeney is not very smart, is he?

I like AI, and see no issue with disclosing how it is applied. People who are pro-AI would like to further hone their craft, by understanding what workflows and issues are involved. Anti-AI folk can simply avoid what they dislike. Either way, it is win-win.

I think I agree. At some point it won’t make any difference because it will just be another tool. We can have our knee jerk reactions for now, though. Especially for people like lemmy users.

Sugars and additives are in nearly all foods, maybe we should stop asking manufacturers to disclose it on the ingredients list.

I have seen handmade tags, for stuff that wasn’t machine loomed, etc. But handmade clothing is mostly dead in the consumer world, unless you class mass production methods as handmade… Which they are made by hands in some stage

Jup, that’s it.

Valve:

Valve wins.

Waste of ink really

Handmade clothes may be not the norm but they are not extinct. Dresses, scarfs and accesorising can be found handmade. Luxury market is in majority handmade.

The point is that the label is not pointless. It exist and will exist in the future. I just hope that games with human art won’t be considered a luxury.

App Store policies from Apple and Google are unacceptable. That’s Sweeney. Broken clock right twice a day and all.

“Will” is still a future tense word, right? As in “later, not now”
