Can people speak in anything other than hyperbole? A pullback to 4500 wouldn't even be a correction.

Prime is honestly pretty good, all things considered. I don't have high hopes it stays that way.

wc runs are small change though, you don't have to buy gold for that.

The Fed is the most audited, most transparent financial organization in the world. The "AUDIT THE FED" people have no idea what they're talking about. Concentrate more on the fact that the DOD has failed their audit 6 years in a row now...

Right, I agree with this. Narrating indie RPGs is a good use for even mediocre AI software. But you know some shithead at EA is thinking they can built 5 more Mass Effect games without paying any actors. This is just simping for AI pirates.

Right. This was my evolution. It was extremely neat for the first 4-5 months after GPT 3.5 smashed onto the scene, but as I started working with our chatbot developers at work and setting up Bedrock instances, and then dug in doing a lot of my own actual research... its really just very clever...

Honestly we're gonna have to ride our hopes on AppleTV+ to carry the torch for a while. Apple has the money to burn to make niche prestige dramas as halo products.

No, and I didn't buy that on release either. I got that for 10 bucks or less like 2 years later, and played it fully patched. And I still never finished it because Horizon Zero Dawn released on PC and made me immediately regret enjoying ME:A.

I buy very few video games, because I've been burned so many times. 95% of the stuff I play comes out of my grandfathered-forever Humble Bundle sub. The only full-price release day games I've bought since become a full-time corpo drone are both Horizon games (great, okay), Destiny 2 (bad)...

No that's not how that works either. Large, powerful models need a lot of compute during pre-training and fine-tuning, but they also require less large, but still large, compute instances to produce output from prompts. GenAI is expensive on both ends, training and runtime, vs other lesser...

I think @DickTrickle was correct in that doing this for any game with a lot of dialogue, the prompt engineering would just be harder than hiring real people. But sure, with 10 years and enough GPUs to melt a battleship, yeah, someone could probably Derek Smart themselves their own one-man game...

It's already good enough for video games, it's just not good enough for good video games and likely never will be. But if we let companies shove shitty video games at us, that's on us.

Na, I got it, we're on the same page basically. You've just got no fight left in you. I see how it is. Do not go gentle into that goyslop night, friend.

Linking this again. https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~eunsol/courses/data/bitter_lesson.pdf TL;DR - 70 years of AI research has demonstrated that trying to make AI 'smarter' via clever tricks and cognitive hacks produced effectively 0 results. People are under the mistaken assumption that this new...

ftfy And that alone should tell you that it's actually slop. We are entering a world of Peak Garbage. Please do not cheer it on, or else be pronounced another Funko-Pop-Buying consoomer.

That's not how the math works lol. If you refine the training set to a subset of higher quality content, you make it worse at generalization. And an AI is never going to tell the director "Well, I think this line would read better like this..." This fantasy that you can remove the human...

So what kinda fried chicken are we all getting today to celebrate?

It came out on Friday. Yours already got delivered?

Actual vocal quality, maybe. Acting ability? Unlikely. Emotional quality? No. All these tools are is averaging engines. @Pyros is correct. While I think that we'll see a few studios pull off something amazing in the next decade with these AI tools, for the most part, GenAI is the new...

By the time tech ever got to the point that "blockchain and tokenization" are "a big part of our financial system" the Financial God AI will have progressed to the point where it just allocates all the resources with one giant fake and gay algorithm anyway. Any money in that system would just...

If Trump wins, money printers will brrr, SEC regulators will all get fired, and crypto will go on a huge tear. It'll be terrible for the dollar but if that's not what's behind your assets it could be great for you.

The Great Grift Cycle begins anew.

I don't even notice the 1800R curve on my OLED G8. I doubt 1700R will be noticeable at 32 inches. I kinda want the Dell, because it looks fucking amazing, but there's benefits and drawbacks to Ultrawide and I'm not sure which would ultimately be best.

RIP Good TV 1999-2024

All I hear is "I'm shit and I like being fed shit." Every AI voice acting tech we've heard so far is garbage, and even if it gets to average it'll still just be average, never good. It will be used to make worse games so future Bobby Koticks can capture more margin for themselves. Many of the...

The sequel:

I don't know how the writing can start off so good for 2 seasons and then turn to shit. Oh wait it's Ron Moore.

Did you really post the same rant twice with different words? Are you a bot?

Not in all PC Game Pass games, unless something changed recently.

Did you expect this to perform like anything other than an IPO or SPAC? Let it settle out a few weeks before buying.

The system encouraging people to invest their cash in either capital assets to improve their lives or businesses to generate money, or invest it the market, rather than incentive them to hold assets in cash, could arguably be considered a great strength of the system. If holding cash was the...

And now it's back to being fucked in Edge. It's fine in Firefox still.

lol I've gotta admit this is pretty good.
