    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    The best way to get a chatbot to pass turing is probably to make it stupid and annoying. "Lol what idk" is the most human response to most questions.

    Hogwarts Legacy

    Imagine a psychological thriller where Santa is a maniacal tyrant that has enslaved a race of magical beings, genetically engineered them to like subservience. They are immortal and don't breed, so just adhere to a miserable life for all eternity to create joy that they will never experience.

    Hogwarts Legacy

    I'm no Harry Potter lore nerd but the concept of house elves is pretty gross. Fantasy slaves like familiars, elementals etc is common as you say, but House Elves are portrayed as the most pitiable version in that they are generally mistreated, love being mistreated and would hate to be set free...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    An example of "bullying" is to ask it a sentence that makes no sense. It'll make it fit. This kind of reads like the question a protagonist in a movie uses to get out of an impossible robot-prisoner situation. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LogicBomb

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    Sure, but it can get things wrong in egregious ways that would be an obvious indicator that it's a chatbot and not a human. Even if ChatGPT was trained to pretend to be a human, if it fucks up questions like this it can fail the Turing test. What's interesting is that the January version of...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    No, but chatbots built for the same purpose as ChatGPT never will because they don't attempt to act like a human, just provide useful responses. I imagine that a chatbot with the same level of technological backing as ChatGPT could if it was designed too though, as long as the evaluator wasn't...

    She sounds pretty genuine to me, albeit they do have some kind of treatment that I think they give all the voice actors that give them an artificial feel compared to watching a studio mic'd recording.

    Is Sirona's voice modulated for English translation? I thought they just recorded a trans female's voice. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2340289/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t40

    Agree 100% A story that is generally internally consistent is waaay more interesting than one where the characters or systems act outside the way they're set up. Once a universe goes off the rails it stops being something worth considering and is just an amusing diversion until it ends.

    https://www.nexusmods.com/news/14733 The cognitive dissonance between "we are for inclusivity" and "this texture swap mod is disallowed" is impressive. I don't really care if some closet homos and shitlords can't mod pride flags out of the game, them banning it makes me just want to create...

    I haven't done her quest line but maybe she wants to live her life as a transexual. Maybe her bar gets better tips out of pity. Gender bending has been a staple of RPGs forever.

    Plus the marketing campaign of HL was very well done and expensive. They had a lot of astroturfed grass roots shit with all the social media synchronization for all the dopes (including me) to pump twitch streams and everything else, they've got a lot of HL advertising, the media press coverage...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    If they ever hook up ChatGPT to an image generation system such that the emotion of the chat bot at a given point in a session is combined with a base face to create something like a "prior" in the DALL-E network, it'd be pretty frightening. Especially if they created "personalities" with...

    I think a loooot of people want a sequel where you explore the Potterverse as an adult with options for light/dark side. A plot like The Departed where you play as DiCaprio's character as a sort of undercover Unspeakable and have to thwart some blood supremecist plot and world-ending nonsense...

    Having gone through the process on a few games to collect a bunch of disparate mods and get them all working together it's hard for me to have much empathy for mod authors upset by this policy. Mod authors "take their ball and go home" alllll the time. Nexus mods wants to be a comprehensive way...

    Just to add to this, guarantee there's going to be a more popular underground modding scene than for basically any other singleplayer RPG. The thread on loverslab about Hogwarts Legacy is a den of degenerates.

    I've never been involved with any Nexus drama but from following the conversations in the Hogwarts Legacy modding Discord they seem very focused on trying to not piss off WB / WBI. So they are seeking to avoid controversery first and foremost more than pushing any kind of agenda. This, of...

    Older i get the less i believe this. Not about parents specifically, just in general. When i die in my death bed, surrounded my family and loved ones, I'll probably be thinking, "damn, i wish i played ff7 or ultima online when it was current instead of hanging with the boys or having a...
