    Kerbal Space Program 2

    I never got into KSP. Why are they creating KSP2 instead of building on KSP1? Both use Unity, but are there other major limitations to KSP1 that are motivating them to remake instead of improve?

    Hogwarts Legacy

    I could see the gameplay being compelling if you're the seeker or one of the beaters responsible for fucking up the seeker. If you're the Keeper or Chaser, you'll just play wizard soccer for a few minutes until the seeker catches the snitch and invalidates everything you've done.

    The Astronomy Thread

    Yeah, agreed. I don't know how common it is for high earth orbit satellites to have ellipictal orbits that intersect with Starlink, but if they did that orbital mass could displace into high earth orbit if a starlink keppler syndrome btfo'd anything that descended into LEO with enough velocity...

    The Astronomy Thread

    The comforting thing about Starlink satellites is that they have a ~5 year orbital lifespan. So if a massive disaster happened creating a Kessler syndrome that made those low earth orbit altitudes a nightmare, I think ? it'd work itself out in a few years. Then again I don't know what kind of...

    This is the right position to take, especially when it looks like big features like Quidditch were planned and then probably booted to DLC. Many gamers are morons who don't understand how a feature can be planned as part of the main game and then bounced out of the release during crunch time...

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

    It's impossible to say because even if openai published their detailed design it probably wouldn't be up to date. https://lifearchitect.ai/chatgpt/

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

    I didn't actually check these answers but ChatGPT appears to have dominated some basic geometry questions. What's funny is that 19.69^3 = 7633.736209

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

    Yeah, it's weird that it's able to come up with syntax correct code for fairly difficult questions and not have mathematically coherent answers for basic addition.

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

    Sentience is an awkward bar to set for an AI because it's more philosophical than anything grounded in biology, science, physics, math etc. Personally i think most humans have a pretentious view of their own sentience. Like they aren't just a bunch of lizard survival instincts with a thin veneer...

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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...
