🤣 just visualizing the United Nations Assembly talking turns curb stomping some poor android.

Call me an optimist, but I think that if an android was actually going to destroy life as we know it, nations would do everything in their power to advert the disaster.

25% of Lemmy users are incapable of understanding this meme without the inclusion of a comma, and they seem to think this reflects more on the intelligence of the meme’s author, rather than their own inadequacies as a reader. They take this opportunity to effusively mansplain the importance of proper punctuation to her, and… Wait a minute… She’s a genius!

Please don’t. Children’s media is already flooded with ai generated fluff. You won’t make any money on it.

Can you be in the steam family group with a dead person?

It’s worth mentioning that in this instance the guy did send porn to a minor. This isn’t exactly a cut and dry, “guy used stable diffusion wrong” case. He was distributing it and grooming a kid.

The major concern to me, is that there isn’t really any guidance from the FBI on what you can and can’t do, which may lead to some big issues.

For example, websites like novelai make a business out of providing pornographic, anime-style image generation. The models they use deliberately tuned to provide abstract, “artistic” styles, but they can generate semi realistic images.

Now, let’s say a criminal group uses novelai to produce CSAM of real people via the inpainting tools. Let’s say the FBI cast a wide net and begins surveillance of novelai’s userbase.

Is every person who goes on there and types, “Loli” or “Anya from spy x family, realistic, NSFW” (that’s an underaged character) going to get a letter in the mail from the FBI? I feel like it’s within the realm of possibility. What about “teen girls gone wild, NSFW?” Or “young man, no facial body hair, naked, NSFW?”

This is NOT a good scenario, imo. The systems used to produce harmful images being the same systems used to produce benign or borderline images. It’s a dangerous mix, and throws the whole enterprise into question.

Firstly, It might help elucidate the issue if you’d detail everyone’s gender identity and sexual orientation.

Secondarily, your partner might be fixating incorrectly on your presumptively romantic encounter; it could be the case that she is mostly hurt by you leaving her party only to spend the evening with someone else, but has misdirected that hurt into jealousy. However, the gender and sexual orientation of you and your friend does matter.

This is based on a cool, but ultimately incorrect historical theory called “phantom time.” The general premise being that European history (and world history) was mostly fabricated as propaganda by royalty. It wouldn’t be so crazy except, a) archeology exist and validates certain medieval records and b) non European Nations exist, and record their own interactions with Western Nations.

I didn’t realize that it sold so well! That’s good to hear it is successful. I’m not over the moon with the game, but I did get 30 hours or so out of it, and don’t think it’s bad at all. My biggest annoyance was that it felt too similar to AOE 2, which I saw as the superior game at launch. Still, that’s a bit of bias from an old gamer, lol. I think it’s fun!

Definitely! Just to clarify, I think that good RTS games make good esports, but fundamentally on the basis is being carefully made, captivating, and nuanced. I think an overt focus on developing an RTS as a esport tends to lead to low risk, streamlined designs which while fun, lack some of the staying power that older, more established titles have. Perhaps, I’m disillusioned about the genre in general, and that’s not the case!

Also, yeah 3d can be good, but I do think that Sprite based graphics are easy to parse and very pleasing to look at. I wish we had a healthy balance of the 2. 2d also tends to look more, evergreen, with 3d RTS looking dated on release due to the quantity of animated units. Though, strong art design would help offset this.

I disagree with this premise. I think games like age of empires and StarCraft had mass appeal and success. They brought in audiences who don’t normally like games, and broadly were well received by young, old, and different genders. Especially age of empires 2.

Modern RTS games are just (mostly) sloppy, unfinished, cashgrabs with no vision. They suffer the most from the transition to 3d as well. If a major studio actually put work and time into a polished, 2d, isometric, RTS that wasn’t solely focused on being an esport, I think there is a major vacuum for them to fill.

It kinda reminded me of those old PS3 commercials that David lunch directed. Kinda liked it, tbh

Tbh, I think a lot of people are doing extended phone calls and discord convos these days. I can’t go to the grocery without hearing a few loud speaker phone convos, and back when I was more social online I’d leave Skype running in group calls for hours a day after work. (I especially hear Spanish convos over the phone in public from workers phones. I suspect many of these people don’t speak English well and are calling family and friends for social stimulation. I live in FL, USA)

The only thing stopping me now, I think, is I live with my partner and spend tons of time with them, so my social battery is constantly low.

Is that turtle flipping me off…?

Man, if I was personally responsible for laying off 1500 people, I’d flush myself down a toilet. People like this guy are just shit.

Good!

Probably if there is some sort of universal intelligence evaluating our actions and decisions, it would turn anyone entertaining this idea into an worm in their next life. The premise that the good fortuned should be passive to suffering, and enable it, out of some misguided moral calculus is absurd. You can’t game the system.

Mario vs Rabbits is a surprisingly fun turn based tactics game. It’s something different gameplay wise from much of the switch library.

I saw someone mention Mario Odyssey. I hadn’t owned a Mario game since Mario 64, but I thought it was incredible! It’s just fun as all heck, and the surreal tone of the game kept me entertained. It has a bizarre mashup of “realistic” styles with the Mario universe. There isn’t co-op exactly, but one person can play as the hat, helping out. Just, don’t count it out because you aren’t hyped about Mario. It’s a quality game, and stands on its own merits.

Ugh… I’m deep on the ai sphere, and this seems like a bad idea to me. Gpt (let’s face it, they are probably using open ai) can be deeply biased and arbitrary in it’s evaluations.

For example, “Two apples and four oranges,” might score better than: “4 oranges and 2 apples.” for inscrutable reasons. Say, if the question spelled out the numbers, and the LLM has a weighted bias to favor overall textual consistently, it might produces a reason to dock points apparently unrelated to that weight, such as: “incomplete sentence.” for the second answer, but not the first.

Students may also receive lower scores due to cultural biases towards certain phrases, and factors as straightforward as their name.

Finally, AI will hallucinate errors constantly if you ask it to evaluate text without any errors. Constantly. Consistently.
