Oh damn, that’s interesting! You’re right, I totally didn’t notice it at first.

Yeah hopefully they were tasteful about the crops, at least… Part of me suspects it will be cropped right down the center though…

I was hoping this would have the Japanese dub lol. Still, pretty cool that they did this.

Really looking forward to see another take on GitS.

I also have faith that Science Saru will come at this one from a unique direction and art style. 🤞 Fingers crossed that the story holds up and has something really interesting to say about the modern digital climate.

I mean, the question was rhetorical. But I don’t disagree.

Like seriously – are people using their brains or what?

It’s stupid as hell to share any personal information with a company that is interested in spying on you and feeding your data to the nearest advertiser they can find.

Like seriously – are people using their brains or what?

Yes,

but game companies also want to spy on you and potentially sell your data. Even if they aren’t selling it, the ability to do so increases the value to investors. This is the way tech companies talk about invasive software in general, FWIW.

It’s like grub hub but for cats.

(Watch out birds!)

Fwiw I agree that match making is difficult in this game.

I wish Lemmy was just a bit bigger to get better use of the match making utilities they have.

Hey,

No much to add to this myself but it’s awesome and you should keep up the good work!

Yeah, I mean… We all hoped it wouldn’t have been this way lmao

I actually feel like season 4 was pretty good as a modern rendition. Otherwise, I’m partial to Takeshi Koikes films. There’s a new one of those coming out just this week iirc.

If you have the lid closed, you’re looking at 3 to 15 watts to have a laptop running in the background doing some basic server shit.

Not all laptops make effective use of power with the lid closed, sadly. Not saying this as a correction, but for others to know that they need to make sure these settings are available in the bios of the system they are buying.

Damn, Marshall law is on trump’s side now?

What are we doing, folks?

I think this is a good suggestion. As a single user, you could still theme it while also providing cross-posting of other artists you like. Additionally, your network would act as a “web ring” of sorts.

We remember the best 10% of old games but compare them to 100% of new games, including the 90% that are crap.

While I think there’s truth to this, with regards to single player games, I think multiplayer games have had a notable shift toward “service” that gives players less agency to keep games alive.

There are dozens of old PC games with moderately active gaming communities, like CS1.6 and the like. Newer games tend to get “shutdown” and the services are no longer available. Users have to have enough passion for these games to be willing to completely reverse engineer the server backend,

I think the point of this article is to share that games without proper modding support or indefinite “always online” connection checks tend to die, whereas old games that don’t have these features have the opportunity to live “forever” (or as long as there are still people willing to play.)

Yeah those original 3ds cutscenes haven’t aged as well as one would hope lol.

Love the episode. I have mixed feelings on how the battle went down, but ultimately I can’t say it didn’t grip me from beginning to end.

But every time someone gets on their soapbox in the comments it’s like they don’t even know the first thing about the math behind it. Like just figure out what you’re mad about before you start an argument.

The math around it is unimportant, frankly. The issue with AI isn’t about GANN networks alone, it’s about the licensing of the materials used to train a GANN and whether or not companies that used materials to train a GANN had proper ownership rights. Again, like the post I made, there’s an easy argument to make that OpenAI and others never licensed the material they used to train the AI, making the whole model poisoned by copyright theft.

There’s plenty of uses of GANNs that are not problematic. Bespoke solution for predicting the outcomes of certain equations or data science uses that involve rough predictions on publically sourced statistics (or privately owned.) The problem is that these are not the same uses that we call “AI” today – and we’re actually sleeping on much better uses of neural networks by focusing on a pie in the sky AGI nonsense being pushed by companies that are simply pushing highly malicious, copyright infringing products to make a quick buck on the stock market.

See, I’m troubled by that one because it sounds good on paper, but in practice that means that Google and Meta, who can certainly build licenses into their EULAs trivially, would become the only government-sanctioned entities who can train AI. Established corpos were actively lobbying for similar measures early on.

As long as people are paying other people, these things will equalize eventually. Ultimately, it would be much more likely that the cost of AI production would become so severe that it would no longer be viable as a business (which, frankly, is fine. There will eventually be enough public domain content that AI will be at the quality it is today with public materials alone.)
