I agree with every word Zelda Williams says. And this at the end from OpenAI makes me want to go full Ned Ludd. Creators can’t have a blanket opt-out on copyright infringement of their work and have to fill out a form appealing to OpenAI’s mercy every time? Fuck off into the sun

I absolutely reject a world where the dead remain among us in the form of AI clones that could multiply across all connected media. Not only do I find it indecent, but what about mourning? It's so important to be able to grieve. We've all been there.

This is pure sci-fi dystopia. πŸ‘Ž

Sad to hear about the passing of the Michelangelo of Movie posters, RENATO CASARO. The Man painted so many iconic posters, specially in the 70s/80s: CONAN, TERMINATOR, DUNE, TOTAL RECALL, DANCE WITH THE WOLVES, BLOW OUT, FLASH GORDON, RAMBO, NEVER-ENDING STORY, and the list goes on and on. 1/2

Werner Herzog gazed upon the "empty and soulless" abyss of AI-generated movies Werner Herzog gazed upon the "empty and soulless" abyss of AI-generated movies

β€œI have seen movies, short films, completely created by artificial intelligence,” Herzog said. β€œStory and acting and everything, they look completely dead. There are stories, but they have no soul. They are empty and soulless.”

Get their ass, Werner.

Roger that. I agree with Ian's point on giving the player control..

With that approach, trick is telegraphing the controls to the player without taking away agency IMO

Ultima: Serpent Isle Retrospective | End of the Good Old Days
YouTube video by Majuular Ultima: Serpent Isle Retrospective | End of the Good Old Days

Clear my calendar, new Majuular on Ultima VII Part 2 Serpent Isle is out, holy shit it's good.

..Brain fart: SI felt like the first major attempt at a combo of rpg genres to me when I first played it - much more than just 'western' + 'jrpg'... That structure's everywhere now

I know there's a lot of jank in this, but I wanted to get some feedback on this version of the Ultima VII intro. Do the angle changes work? Or should the angle be static the whole time?

What's the intention of the angle changes/rotation for the intro per se?

At face value, does showing 'authored' different angles on the intro set a perhaps unintended expectation? (ie does it say 'this project adds a cinematic/narrative layer to key U7 scenes', which I don't think is the intention)

i keep seeing people say that LLMs are good at search.

NO. WRONG.

You have just forgotten how good search used to be.

Google broke it's own flagship product, and so you are accepting a demented chatbot's half baked gishgallop because we no longer have functional web search.

"AI is coming, its inevitable" no its not you sniveling weirdo. how are those 3D TVs going. how are NFT markets looking these days. Seen anything cool in the metaverse lately?

anyone who says we need to resign to using it, that itll be here whether we like it or not, is a feckless dipshit.
