it's like what if complex numbers were integers instead of reals

two "trig" functions that are basically just triangle waves so that integer values yield valid cardinal directions qturn cosine/sine looking like a low poly indie game situation

I was gonna include mexican gamedevs, chinese gamedevs, greek gamedevs, japanese gamedevs, spanish gamedevs, indian gamedevs, thai gamedevs, french gamedevs, and vietnamese gamedevs, but it was funnier to just leave the italian gamedevs

so, while this is genuinely good news, I'm not a fan of justifications like this

he's effectively implying they'd switch back to AI voiceovers the moment they're of the same quality/fidelity as human voice actors, and I get the sense he'd consider this a good thing, because productivity

the AI now found the right answer when I asked if the right answer was the right answer by asking "what about a HDD", identifying 7200 RPM drives as a common source of 120 Hz hums

me: what about a HDD

chatgpt: Absolutely. This is almost certainly a mechanical vibration from a drive. Here's why

me writing "I'm getting a 121 hz hum from my computer, what is the likely cause?", and then the AI is writing a slop essay about 50Hz power supply frequencies saying it's definitely not a mechanical vibration just more AI slop it's not worth our time

had this super annoying 121 Hz hum coming from my computer. I eventually figured out it was my HDD

i was curious if chatgpt would suggest it as the source, and it wrote a whole ass essay about electrical mains and how it's almost certainly "not a fan or a mechanical vibration"

it's been interesting talking to mathematicians these past few days

their standard tools for more advanced calculations are pretty different from those we're used to in game dev, because our tools are often restricted under performance constraints, like, solving things in less than 1 ms

If someone puts a different label over a cheap bottle of wine to change its perceived value, we call that scamming.

Why do we not call it scamming when people put their own personal name (or a fake name) as the author on AI generated text/visuals/...?
