Larian pulled out of their contract after Hasbro fired everyone Larian worked with to make BG3.

It isn’t a case of Hasbro going “hey we can trade up” This is Hasbro on damage control going “how the fuck do we follow that up”

Solid mobile game where it was entirely possible to use save editors to modify the amount of paid tokens and lootboxes you had.

Also there were fun tricks you could use to avoid base damage via strategic application of elevators.

Need it to not exponentially degrade when AI content is fed in.

Need creativity to be more than random chance deviations from the statistically average result in a mostly stolen dataset taken from actual humans.

And the single biggest bottleneck is that none of the current AIs “think”.

They. Are. Statistical. Engines.

When I was a kid, it was common for members of parliament to vote freely per their riding with whipped votes being limited to confidence votes.

Now, thanks to Stephen Harper going hard on the precedent set by Jean Chretien, free votes basically don’t exist in parliament.

I dont think so, since with the algorithms a vaguely saavy user can work around them, and it has to wait for the crawlers to run, tag sites and process the tags.

AI streamlines that process.

My 2c:

Control:
By adding rules to AI output, the ruling elite seek to regain what the internet took from them: Information control. Some scandal happens? AI monitoring erases all indication of it, or pushes the narrative in the desired direction.

We have easy evidence of that on the Canada subreddit. Trudeau, for his faults, was unequivocally the single friendliest prime minister to Alberta that the country ever had, considerably more so than the hack that was Harper. But thanks to astroturfing and media control, the conservatives of Alberta see him as one of the worst.

Monetization of big data. The other that I can see is that AI can solve end of the big data issue. Sure, big data has reams and reams of data. But they’ve had trouble processing it and turning it into useful monetizable information/product. Even Google admits that for all of their data on everyone, their clickthrough rates are atrocious. The hope is that AI can sort through those massive data sets and give them the easy data they want.

Ah yes the “its better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission” argument.

Hollywood, from the very start. Its why it is across the US from New York, to get outside of the legal reach of Broadway show companies they stole from.

Stack overflow

Reddit.

Google.

Its only not feasible because it would kill AIs.

Large models have to steal everything from everyone to be baseline viable

They have to pay for every copyrighted material used in the entire models whenever the AI is queried.

They are only allowed to use data that people opt into providing.

You’d theoretically be able to turn one lead atom into two copper atoms and an atom of Maganese based on proton counts

Metal is born from rock, which itself is born from blues and american folk.
Blues itself is born from African-American folk music.

I hope the indie and AA game communities/devs keep moving off of Fandom.

They don’t think. They use statistical models on massive data sets to achieve the statistically average result from the data set.

In order to have increased creativity, you need to increase the likelihood of it randomly inserting things outside that result: hallucinations.

You cannot have a creative “AI” without them with the current fundamental design.

He said atheists go to heaven, provided they are “good people”. Something his handlers tried to immediately walk back.

Within the shithole that is religion, that is pretty damn revolutionary for the leader of a religion to say.

I would argue that, within the scope of the Vatican, he, by himself was maybe as good a person as can exist within an organization at that level.

The trick is that the rest of the machinations and people in the Vatican are absolutely not good people and they clearly worked to “reign him in” (to their views) as his health worsened.

A note that they did not resurrect the dire wolf.

Their marketing department says they did.

What they did was create a new subspecies of grey wolf that outwardly resembles a Dire wolf.

The two species diverged between 2.5 and 6 million years ago.

Six million years ago we were orangutan like apes living in trees and Chimps/Bonobos were too. 2.5 million our ancestors were Homo Habilis.

And simultaneously 8.5 meters, 8.7 nanometers, 9.57m and 8.48m wide.

Its why Carney is so popular in Canada.

He hasnt attacked Poilievre. When asked he comes out with well reasoned and thought out plans.

E.G. instead of just “cutting red tape” to aid housing construction, which results in shit quality and developers timing completion to optimize prices; his plan is to directly get the government to build homes like it did in the 1950s and 1960s. This would also help get people into and trained in the trades, another of his promises.

Also, government employing directly will always be more efficient than contracting out. Because the contracting firms charge 5-10x per employee what the employee makes. For a western salary.
