I wonder if the Sony boss still dares to play 2K games now...

Quoting: Purple Library GuyThere are a couple of other things about the ways neurons grow and branch and how the connections can be strengthened or weakened that are probably not comparable to basic computer hardware and also add complexity . . . you could probably simulate that behaviour in software, but that's just showing that it's behaviour that requires much more than one transistor to model.

I cannot remember transistors being compared to neurons. Modern neural networks to have such things though, being weakened and strengthened by the learning process.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyTo get something that's really qualitatively better they will need a different hypothesis.

Here you go: AI needs a childhood. And "parents". It needs to be told, maybe over years, what it is doing right and what it is doing wrong. This is done in parts already, but only by cheap click workers. Nobody wants to pay "real" AI parents.

Quoting: kokoko3kSomething puzzles me.

...because some time ago, when I expressed my concerns about the extensive and almost exclusive use of game engines like Unity and Unreal, the most frequent response was that it was fine because it allowed anyone, even those who didn’t know how to program, to develop games.
The engine takes care of the programming to a certain extent, you add the graphics and audio, and everyone is happy.

Now, the extensive use of AI for image generation seems to be perceived differently, but the principle remains the same: you handle the programming and audio while paying relatively little attention to the graphical aspect, yet... not everyone is happy.

I want to spend my time with something a human has made. I want to somehow "interact" with that human (these humans). I want to consume art, and I don't feel a generation tool can produce something that has earned the term "art" - even if I probably cannot tell the difference in many cases! -, because it cannot "talk" to me about life.

Yes, you could create art with help of AI probably. I'd always search for the mistakes AI makes, spoiling the fun.

BTW, I just played Stray. Wow.

Quoting: InhaleOblivionI still have both the OG Steam controller and the slightly revised one they updated it to. Both still work though I only have one remaining bluetooth doggle that comes with it. Whenever they release the Steam Controller 2, it's a day 1 purchase for me again.

I'm not even aware of a revised Steam Controller? (I guess it's too many years ago. :D )

QuoteOnce it's gone, it's gone. So if you're somehow still on the fence, now might be the best time to get one of the coolest-looking models.

Nothing, ever, is cooler than black.

Not to be missed:
The Pull Request for the real-time integration has been submitted with style - personally, on paper!

Quoting: a0kamiOnce again, shoutout to Valve team for bringing their games on Linux as early as 2013!

So Half-Life is on Linux for more than half of its life!?!

Quoting: KlaasThis has been my biggest disappointment of the week. When I saw the start of the title, I thought that it was a release announcement. I've been waiting for the game for a long time.

For me the biggest pleasant surprise; I hadn't noticed (or plainly forgotten) the original reveal. In fact, I managed to miss the existence of this dev entirely up to now

You're into point and click and missed Wadjet Eye?
1. How did you manage?!?
2. How I am envying you...! X)

I would buy any point and click from Wadjet Eye Games without any additional information, pictures, trailers, anything.

Quoting: PhlebiacI see Bill Tiller has reverted to Autumn Moon, I guess to match the original game. He did "Duke Grabowski" as Venture Moon. I enjoyed it, but it must not have sold very well, as it doesn't have many reviews and now lists at $1.99 (it *was* on the short side).

To be honest, that tones down my exceptions a bit. While Duke Grabowski wasn't bad, it wasn't great either. (Of course worth the ridiculous low price though!)
