Since this technology is projected to wipe out jobs that tend to generate significant tax income (e.g. I read that plenty of middle management positions might well be on the cutting block within a few years time) I'm pretty sure the law will catch up with them. Lobbying - in my opinion - only goes so far if the very bottom…
Does anybody use anything AI in actual game content production currently? I just wonder because I am trying for quite a while. Ai textures >> total crap. Except very limited number of subjects in Sampler maybe and I still prefer Substance Designer nevertheless . Ai models are a polygon mess . AI lods , no much of a…
I've seen controversies in American voice acting a few times where characters who were PoC were voiced by white people. In recent years, there's been efforts to replace those VAs with people matching the ethnicity of their characters, or at least closer than some random white person. That's not something I really agree…
It's all just a bit tiring, to be honest. I don't look at anything generated by AI and think "oh cool" I just kind of get the same gross feeling you get when you see those mukbang videos or the 4000 calorie desserts made on tiktok - it's fast food for the eyes, just shite pumped out faster than I can take a dump.
For the Live-Generated AI output, you need to hedge the capabilities of those systems, any closed source middleware solution fails flat unless you can easily forward the liability and lawsuits to the AI-producer(s). Depending on were your game is released, you not only need "common sense" on what to avoid but especially…
Yes I read the linked article where James Cameron goes into the design of the Navi and says, "the more alien we make them in the design phase, we just kept asking ourselves — basically, the crude version is: "Well, would you wanna do it?" And our all-male crew of artists would basically say, "Nope, take the gills out." It…
my reading of the cracked article is that they are really stretching to justify the title. The quotes are taken out of context (big surprise). For example his talk about male viewers not being able to control themselves is part of a conversation where he reflects on the male id. So it's not like he is fucking creep getting…
One thing I've noticed is these AI cultists cheer that "you have nothing to fear as long as you don't suck" Trouble is, sucking is a big part of the journey of becoming an artist. If you want to be an artist you have to accept that you will suck for many years. After you stop sucking, you start making beautiful images or…
yes I agree but did you care when grocery baggers were put out of work by automation? Or steel workers? Or farmers? Or when cows were enslaved to live the most miserable existence imaginable only to be food for fat ingrates who by all natural law should have no right to exist? No you only care when it hurts you. So you can…
I suddenly realized that I had a bunch of articles about the sad way the industry is going, as well as intellectual contributions from people far smarter than me; and a community to share them with. This is the article by crackedotcom alum Robert Evans, but if you want to listen to it on his Behind the Bastards podcast…
