a question: In a world where the training data used for these models was ethically sourced* would there still be a problem? * you don't need to dispute whether it's possible or not, just work on that premise
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…
I also feel its the heavy marketing investment which cuts into development costs. Development is usually kept behind closed doors citing competition concerns, and most games marketing is focused on release sales, which is usually when games make their money. Live service seems to be a good work around since it keeps…
Well, apparently tons of VFX artists are out of work these days. Surely there will be at least some among them willing to pick up 'prompting' and combine that with their existing skillset. From then on it's going to be more about lack of functionality in the toolset, I suppose. So the verdict in this writeup seems a bit…
See this is what really perplexes me about this. LLM's are the tools we've been waiting for for designing interraction with NPCs in a game. Responses that conform to anything your character says! Realistic reactions when the player inevitably harrasses someone! "Oh, that character was going to give you the item you need…
Same here - when I saw that email I couldn't help but wonder about the side effects this might have for their content makers (if it works as advertised). Don't DAZ have a huge marketplace where the users have to buy basically every single item to kit out the default character models? To me this looks like it would eat…
I shouldn't have said it as "over" permanent employment in a studio space. Was wrong there. I meant more like it should be given as a middle ground option for creatives that more flexible in their employment. But its going to be a tricky balance. The public face of many AAA companies is that they are growing and…
there are plenty positions being phased out for ai operators despite the fact that this is all legally not settled yet.sure it might not be as visible in AAA but in "lower tier" productions it is indeed a thing already. people switching to cleaning AI shit instead of creating stuff themselves, because they can just push…
I'm not sure if we'll see more innovation in the AAA space given how risk averse they've been off late. I am intriguied by the recent controversies we have going around, lot of entertaining content which actually motivates writing. Also with so many out of work its much easier to network, reachout and improve enagement on…
I get the feeling this applies to the whole thing, really. It's why it's incredibly stupid when AI bros try to claim that these AI learn just like humans, as an excuse to try and suggest that artists learning from other artists is accepted, and therefore taking artists' work without consent to train AI should be. Even if…
