Nvidia went from making 40% of its revenue from datacenters and AI to to 80% within the last 2 years. I don't really trust their vision if they are just seeing green.
The AI apologist brother has some deep seated issues with his artist brother. I'm thinking only one was breast fed, the other got an iv drip. Jensen is a delusion sales guy. People on linkedin were comparing his presentation with Steve Jobs, but the robots in the background were a digital billboard. I thought they would…
Everyone understandds the "first they came ..." formula. I am simply pointing out the absurdity of it because 1/ it is of extremely bad taste and 2/ it doesn't apply here. It's perfectly possible to make clear points without resorting to "yOu wOuLdN't sTeAl a cAr" kind of arguments.
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…
The hypothesis I was working towards was that this tech or rather a more consistent perfected ethical version could become the closest to a star trek like holodeck. Anyone regardless of their race or ethnicity can portray anybody. The focus then would be on telling stories and being creative. Aleast that's what the more…
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…
aprats91 sed: In my opinion, for these technologies to be truly useful for us, they need to give us total control over the outcome, and this is impossible to achieve just by writing prompts. Yep it's been done: If you go to youtube you will find tutorials that show you pieces of software you can use to pose a figure. Very…
ok - three points: 1: I proposed regulation of the datasets used, not the tools - this sort of licensing is already covered by law. 2: I dont necessarily agree that copyright laws cover this use case sufficiently but I do believe it would be relatively trivial to close a few loopholes - Pior may be onto something with…
Really, I've been thinking about the subject for a few days now, and I'm not sure whether to see this technology as an ally or as the nemesis of the artistic industry. What I do know is that currently, as it's presented, I only perceive it as a money-making machine for the companies behind it. I see it more as an…
I can provide more insight on this business model, since I was with EA during its development. So for a game like FC 24 or rather the entirely of EA sports as a model, the whole development process is based on asset automation, clean up, revision and curation. EA works heavily with outsourcers and asset repurposing is…
