  The highly-anticipated sequel to 2017’s indie hit video game Hollow Knight. 2-time winner of “Most Anticipated Game” at the Unity Awards, and 3-time winner of “Most Wanted Game” at the Golden Joystick Awards. The most-wish-listed game on Steam, up until its release today.

  2.5 hours and counting. 🥲

  Sounds like maybe this is the “ranked mode” that rumors were going around about? Thank god, if so, the last thing this game needs is more incentive for players to be competitive against each other.

  Neat concept, it sounds like. They really are just using this game as an excuse to try every new idea they have, aren’t they?

  So, the word floating around is that the studio is using generative AI as part of the animation process for this show. I don’t suppose anyone has details on this? If we’re talking about animators and artist supplementing their own work, that’s quite a bit different than the studio using it, or enforcing use, in an effort to replace or underpay animators. I’d be interested to hear the opinions of the animators themselves, but unless they’re unionized, I can’t imagine we’ll ever hear their opions.

  Upvote for the desktop background.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit will block the Internet Archive⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The company says that AI companies have scraped data from the Wayback Machine, so it’s going to limit what the Wayback Machine can access.

  Yeah, wouldn’t want those AI companies to get all that data for free. Gotta make 'em pay for it.

  Well, yeah. The people who host them for profit should be held liable.

  A) And yet, not long after, Andor blew people’s expectations out of the water.

  B) Then stop making games exclusively based off of third party IPs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta used AI to concoct low-carbon concrete it poured for a datacenter floor⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This appears to be a rare proper use of machine-learning tech.

  No, they did not ask ChatGPT to whip them up a concrete mix. They (in co-operation with engineers) trained a mathematical model specifically for the task of predicting the performance of concrete mixes, in order to narrow down the number of mixes to do (time-intensive) real-world testing on. With a focus on also predicting the carbon-emission impact of the mixes.

  This is the kind of technology we need more of. Not LLM slop.

  Yup.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube is getting rid of its Trending page and Trending Now list⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
  • Always check the Subscriptions page first
  • Check Watch Later list, after that
  • scroll the Home page, after that

  Have never seen a link to a “Trending” page or a “Trending Now” list in any of those spots.

  Sounds loke she found the line for being a fall guy that she wasn’t willing to cross.

  Not that anyone really believed Elon isn’t calling all the shots here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just finished listening to the audiobook of The Martain and got me to thinking.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I re-watched the movie a few months ago, and I had a similar realization: it was quite depressing to see a depiction of NASA that is now entirely lost to us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grok got a Nazi patch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Same concept as how Trump gave no written order for the Jan 6 mob to storm the capitol building, therefore he’s totally not responsible for it.

  Dude, you obviously have never set FOOT on a farm or tractor, in your LIFE. Stop spreading misinformation.

  These are raw marshmallows. Yeah, it’s unbelievable how big they are, but that’s just cause they’re fresh and haven’t dried out yet.
