- Comment on Waymo relies on firefighters and police to bail out stuck robotaxis | TechCrunch 23 hours ago:
Other commenters saw Waymo and instantly turned their brain off.
I cannot think of many situations where a car is broken down/stuck in the way of traffic and police do not help direct traffic out of the way while the vehicle is recovered. In this case, there is no driver so it needs to be moved by someone.
If, like the situation in the article describes, people are being routed the wrong direction, it’s really unlikely that a roadside assistance team operated or contracted by Waymo would be able to get to the vehicle. Who else is supposed to move it?

Totally agree, but I think we’re talking ideal, perfect case here. The llm would need to be really tight so that the things you’re mentioning don’t happen.
Also, there’s simply not an unlimited amount of time and money when it comes to game development. You could write hundreds, even thousands of throwaway lines for minor interactions but that pales in comparison to those things being totally generated on context alone.

People on lemmy usually only ask questions in bad faith, especially when AI is involved in the subject, so I assumed that was the case.
I’m imagining a large RPG in the vein of the Elder Scrolls games where you can walk around a town and engage/be engaged by a random npc who would be capable of reacting to current circumstances fully dynamically. I think it would be fairly interesting if the npc could pick up on various things the player has done or is doing, their gear, or even various world events, and have a fully in character reaction to those things.
For example, Cyberpunk 2077 has some romance options, and you can have some text or in person interactions with the character you choose to romance, and some of the dialogur options do have things that reference recent events in the game. The problem is that there are just a few of those, and the responses they created are fairly generic. It would be pretty neat to see less canned and more dynamic responses and engagement with the character.
I acknowledge that those are pretty minor parts of a game and that LLMs are pretty expensive technology to achieve something very unimportant though. Plus, it would need extremely tight guard rails to ensure the responses stay universe and character oriented rather than whatever hallucination garbage an LLM might come up with.

Clearly you just don’t enjoy games for the same reason people who would like that do.

What’s sad is that games are probably the best use of LLMs. It would make it possible to have NPC idle chatter have a lot more possible responses.
Kind of expensive tech for just random characters yapping though, so we end up having it replace important things that need more attention than throwing it at AI.

If it’s as hard to run as it seems (current model took a dedicated 5090 to run it), then that would be foolish.

Clearly not bud.
You are basing your entire argument (pointed at nothing I ever said) to a bunch of speculative statements about a stage presentation of a beta of a product that isn’t won’t be realed for at least 6 months. Somehow you have managed to ignore the fact that not only are current GPU supplies limited, but many users have graphics cards that can’t even utilize the entire suite of DLSS4 features, but you then state that it won’t be possible to disable DLSS? Your entire bandwagoning stance is entirely based on shit you made up.
On top of that, nowhere have I claimed that an AI filter and mod changes are the same. Simply that they have a similar end result, of which we agree changes the original artists intent. Somehow you the think that the modder/mod installer has their own artistic intent that somehow matters but also that it’s different from someone toggling a feature on or off that results in visual changes. What if the user wants this effect? What if this effect was implemented as a mod? Your entire argument is flawed and it’s pointed against a stance I’m not even taking.
Furthermore, instead of making any sort of actual argument why I should care at all, you went straight to a personal attack. So no, you’re no a human, you’re an idiot.

- Comment on We Spoke To Game Devs And All Of Them Hate DLSS 5: 'What The F***, Nvidia?' 6 days ago:
This seems completely irrelevant to my point. The problem isn’t that it’s against the developer’s artistic intentions, it’s that it looks like shit.
Who cares what the artist intended?

Weird, pedantic emphasis alert.
People have different tastes, and an equalizer is supplemental to both their tastes and individual audio setups. So would visually modifying a game to meet your own taste. Some people just like extra vibrance.

I don’t think the second part of your first statement is correct. There are plenty of games that have modding support and that’s great, but there’s also plenty of types of mods that exist despite a lack of support.
Reshade works with most games, even some with anticheats, for example. To piggyback off your analogy, that’s like using an equalizer to accentuate the bass because that’s what you like the most in music.
Regardless, throwing an Ai filter on top of your game seems like something a modder would come up with (and has), but not in any serious capacity.

It’s astonishing to me that PC gamers are suddenly so focused on the “creative intent” of game visuals.
We’re talking about the crowd who shits on console players because they (usually) cannot install mods for their games. Gamers have been destroying the creative intent of the visuals in games for years with shader mods, changes to models and animations, and adding totally new, completely out of place things.
The DLSS5 examples look like shit, but let’s stop pretending we give a shit about the devs “creative intent” when talking about it.

- Comment on Mother of wounded Maya Gebala sues OpenAI over mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C. 1 week ago:
Would it be valid, then, to say that a search engine is responsible when someone searches how to do a crime?
How about a forum where people talk about the subject, even if they themselves weren’t going to participate in the crimes?
The chatbot is just another avenue to finding information you want to find.
I did read into the article and apparently they’re suing because OpenAI had the account flagged as a potential harm to self or others, but they had already banned the original account. What more do you want them to do? Report them to the thought police?

Skill issue. If you pull the rice early enough and let it steam itself dry, it comes out as good or better than letting the rice just absorb the liquid.

The truth is that you and I are not their customer. The business to business sales are their primary concern, and many companies would be fine forking over a little extra cash for the “AI operating system”.
