Tbh, they cancelled the prince of Persia remake. I don’t think we know what the other games were. I know it’s a popular franchise but I hate remakes, they always end up being a cash grab. Open world is kind of their bread and butter but it’s been mostly shit, so if they focus on the quality aspect, it might turn it around.

I don’t really dig live service but r6 siege was one so maybe we can get another gem or two like it.

The markets probably didn’t like all the cancelled games in the pipeline but a reset is probably for the best. Their main franchises have gotten steadily worst. I used to look forward to their games, now I don’t even buy them on special.

In his June ruling, Judge Alsup agreed with Anthropic’s argument, stating the company’s use of books by the plaintiffs to train their AI model was acceptable.

“The training use was a fair use,” he wrote. “The use of the books at issue to train Claude and its precursors was exceedingly transformative.”

However, the judge ruled that Anthropic’s use of millions of pirated books to build its models – books that websites such as Library Genesis (LibGen) and Pirate Library Mirror (PiLiMi) copied without getting the authors’ consent or giving them compensation – was not.

Pirating isn’t but training on copyrighted works is fair use, you just have to buy them.

Lora communication is line of sight. You would still need quite a few people working together. FSO is harder to intercept but I don’t really know how complicated it is to set up or it’s range.

We could have real regulations if most gamers weren’t busy being bootlicking fanboys. Stop defending billionaires and their money extracting machines, they actively hate you.

It’s a good thing if you are smart enough to understand that AI isn’t going away. Universal bought udio, the “legal” variant of the dataset will be used to train models, only they will be closed source, censored and come with a ToS that gives all the rights from the generated music to the record companies from the get go.

At least this gives open source a chance.

I’d suggest taking a look at what roll20 has to offer if you want to play virtually with your friends.

If the rasp Pi is too much (per your other comment), you might have fun with a few esp32s and some basic sensors if you want to get into the embedded electronic space. The entry price is lower then the rasp.

What are your hobbies?

I have a backlog of games to get to so I’ll let other have the chance, just wanted to give you a thumbs up! Awesome idea! I’m sending all my spare goodluck I have your way.

It’s beside the point. I’m simply saying that AI will improve in the next year. The cost to do so or all the others things that money could be spent on doesn’t matter when it’s clearly going to be spent on AI. I’m not in charge of monetary policies anywhere, I have no say in the matter. I’m just pushing back on the fantasies. I’m hoping the open source scene survives so we don’t end up in some ugly dystopia where all AI is controlled by a handful of companies.

The cost of the improvement doesn’t change the fact that it’s happening. I guess we could all play pretend instead if it makes you feel better about it. Don’t worry bro, the models are getting dumber!

They are improving, and probably faster then junior devs. The models we had had 2 years ago would struggle with a simple black jack app. I don’t think the ceiling has been hit.

It’s not accelerating the trend one bit by opening it to everyone. Music labels and Spotify don’t plan on putting a stop to AI, they want to own it. The artists lost decades ago and siding with copyright juggernauts doesn’t help anyone but the copyright juggernauts.

It hurts record companies. They want to own all AI generated music. It’s quite clear with what happened to udio. It’s monopolies against open source, not AI against artists.

You joke but they threatened to call the cops on me after the sixth call or so.

More education is always a good thing. Diplomas are probably a requirement for high end luxury shops that pay better. I had a friend who worked in a Ferrari dealership as a mechanic, he made good money.

You can look up average starting salaries online coming out with different diplomas and compare them. Trade schools will have the info usually somewhere on their website. Might give you a better idea.

Another quick tidbit but it’s a good time to ask yourself if you want to work on cars badly enough that you are willing to drive a shit car to do it. There are much much better salaries in aviation for essentially the same type of jobs. It’s better to be working on planes for a living so you can afford to work on cars as a hobby.

Transformers, turok and mecha Godzilla come to mind. Not post apocalyptic per say but saying Sony owns robo dinos in a post apocalyptic future sounds fool hardy.

This is in no way good for us, the consumers. If it was Nintendo doing it, everyone be would be livid.

I’ve played a lot of good games that were blatant ripoffs. Companies shouldn’t own concepts, fuck Sony.

I’d give it less credence if it wasn’t for Altman trying to buy the wafers themselves.

I think they panicked when China and Meta started releasing multi million models for free. Stifling hardware is the only way they can recoup their investments.

Certain companies are buying up all the stock because it stops individuals from building their own AI capable rig and forces them and businesses into subscription models.

They are using copyright laws in the same way and lobbying so building new models legally costs millions of dollars and open sourcing stops being viable.

The biggest threat to the AI bubble is people running the same services out of their home with open source alternatives for a fraction of the price.

I just think the big players aren’t touching personal blogs or social media anymore and only use specific vetted sources, or have other strategies in place to counter it. Anthropic is the one that told everyone how to do it, I can’t imagine them doing that if it could affect them.
