It’s like the skievier part of DoorDash listings, where they’d list restaurants that weren’t on the platform, make deliveries for them and send angry customers to them when DoorDash fucked it up.

It might work for a bit but it’s gonna fizzle out if they decide to overcharge for popcorn and coke to the point it costs $100+ to watch one video game.

In theory yes.

In practice I find the more stuff like this you throw at it the more rope it has to hang itself with. And you spend so much time prompt adjusting so it doesn’t do the wrong things that you were better off just doing half of the tasks yourself.

The Clair Obscur race sounds fascinating. I’m a sucker for speed run races.

Wasn’t trying to imply it wasn’t. My bad.

Glad I’m not the only one that thought this was an AI comic.

EDIT: and had that thought confirmed.

The problem with Rowling is she has a massive influence over the space.

It’s not like some random black metal artist who lives in a cabin that no one’s heard of. She’s quite literally a billionaire from this franchise and spends a ton of that wealth lobbying against Trans people.

Quite literally the profits from Harry Potter are going towards hate.

I’m sad Howard’s legacy sold so well.

Also Cyberpunk sold better than I expected given the launch.

I’m assuming they didn’t bundle Nightreign sales in this?

Yeah the choice of using Wylder here was sloppy

I’ve been learning a lot of Godot myself. Don’t know if that’s still popular but it was gaining traction after the Unity license fiasco.

But I like HDR support…

My favorite example of this is watching people try and generate AI images of Sharpedo, only to have them all have tails because the AI can’t comprehend a shark without a tail.

I have a feeling that’ll shift in the next few years.

When things are great, everyone is hiring and the money is flowing a union doesn’t seem necessary. But that’s drying up now and it’s looking to be worse than the dot com crash. That’s when BS starts to come from companies and the anti union people aren’t gonna get the same paychecks and perks they used to.

All day every day.

Same. Refuse to use NVIDIA going forward for anything.

Is there a good review on it? I heard it was a gen ai fest but wasn’t sure if there was other stuff.

Didn’t watch but is this the “code doesn’t matter as long as you’re fulfilling customer requirements” take?

Because while there’s a nugget of truth to that (a desired app will always beat a well engineered app that doesn’t do what people want it to) you’ll hit a point where you stall out and can’t build more features and fulfill requirements because of the decisions (or lack thereof) you made before. It’s not an excuse to just throw caution to the wind and make boneheaded decisions.

It’s something that loser vibecoders on LinkedIn all learn the hard way after you get out of the “toy” phase of development.

How is the argument null?

The major rub of Gen AI art is profiting off of others work. If you’re never displaying it and don’t ever want it shown then who cares?

I don’t know the red tape around them purchasing packs. They also may not have wanted to do that if they wanted to check for a specific aesthetic. I don’t know and quite frankly I don’t think this is the hill to die on for Gen AI usage.

I’d rather fight the slop or production use of it vs stuff that will never see the light of day.

But, why for placeholders that aren’t meant for anything? No one will ever see these (intentionally).

I’m very anti AI in games for art but this feels like an arbitrary line in the sand for “support artists”. This feels like the stupid busywork that AI can alleviate. If there’s a large market for placeholder stuff maybe but most of the stuff in stores you’re paying to ship in production normally.

Why purchase stock things that may not be the dimensions you need or need tweaking to make work when you can just have something craft a placeholder?

But these aren’t textures that are intended for use. They’re filler for development purposes.

It’s like putting a gray box in and fixing it later or putting a TODO in code.
