He foresaw the sequels, of course he lost the will to live.

So now the AI is not good enough?

They’re that close to an epiphany. Maybe.

I mean, I think I got it as intended the first time. That does sound like a serious health hazard.

It’s either written by a LLM that’s been instructed to drag the little info it had forever, or written by a human that is very convincing at producing robotic, unnaturally articulated text.

Title, summary, first paragraph are basically the same sentence slightly reformulated, and then the rest is going back to every bit of it like a list of bullet points, almost failing to add anything valuable.

I found it painful to parse, and it really does not feel human-like.

Boo hoo, turns out gen AI sucks and becomes way too expensive once the real costs start being passed down to users.

And I mean “start”, because between wild speculation and outright theft of both natural and cultural resources it’s still very far from paying what it owes.

This take on it is especially weird to me because I initially saw the young face, but as soon as I saw the old one it became impossible to see the “ear” as anything but an eye.

I can still kinda see the young face but the ear doesn’t compute anymore. it feels wrong.

Reminds me of that Men in Black joke where K tries to kick an alien’s crotch with no effect, and then is reminded by J that that species has their balls on their chin.

Very little, but I’ve played through Twin Snakes, it certainly doesn’t go anywhere near that length for cut scenes.

Not saying Kojima didn’t enjoy making that, just that there’s a reason nobody is disputing that record.

The most common way to get a Guinness record is to do something so stupid nobody else has done it before and nobody else will try to beat it. I think it applies here.

Also for most people it involves paying a very substantial amount to Guinness. They sell ego trips on one end and books on the other.

I think those are very juicy apricots, so she’s asking for screens, so she can… have an apricot shower in the middle of the restaurant?

Yeah, that one seems like a stretch.

This pic has no right to be this good.

A bad trip on either your shoelaces or heroin might not kill you but still ruin your life until your peaceful death.

Might as well ask why scientists still haven’t invented hyperspace travel yet.

Also, you know who is really invested in having stuff plugged into your brain right now? Musk. Do you want this type of asshole anywhere near your lobes?

We were promised the reign of the basilisk, instead we just get anthropic people whining.

You know, game projects are killed all the time, sometimes for good reasons…

But this was “the Initiative”, Microsoft’s “unlimited resource”, “quadruple A” studio, that was meant to redefine videogame standards no matter the cost. Really, that was what they said back when they announced it. And they shut it down before it could release anything.

They deserve all the ridicule they can get. Also the hate for all the studios they routinely acquire and kill, even when the ones that were actually successful.

Enough with this shit, you’re not being cute, Mistral.

Not pictured : walking the long yet hopefully safer path down the cliff and making your way back up hauling like 100kg of meat.

By the time SC releases in a finished state, its setting will look like fantasy ancient history to the people who might play it.

I mean, they have bird lower bodies.

If they can lure most non-asexual people despite that, they’ve got seduction power that goes well beyond normal sexual attraction.

Unless Greek sailors were really that desperate for hot cloacae.

I agree with the figurative image of the spark to describe something gen AI-produced slop lacks.

Figuratively, because we all know you’re actually being literal and make it about that bullshit you call “soul”. Sorry Christians, this still doesn’t exist.
