Why reference the imperfect copies gen AI makes when you have databases of the real original artists and pictures and 3d scans of real things in the world out there to reference.
I think it is because one of these approaches requires skill and time, the other requires a ChatGPT subscription and George Jetson to push one idiotic button.
It makes people feel that they can contribute in fields where they were previously (and still are) useless.
Pandora’s box is open and will never close again.
Yes…but this Pandora’s box just had a fart in it.
We know we can’t put the fart back in the box.
We just want people to stop acting like it is about to revolutionize modern cinema.
All it is going to do is clear the room.
Even if you get past the technical reasons of why this won’t work well, artistically, your avatar will clash with any game that’s not targeting these avatars.
You would think so, but my Mii fits in perfectly.
(Uh, hopefully it’s obvious that I’m bullshitting. I can’t believe how stupid Mii looked in various Nintendo games. It takes a special kind of leadership at Netflix not to have learned from Nintendo’s… experience.)
But they’re too late! I’m too entrenched in the Nintendo ecosystem, with my perfectly formed Mii that I demand to play as in a variety of games.
If only they had thought of this sooner!
Ohhhh… It took me (checks post age) seven hours to get it.
A woman once told me she worked in a club and when one of the regulars passed away, a bunch of them went to his funeral.
There’s certainly worse legacies one could leave, than having spread some wealth around while presumably having been respectful enough to be missed.
How dare you compare this popular almost plot free slugfest to that… Other…popular almost plot free slugfest!
Edit: Of course, I’m joking. And I am vaguely aware that both franchises have some kind of plot now.
Still, I think it’s funny you got downvoted for making the obvious comparison. We either have one die hard fan in here, or someone with fat fingers meant to upvote you and misclicked.
I hope so. That game made the rest of the stupidity of adapting a plot free game into a pointless movie worth it. Because we got a game out of it.
Nice! Thanks for sharing this analysis.
I thought our primary way of producing new Linux users was sexual reproduction and then indoctrination from birth…
Interesting. I would have guessed that Mint gave ChromeOS a run for it’s money, by now.
Yes. By the porn stats, Linux already crushes ChromeOs. Let’s not take any advice from it.
I’m not sure Grandma and Grandpa would want a steam machine as a replacement for their aging Windows 7 home computer.
Fair. But for my gram, it would have been a slam dunk day one buy. She loved her playstation and only tolerated her PC. She would have called a Steam Machine “my game console that can check email” and would have adored it.
It absolutely delay people buying. If you held out for 6 more months, you’d get a substantially faster computer.
That describes most of my life, under Moore’s Law.
I handled it in the traditional way: I bought what I wanted, and then I immediately cussed about my shitty timing to my friends the next day.
It’s not like cars would eventually cost negative money and they pay you to take them.
While I accept your point, I feel conditioned to interrupt here and clarify that I absolutely would download a car. There was some unexpected confusion about this, at one point.
Okay. Carry on. Thank you.
“Enterprises might discover that production agent deployments are harder than demos suggest. Hallucinations in high-stakes workflows, regulatory concerns around autonomous AI systems, or implementation complexity could slow adoption dramatically. If the agent future takes 5-7 years instead of 2-3, there’s a painful gap where billions in infrastructure sits waiting for demand to catch up.”
Yes. AI agents in infrastructure are a fundamentally stupid idea, at their very core.
Learn to write a bash script or pay someone competent to do it.
Almost no one needs a shittier solution that is 1000x faster to implement while 100x more likely to make profit-margin-evaporating mistakes.
Even the idiots calling the shots today are bound to notice this.
There’s a third category of adoption to consider: “between 7 years and - let’s not fucking do this, it is stupid”
There’s a delightful DC Comics Elseworlds story that amounts to this. It was fun.
Sure you harpsichord! Anyone harpsichord do it!
I’ll see your alternate timeline and raise you the canon timeline where Paris and Janeway abandon their salamander babies.
Hang on, I’m seeing a pattern, here…
