I was pretty surprised by the barrenness of my wishlist. There’s been shockingly few titles I’ve been that excited about. Almost nothing in the AAA realm. And the few things that I am waiting to come out have been on that list for several years already…

Most AI are not built to answer questions. They’re designed to act as some kind of detection/filter heuristic to identify specific things about an input that leads to a desired output.

If you can still use it after you stole it, as opposed to not being able to use it at all… Then it does give you an incentive

It wouldn’t be. It would still work. It just wouldn’t be exclusively available to the group that created it-any competitive advantage is lost.

But all of this ignores the real issue - you’re not really punishing the use of unauthorized data. Those who owned that data are still harmed by this.

Making it open source doesn’t change how it works. It doesn’t need the data after it’s been trained. Most of these AIs are just figuring out patterns to look for in the new data it comes across.

Yes, you’re all doing it wrong…by doing it at all.

What deadlines? Squadron 42 was supposed to release in 2016…

That ship has sailed.

Should we tell him, guys?..

Did we already forget that BG3 existed like once year later…?

I just think we shouldn’t shield these evil people by pretending it’s “the business” doing it. It’s humans. Really really shitty humans, but they made the decision to do this to a kid, on camera, thinking it wouldn’t immediately backfire in this age of social media.

So not only are they assholes, but also fucking stupid.

Nah. There was a meeting of actual humans who got together and decided to trick a child hoping no one would notice. Said meeting likely cost more than the said console did in salaries, too.

So… if it has robots and space and cloning, its science fiction and if it doesn’t it’s not?

At no point did I say this. Even remotely.

You can’t just inverse something I said and assume it’s still equivalent. You’d think someone this passionate about reading would have a higher level of comprehension…

There was no point in me reading past this pathetic strawman. Hope you enjoyed writing that pointless essay.

Everyone? No.

Anyone? Maybe.

No. Not being destitute doesn’t automatically make you rich. Things are not black and white. There’s a wide spectrum that is very flat until you get to the top 0.1%.

Bring in the top 10% doesn’t mean much when the different between top 99 and top 90 is multiple orders of magnitude larger than top 90 to top 10.

Sorry, no. Genre doesn’t require a specific theme. This is some literature vs pulp gatekeeping.

Are old retirees rich, then? I wouldn’t consider that accurate.

If you’re not pulling in upper 6 figures from those investments, you’re still not rich.

Aliens, Mech suits and remotely controlled vat-grown body doubles aren’t enough to make it sci Fi?

Tbf, the air on Pandora is toxic to humans. That was the entire point of using the avatars in the first movie… Wouldn’t exactly call that suitable for sustaining the life of our species

And that material they found in the planet was some fictional things humans had never encountered before.

That was not a subtle theme…

These people didn’t play Witcher 3. It’s mostly right wing rage bait podcasts. They’ll move on to a different side thing to be mad about in a few days.
