Good point. I was thinking of enhancing existing capabilities to develop open world games of smaller teams or to buff out a main storyline with "world chatter". This would act as a multiplier for writers to better use the availabl

I hope we will see much bigger universes with intricate and detailed lore where human steers parts of storylines and visuals to make them interesting and fit together but AI fills in the blanks. Gamedev example: If NPCs lines can be generat

Right up until the ad and SEO people get their gritty hands on it. Either Microsoft is successful charging people for it or it's going to become just as infested as Google is right now. Maybe even then. Double dipping is not exactly un

I suspect Microsoft will start Lobbying for protecting the "AI economy" pretty soon if they have not already started. I mean they didn't care about where all that training data came from but that doesn't mean anybody els

Microsoft is betting really hard on AI. Yesterday I noticed that they integrated a link to "chat" into the start/search Menu of windows 11. I would not at all be surprised if they "sampled" large parts of private GH

I feel you and that's without the imminent fear of having to move (back) to a different country.

How so? It seems like masses of people locked out of any economic growth and with no perspective are a recipe for desaster if you ask me. That's the foundation on which unrest and rebellions are built and those are usually not pleasant

I decided that being paralyzed with fear isn't a great strategy so I'm going to subscribe to OpenAI tools for a while and see how they can fit into my workflow. It feels "wrong" on a strangely emotional level but what is

I already decided I've to read it at a time that isn't Monday early morning. It wasn't immediately obvious to me what their conclusions are exactly. I am not dismissing it out of hand (that would be bad science) but a critica

It's unfounded regardless of what you believe will happen. We are still months / years too early to see how transformative exactly GPT based AI opportunities will be. We are clearly beyond the "Neat academic resarch" pha

Some see it as a feature yes, but it's not sustainable. In fact I would say that we are already behind the hay day of wild west crypto and are entering the phase of regulated fiance. Investors are already discovering why some of those

We have a local hackerspace that regularly holds gamedev meetings and once or twice a year holds a weekend long Gamejam. I love those because it's 2 days of challenging yourself to actually finish your project and do something crazy if

They don't need to be profitable since someone else is paying for power, maintenance and hardware. That makes it pure profit (for the scammers)

Could you point to relevant research anyway? I'd be interested and maybe it's possible to "find" it somewhere. This doesn't reflect my personal experience (anecdata I know) or those of any of the people I know. I&#x

Same with me in Germany. A handful of scam/spam calls over last few years and precisely 2 SMS. My parents get some more calls on their landline (~2/month) but I suspect they actually "agreed" to have them from those comp

Regarding your last sentence: that would be a consumer protection agency. There is a private non profit entity (with a "it's complicated" relationship to the government) for consumer protection in my country to which you can

I'm really hopping that waffle will become less relevant as human effort in it decreases.

I don't disagree, but quitting from a position is certainly a sacrifice. I'm certain it happens once in a while when someone has a personal realization and decides to change their life's trajectory fundamentally. Maybe their

It's a pretty useless statement anyway unless you are working in philosophy or a related field. As with any technology the critical questions revolve about it's usefulness, it's limitations and it's risks. Whether it&#x2

I would be very surprised if not. At least some state actors will invest the very negligible money of getting to where gpt-4 is now. It does not need to be cost efficient to train or run. It's total cost is not even near the scope of a

Which wrong by the way. GPT4 is a valuable tool but it's not any form of general AI. It doesn't need to be in order to have a big impact. Whether the current direction of research can take us there, nobody knows yet.

There might be something to this. Sometimes I noticed older people going into tech discussion about things which were super important once but no longer is relevant. Most are able to recognize their nostalgia as such and are willing to acce

Interesting thought which also begs the question whether streaming mixes can be targeted at cheap (in ear) headphones. It would make sense since this is the way most people listen to music these days. Knowing almost nothing about DSP is thi

That may well be but a single for profit company like Microsoft will be a terrible guardian of that. Future OpenAI usage limitations: - anything illegal in the US and your country - anything MS deems immoral and ethically problematic - and

That's a reasonable position to take and probably makes a lot of business sense. Yet it's great to see that there are alternatives emerging as this forces OpenAI/Microsoft to innovate and hopefully limits their ability to hik

Not it isn't but what the OP is saying that with the llama models (and others) being runable on consumer hardware it's only a matter of time until we get something that's "good enough" for many use cases. Maybe not

Can't the federal government simply take the long term t-bills directly and "close" them now at theoretical face value + interest.

How are companies doing which are profitable and are valued mainly on that instead of their "future" growth? (I understand that Big tech is also doing layoffs because they massively overhirred during the pandemic)
