Presumably because these system prompt “limitations” are not given to government contracts, and training it into the model gets increasingly expensive the more versions you have to maintain.

Virtually free, clean, decentralized energy is a far greater advantage than any of those disadvantages. It’s a strategic failure for the US to pass up on China’s solar overproduction and subsidization. As the saying goes, don’t interrupt yo

Time to rebrand to CurXor?

What’s killing me is that the vernacular is creeping into my coworkers’ speech patterns too.

We have AI sculpting and animating in the same way that we have AI illustrations - it’s better than the average human but miles and miles away from a professional artist. Most of the feel of a game requires intentional and consistent artist

Usually FBX, USD, or GLTF files, if you’re in the gaming industry. AI models rarely do well there because deliberate topology matters for optimization and animation.

A good auto retopologizer (AI or not) would be one of the greatest possible innovations in 3D. Add to that better unwrapping and rigging, and you’ve eliminated most of the mechanical grunt work in 3D, leaving the truly important sculpting a

Presumably it’s easier to iterate upon and judge solely on its own merits when it’s a standalone application. Maybe this isn’t optimized for user comfort, but for efficient product exploration (for now).

“I won at Russian Roulette therefore it’s a safe game” isn’t really a good argument. If Claude is within your risk profile, that doesn’t mean it’s a good fit everyone else.

One problem I’ve found is that AI will happily document the most trivial of implementation details as *immutable product design*, making it very poor at automated cleanup. I have to constantly coax it saying “WHY are we doing that? That’s n

I’d buy a Slate above this even if the Ford was cheaper, specifically for those same reasons.

The US sure seems to be speedrunning the collapse though.

Not just words, you’re massively multimodal! Have a little pride in your MeatNet.

Presumably the concern is that the profits are not fairly distributed among the people in that company - instead corporations are usually a mechanism for wealth accumulation.

Yeeeah, if the test on this site can’t say anything better than “it was created by a member of Mensa”, I’m gonna have to assume it’s a generally useless test.

Claude using documentation and comments as its personal diary is one of the most infuriating behaviors it exhibits. Half the time it’ll record some temporary implementation quirk, which later sessions interpret as infallible product design

I find them irritating because they will link a source entirely unrelated to (or worse, directly contradicting) the fact they are claiming. The Google AI summaries might be the most blatantly hallucinating model widely deployed right now. I

Let’s give Claude and ChatGPT each an identical Linux box and 8 hours to prepare, then connect their networks together. Last bot standing wins.

What these games need is a good old-fashioned Aperture Science Material Emancipation Grill. (Though I guess in the context of these games, that would be considered new-fangled.)

Except prompts aren’t deterministic, source code is.

I have a vivid recollection of a crotchety old man in Southern California telling me “yup, this is earthquake weather” on a hot, clear day. (There wasn’t an earthquake that day.) It was so bizarre and disconnected from science that it was b

Defense doesn’t get DOGE’d, only programs that build up communities do. There’s always budget for more destruction.

And all of those arguments are entirely academic, and subject to change depending on economic status, skin color, or nationality. Law is effectively a weak gentleman’s agreement we tolerate because the alternative is violence. (Well, law is

Bad news, humans write silly things all the time. If anything, LLMs are less likely to make awkward phrasings than people, because they aren’t found in the training data very often.

Presumably in a video game the majority of the screen changes every frame. Not so in web pages.

The very existence of a “do anything” tool causes humans to forgo learning the multitude of tools we already have. I suspect there will be no next generation of software engineers.

I think the criticism is not “we need to have better hardware that will shrink over time”, it’s “our algorithms are hilariously inefficient, and nature shows that a better way must exist”. Maybe there’s also a hardware component to it, but

Survivorship bias. Not disagreeing with you that these are unwatchable, but it’s a little rose-tinted to think that (non-AI) slop didn’t exist a long time ago.
