I've been wondering about something: (I only know the basics of AI, this might be kinda incoherent) Right now if you look at GTP-3's output it seems like it's approaching a convincing approximation of a bluffing college stude

The most interesting part of this is how it works, which this article is kinda light on. It uses the "wave function collapse" procedural generation technique (has been on the frontpage before if I recall correctly) to select fit

It's a really fun feeling when you notice that someone posted something because they read the same thing you read and it sparked a similar association. There are probably already manipulation techniques in play where an actor 'pla

Yeah I'm in the same situation, my dream is to become an independent game developer, but that is super risky and I only have a small buffer. Currently, avoiding homelessness > following dreams. God, I wish basic income was a thing.
