Now that's what I call a joke.

It just kills me how there is this meme that minecraft is just walking around on a bunch of grass and dirt voxels and if you have that, you have minecraft. It was way, way more complicated than that even 15 years ago.

I tried to word my comment carefully to avoid pedantry, but alas. I don't think everyone agree with your notion that the language and tools of mathematics aren't human inventions.

Math, like any other human endeavor, doesn't exist until someone is motivated to invent it. The laws of the universe aren't understood until someone is motivated to discover them. So it might be worthwhile to not completely ignore

Did y'all reach any consensus on that?

But they're not recreating Minecraft. They're recreating one of the most common tutorials on the internet that shows a simple voxel overworld and nothing else. That's not Minecraft.

My experience online is if you don't show full throated rejection of all things related to AI, you're labeled an AI bro. None of the antis care how you feel. I had my decade old game completely cloned on steam (clearly done using

If you wrote this, apologies. Blame Pangram in having high confidence that most of this is AI, my spidey sense going off because it sounded strongly like AI to me before I checked Pangram, and most importantly my lack of imagination in what

Yea "rarely" is pretty misleading. It makes it seem like it almost never happens when it's just a slightly lower chance (if that's even true).

They look much better. I don't know if it's just my exposure to AI images but the first place one looks so obviously like AI slop.

I'm tired of this "X was never the hard part" meme when in fact X (this time: prototyping) was in fact difficult.

It's similar to any anti face detection art. Probably useless but cool.

You do get more sensitive to bad lifestyle habits in your 30s, but none of those are normal symptoms attributable to "aging" in your 30s. Really weird when people around this age act like they're just on death's doorstop

I still think this is a weird framing overall, but yes I see your quoted line "a height map is" was applying to this article and not generally.

by jere 4mo ago
This is a vague statement. Are you suggesting each column can can have multiple layers of terrain, air, terrain? IIUC, the article disputes this: > Such maps limit the terrain to “one height per position on the map” - Complex geometries

It's pretty common. I would assume any faceless channel is all AI now. Like I saw these fitness videos and I thought the voice was a little too good for AI, especially a year ago. But apparently the TTS models are really good. https:&
