I think you have it in reverse, it's pure soul but very little game. It's just like Noctis IV, an interactive piece of art. This one has more pretense to looking like a game with its crafting system and survival mechanics that you

I think it's less obtuse to make the point that there are social-prejudicial structures encoded in the latent space. "associative pattern seeking logics" is a bit incoherent, and distributional semantics doesn't live at

Even that doesn't cover it. Vaishnavism, though the most popular branch, is only one Hindu denomination. Shaktism and Shaivism don't give Vishnu the preeminant status he's given in Vaishnavism. "Hinduism" at this po

And neither can be made as ergonomic as no verification at all. It's all about how much you need. Functional verification isn't an appropriate tool where a single bug is catastrophic. > yet nothing prevents you or your agent fr

Yeah I dislike it. Why are we babyducking sepples attributes? And what I assume to be namespace accessors? Why are logical assertions enclosed in backticks? I "get it", because it's actually kind of difficult to make a backwa

I understand what you're saying and I agree, ostensibly, but on the caveat that it's hinged on the "we don't know what we don't know" aspect of reality. If we restrict our domain to what's forseeable, it&#

Black Magic Design's primary business is selling cinematography hardware. Anyways, those ~200 prompts are going to cost you more money than a license once you factor in the cost of your own time. Value proposition of AI still ain'

I think you're right on that point of contention, it's too far to assert a universal and clear good/bad dynamic here because that line between developer/user is contextual and fuzzy. Another interesting irony I'll n

You're a bit late on that, monitors without all the same features are going the way of the dodo. Smart features are even starting to crop up in the commercial display market. Your last vestige will be buying a panel without a controlle

The problem is that ownership is itself a legal fiction, so it's kind of necessarily legalese. It's interchangeable with "legitimate control" in common parlance. IE if I break into your house and throw you out of it, I d

You could sidestep it by running non-permissibly licensed training data that you purchased through an LLM. Legal attitude so far seems to be that this is transformative as long as it's not 1:1. The question on whether or not the end re

To be clear, you never owned the games, you own the disk that contains the games. The right they are reserving is to revoke your legal access to the games you're licensing. They can't repossess the disk, but they can deny you the

You think that giant employers being protected, especially when they align themselves with government interests of the day, is a conspiracy? Do you also think that suggesting economic producer interests are a high priority is a conspiracy?

Baseline yeah. But part of the reason you run open models is how much nicer fine tuning them is. Granted, you probably don't want to try and make LoRAs on a 4x RTX6000 setup, but you could if you really wanted to and there are other wa

That's not even remotely close to being true, even once you account for capex. You have to look at the actual usage, look at the token limits. Even if you're paying Anthropic $200k/month for scale-tier, you're going to b

I can't speak on the Steam version, but the UI was perfectly fine in the ASCII version. The worst thing that I remember was how things were categorized. IE it was something like (b)uildings, (q)ueries, (d)esignations and whatever (i) w

I would pose that's a matter of holding it wrong. Like, integrating generative AI as a prompt to an API endpoint exposed to the user is one of the worst, most naive and bland ways to use it as a game subsystem that I can think of. Don&

Weak "chain-of-thought" abilities, high error rates and a very bad ability to recover from errors. If they produce a non-sequitur somewhere (which they are highly prone to doing), that global refinement spreads it everywhere like

But can't sustain itself. The larger it is, the larger the diffuse buffer it needs to support itself, and this diffuse buffer naturally spreads out as well. It's the natural flow of things to do so.
