I’m probably a masochist, but Alien vs. Predator, despite (and possibly because of) all its technical limitations and like 3 FPS framerate, was genuinely scary and a unique experience.

I also really enjoyed Iron Soldier. You’ve got the original Rayman. Uhhh… Cybermorph was alright.

So five games?

Yup, good eye - we’re at least two election cycles away from that being plausible.

Fortunately, she was just making a fourth-wall-breaking point about gender assumptions in certain professions.

I mean, it’s clear that they’re trying to dissuade people from getting the vaccine. This surgeon general was known at the time he was appointed to be anti-vax: https://www.npr.org/2021/09/22/1039613351/desantis-florida-surgeon-general-vaccine-mandates

“How dare the left accuse us of fascism, they’re the fascists! Now c’mon everyone, let’s conspire to fake vote totals so we can assert authority we didn’t earn.”

Is that text from an AI image interpreter? It’s pretty good, seems helpful for search and disabilities.

Unless you use a Vichyssoise fork. It’s all in the wrist.

That said…A wifi access point that requests that info is almost certainly not private for every other trackable thing you do with that wifi, however.

That’s certainly the point she’s making to avoid giving a direct answer.

Always prompt an AI prompter to be prompt in constructing their prompt…to count fingers.

As far as reasons not to vote for him go, there are plenty more important ones. But it seems to be a thing.

It was heavily talked about for as long as the news cycle could bear it, after Kinzinger made a particularly memorable description: like a combination “of armpits, ketchup and butt.”

Kathy Griffin said she has experience from The Apprentice and he smells “really bad”: https://www.newsweek.com/cnn-adam-kinzinger-donald-trump-odor-x-twitter-1853353

MSNBC’s Alex Wagner says he smells like “cooking oil.” https://www.newsweek.com/alex-wagner-donald-trump-smells-cooking-oil-late-show-1939625

Yeah, I was amazed by Atlas Shrugged too…when I was 14.

This isn’t quite “white whale” territory, but I’ve always wanted to play this game.

I miss the creative, quirky Dreamcast era and this seemed like one of the best, unfortunately region-locked, examples.

This is what we should’ve spent every waking moment doing since 2016. Why do we distract so easily…

I agree about the conservativism, but I’m saying none of these groups are getting what they want. The religious people are advancing a man morally contrary to their stated beliefs. The police are advancing a man legally contrary to their beliefs.

They’re getting something else, it’s fulfilling a psychological need more powerful to them than their foundational beliefs. I’m sure tribalism is part, but this seems more insidious.

It’s another example, along with many other groups, of some base authoritarian or in/out-group mindset superseding all other principles and imperatives.

For evangelicals, the desire for this authoritarian leader supersedes any imperative to act in a moral or biblically-sanctioned way. For conservatives, the desire supersedes their ideological imperatives of supporting law enforcement and being tough on crime. And for this police organization, that desire supersedes both their professional identities and their loyalty to their own officers, who were directly attacked by Trump’s people.

It’s morbidly fascinating. Yes, they have “right-wing” in common, but there is a unique betrayal of core principles happening for each of them. There has to be some common psychological need that Trump supplies to all of these different groups.

But the researchers then dive head-first into wild claims:

GameNGen answers one of the important questions on the road towards a new paradigm for game engines, one where games are automatically generated, similarly to how images and videos are generated by neural models in recent years.

To which the obvious reply is: no it doesn’t, where did you get any of this? You’ve generated three seconds of fake gameplay video where your player shoots something and it shoots back. None of the mechanics of the game work. Nothing other than what’s on-screen can be known to the engine.

Yeah, this was apparent immediately.

Diffusion models are just matrices of positional and temporal probabilities. It is absolutely incompatible with even the simplest demands of a game, since any player will reject a game if it lacks reliable and input-deterministic outcomes. The only way to get that reliability is to create a huge amount of training data, and spend exorbitant resources training on it to the point of harshly over-fitting the model to the data, all of which requires that the team first make the game they’re emulating before they start training. It’s nonsense.

If someone is going to use AI to make a game, they would get exponentially higher ROI using AI to generate code that writes once the relationship between the data, versus inferring the raw data of every individual pixel.

The demo was always effectively a clickbait novelty for likes.

Considering Trump’s track record, it would be strange if he supported something actually likely to succeed.

Say what you want about him, but Needledick has a code.

Sure, when I can, but the issue is I’m in bed for 8 hours and getting 4-5 hours of sleep…
