No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Are you willing to put in an API key and pay money for interactions with an LLM?
It’s not really a one time cost. And I don’t know if devs really want to take on that expense.
Is an API key necessary? Pretty sure there are local LLMs.
They would increase requirements significantly and be generally pretty bad and repetitive. It's going to take some time before that happens.
Would it? Game developers can run anything on their own servers.
That would be crazy expensive for the studios. LLM companies are selling their services at a loss at the moment.
Citation missing, so unconvincing. We're not talking about a general purpose LLM here. Are pretrained, domain-specific LLMs or SLMs "crazy expensive" to run?
"it doesn't have a library already so we dont wanna do it" - basically everyone
games already have pretty extensive requirements for function, one model running for all NPC's wouldn't be that bad i dont think. it would raise ram requirements by maybe a gig or 2 and likely slow down initial loading time as the model has to load in. I'm running a pretty decent model on my home server which does the duties of a personified char and the CT im running ollama on only has 3 gigs allotted to it. And thats not even using the GPU which would speed it up tremendously
I think the bigger problem would be testing wise that would be a royal pain in the butt to manage, having to make a profile/backstory for every char that you want running on the LLM. You would likely need a boilerplate ruleset, and then make a few basic rules to model it after. But the personality would never be the same player to player nor would it be accurate, like for example I can definitly see the model trying to give advice that is impossible for the Player to actually do as it isn't in the games code.
I'd figure that small models could be run locally and even incorporated into the local game code without needing to use a big company's API, if they wanted to.
There are models that can run on raspberry pi. Obviously not the latest and greatest but still useful
The training is much more expensive than the actual usage
