Also it's simply just bad to practice being cruel to a humanshaped thing.

Yeah, if you had any awareness about how stupid and unlikeable you're coming across to everybody who crosses your path, I think you would recognise that this is probably not a good maxim to live your life by.
I hope this doesn't distract them from their core VR focus.
Tangentially related, and correct me if I'm wrong because I will never in my life watch a "keynote" or whatever it is, but is it me or does "Liquid Glass" look like an accessibility nightmare?
Trump has 3.5 years left as President, but I will be around for 40+ years …
Elon Musk thinking he's going to make it to 90 and more is even more delusional than the Mars stuff.
John McCarthy's really sounding like a typical libertarian prat.
He concludes that since a computer cannot have the experience of a man, it cannot understand a man. There are three points to be made in reply. First, humans share each other's experiences and those of machines or animals only to a limited extent. In particular, men and women have different experiences.
l.m.f.a.o., we're going there are we now
Looks like shit and it's mostly entirely static because anything with a little more movement would look like complete piss.
Are we talking upscaling DLSS or specifically the frame generation thing that I didn't know existed? The upscaling's alright I think.
I think there is some potential for LLMs in games, in the same way that a game like Façade showed potential for ... being able to create some sort of ... thing. But that would require a little bit of artistic vision and integrity, which obviously AAA studios can't have. I like the idea of games that are about navigating conversation. But I'm not sure you can ever massage a LLM into being in any way compelling—what I've seen of character·ai is pretty ghastly. Maybe only using it as a parser could work? Might as well just be ELIZA.
Anyway, this quote
“It’s very different,” Mosser said. “But for the first time in my life, I can have a conversation with a character I’ve created. I’ve dreamed of that since I was a kid.”
brings to mind a Nabokov quote I think about a lot.
INTERVIEWER:
E. M. Forster speaks of his major characters sometimes taking over and dictating the course of his novels. Has this ever been a problem for you, or are you in complete command?
NABOKOV:
My knowledge of Mr. Forster’s works is limited to one novel, which I dislike; and anyway, it was not he who fathered that trite little whimsy about characters getting out of hand; it is as old as the quills, although of course one sympathizes with his people if they try to wriggle out of that trip to India or wherever he takes them. My characters are galley slaves.
In “Aquarium” by Farah Al Qasimi, a man gazes at his pet cockatoo and fish as he tries to understand their needs with the help of AI.
Okay?

I have never in my life respected copyright and I and the things I like are too marginal to be threatened by Disney so destroying Midjourney counts as a win in my book.
