I agree, but maybe it’s time for a Linux based Nintendo DS / PSP sized device? I mean, Nintendo has abandoned these truly pocketable consoles. Maybe with a die shrink they could fit something 70% as performant as a deck into that form Factor?
I personally know a lot of people who miss the DS and don’t game anymore now that the platform was dropped. Casual gamer types.
I might be mistaken, but these Intel based machines might be better for switch emulation, as they share dedicated hw for the particular form of texture decompression they use. One cool potential upside
Haha, okay it’s not that old, but wow does it feel dated in terms of theming. I mean, it’s about three things: cool cop babes, fast subcompact cars, and cool cop babes driving miniature motorcycles which fit inside of subcompact cars.
I’ve been watching this old anime from the 90s called “you’re under arrest.” It’s not exactly smart, but the elaborate, indulgent animation suprises me constantly. It’s shockingly beautiful at times. It trandsends almost anything I’ve watched produced recently in terms of detail.
From what I understand, it’s money. Back in the bubble economy in Japan, you could throw cash at this kind of thing. Now, it’s just so much more cost effective to utilize 3d animation whenever possible.
People point at films like, “The boy and the heron” as some sort of model to follow, as if it’s a choice. But, by the producer’s admission it’s “probably the most expensive anime ever made.” 7 years of production by the oldest, most seasoned veterans in the space. How could even substantial studios take on such risk and expense?
I really wish we lived in a world where low tier stuff like “you’re under arrest” could afford such high quality animation.
However, there are always new tools being developed. I’m confident that new digital techniques will eventually compensate for high cost if nothing else.
It’s really concerning how many comments are snidly dismissive or in some cases outright hostile to this particular peice of reporting.
Does Hamas deny that the hostages were kidnapped or mistreated? Are the circumstances of these particular people’s capture suspect? Are thier experiences disputed?
I see no comments even attempting to say so. It reads as wantonly jingoistic.
Imo, the true fallacy of using AI for journalism or general text, lies not so much in generative AI’s fundamental unreliability, but rather it’s existence as an affordable service.
Why would I want to parse through AI generated text on times.com, when for free, I could speak to some of the most advanced AI on bing.com or openai’s chat GPT or Google bard or a meta product. These, after all, are the back ends that most journalistic or general written content websites are using to generate text.
To be clear, I ask why not cut out the middleman if they’re just serving me AI content.
I use AI products frequently, and I think they have quite a bit of value. However, when I want new accurate information on current developments, or really anything more reliable or deeper than a Wikipedia article, I turn exclusively to human sources.
The only justification a service has for serving me generated AI text, is perhaps the promise that they have a custom trained model with highly specific training data. I can imagine, for example, weather.com developing highly specific specialized AI models which tie into an in-house llm and provide me with up-to-date and accurate weather information. The question I would have in that case would be why am I reading an article rather than just being given access to the llm for a nominal fee? At some point, they are not no longer a regular website, they are a vendor for a in-house AI.
This is bloody hilarious 🤣
It sounds really cool, but I’ve honestly had issues installing it on two PCs now on two separate occasions separated by a couple months. Issues I didn’t have installing Ubuntu. The installer would fail to complete. I’m not a Linux power user, and while I tried debugging for a few hours, I gave up.
Tbh the grail for me would be if it could execute code in a persistent, local, virtualized environment. I’m sure that sort of product will come to Windows, but it can’t come soon enough for me.
I am unimpressed with copilot on Windows 11. Privacy aside, It seems like a web wrapper for Bing ai, which is a performant chat bot, but isn’t anything special when you compare it to openai’s data analytics ai.
It wasn’t able to update PC settings or files, for example. Though, I only had 15 min with it.
I already have an everything app where I can date, do banking, and even use Twitter. It’s called Firefox.
Awesome job! Here is the first image dalle-3 generated of you.
Not overly convincing, but look at those hands!
I’m not anti ai, I use it generative ai all of the time, and I actually come from a family of professional artists myself ( though I am not ). I agree that its a tool which is useful; however, I disagree that it is not destructive or harmful to artist simply because it is most effective in thier hands.
it concentrates the power of creativity into firms which can afford to produce and distribute ai tools. While ai models are getting smaller, there are frequently licensing issues involved (not copywrite, but simply utilizing the tools for profit) in these small models. We have no defined roadmap for the Democratization of these tools, and most signs point towards large compute requirements.
it enables artist to effectively steal the intellectual labor of other artist. Just because you create cool art with it doesn’t mean it’s right for you to scrape a book or portfolio to train your ai. This is purely for practical reasons. Artists today work thier ass of to make the very product ai stands to consolidate and distribute for prennies to the dollar.
you fail to recognize that possibility that I support ai but oppose its content being copywritable purely because firms would immediately utilize this to evade licensing work. Why pay top dollar for a career concept artist’s vision when you can pay a starting liberal arts grad pennies to use Adobe suit to generate images trained in said concept artists?
Yes, that liberal arts grad deserves to get paid, but they also deserve any potential whatsoever of career advancement.
Now imagine instead if new laws required that generative ai license thier inputs in order to sell for profit? Sure, small generative ai would still scrape the Internet to produce art, but it would create a whole new avenue for artist to create and license art. Advanced generative ai may need smaller datasets, and small teams of artist may be able to utilize and license boutique models.
I disagree with this reductionist argument. The article essentially states that because ai generation is the “exploration of latent space,” and photography is also fundamentally the “exploration of latent space,” that they are equivalent.
It disregards the intention of copywriting. The point isn’t to protect the sanctity or spiritual core of art. The purpose is to protect the financial viability of art as a career. It is an acknowledgment that capitalism, if unregulated, would destroy art and make it impossible to pursue.
Ai stands to replace artist in a way which digital and photography never really did. Its not a medium, it is inference. As such, if copywrite was ever good to begin with, it should oppose ai until compromises are made.
Yikes, I wonder if they issued a warning first
My hope is that the mechanization of the written word / artistry will result in such a deludge of low tier nonsense that the people of earth will just stop using the Internet.
Then it can just be me and you ❤️
I’m in the work bathroom so I can’t check, but I think you can crank the haptic settings up on the deck, maybe that might help hold you over.
it might actually be easier to replace the vibration motors in the deck with those for another controller. They could be a standard size, and other motors might fit. It all depends on how the motors are controlled electrically, and whether sufficient power could be sent to the new motors, and if so whether the electrical system can handle it.
Yeah! Hey in this economy, I regret it at times! In the world we live in, there are always trade-offs. No shame in whatever path you take, as long as you don’t vote Republican!
Lol, this is why I left comp engineering to work in a nature preserve
Isn’t this whole thing a bit performative? I mean, dogs aren’t inherently more worthy of liberation from the meat market than any other farm animal.
