I mean… they didn’t specify it had to be random (or even uniform)? But yeah, it’s a good showcase of how GPT acquired the same biases as people, from people…

The Problem With Jon Stewart had much more biting commentary, and you could see that he and his writers had much more creative control to speak their mind. The Daily Show just doesn’t have the same bite, or the same wit, or the same strength of conviction.

No state, no country, fake town, fake street, fake account, fake website. Fuck off.

It might be a hot take but I think the bgm is actually the weakest part of the game. Feels too repetitive and too short, like Mementos in Persona 5. I legitimately play on mute and put something else on in the background.

Easiest block of my life.

The hype is real. There’s no microtransactions, no multiplayer, it’s just about building the best deck with as many synergies as possible and getting the highest score you can. If you played Magic or even Inscryption, you’ll feel right at home.

The author does have a way with words lol. I love this paragraph in particular, emphasis mine:

As we speak, the battle that platforms are fighting is against generative spam, a cartoonish and obvious threat of outright nonsense, meaningless chum that can and should (and likely will) be stopped. In the process, they’re failing to see that this isn’t a war against spam, but a war against crap, and the overall normalization and intellectual numbing that comes when content is created to please algorithms and provide a minimum viable product for consumers. Google’s “useless” results problem isn’t one borne of content that has no meaning, but of content that only sort of helps, that is the “right” result but doesn’t actually provide any real thought behind it, like the endless “how to fix error code X” results full of well-meaning and plausibly helpful content that doesn’t really help at all.

And he describes exactly what I have to deal with on the regular, “content that only sort of helps” that “steals your attention from the content you actually want.” Even moving from Google to DDG has only mitigated this problem, it hasn’t fully gone away.

But yeah, one of his conclusions seems to be the Death of the Hyperlink? Which, I mean, not even LLM’s can kill that. I doubt <a href is going away any time soon.

No

There are far more important facets to truthfulness and semantics than yes/no questions. If this is the only way you evaluate LLM’s, you will quickly fall for confirmation bias.

This makes no sense. Zork and Asteroids are practically contemporaries. Last of Us and Dota 2, Persona 5 and PUBG, Street Fighter 6 and Baldur’s Gate 3, each of these pairs released the same year. We can probably point to as many story-driven games as action-driven games, every single year, since 1977.

On the time scale you’re talking about, there’s almost no correlation between time and the quality of video game storytelling. If anything, it has been improving (insofar as bigger games with bigger budgets have more grandiose stories being written for them).

I think they have so much technical debt that if they tried to move away from their current stack, it would be the end of them, almost overnight. They don’t have the manpower and know-how to move to Unreal or Unity or otherwise. If they did, they would have done so by now.

@mapache I don’t recognize the orange square…

Whoever came up with that stupid idea needs their computer privileges revoked for the rest of their life.

Wish granted: that person is now the CEO of AdSense and has a dozen EA’s to handle their computer for them.

I think more likely than Valve going under is Valve getting bought or going public. Both would result in the new owner (a megacorp in their own right, or greedy shareholders, respectively) turning the system into shit to squeeze more money out of it. And new DRM would be foisted onto the system regardless.

Thank you for your thoroughly analytical take on the subject. Solid points all around.

Demand for zoning means many things in Skylines 2. If someone builds a house in your city, someone needs to occupy that house. If nobody lives there after a certain amount of time, the house will be marked as Abandoned and it will eventually collapse, and it will need to be demolished. Demand is driven by how many people live in your city, how many jobs there are, how many workers there are, what their education level is, how many amenities there are, etc. These factors are presented to you in the zoning view. It isn’t a calculation you can shortcut: if you force demand to the maximum values, houses will be built and there won’t even be enough citizens to occupy them. You need to fill out your city with other zoning types, service buildings, transportation options, and so on.

Infinite Demand for zoning isn’t a bug fix, it’s a cheat code. The problem may be that how demand is calculated in the game needs adjustment, but maxing out that calculation at all times is not a long-term solution.

Thanks for the reply. I wouldn’t have thought they meant Android source code but that makes sense lol. Also this is the kind of reply I think OP would have appreciated more than just someone saying “you’re wrong, you must have done something wrong.”

Case in point, Ernest had to take a month off kbin development to handle things in his personal life. I, too, have abandoned open source projects due to lack of interest. I think people incorrectly assume that the internet offers a level of permanence unmatched by real life, when in fact it only highlights the ethereal nature of anything people build.

Oh man those animations, I’m glad I wasn’t the only one to notice how slow they were. Turning them off helped increase the speed of navigation, but there’s still some delay when tapping the DM’s bottom bar item specifically. App settings are also in a super unintuitive place now.
