Does the letter have a return address?
Could always use more free orphans for … various projects.
Ooh! You could adopt the kid, tell him about how his father was killed (by your enemies, of course), and train the kid in the ways of the warrior, bent on revenge. Then, at some appropriately dramatic point, you could reveal that it was actually you who killed his father!
It already has.
Full nihilist mode here, bruh.
I don’t give a shit about anybody’s job. I’m just talking about what AI might or might not be able to do a decent job of and not ruin the product.
IMO, ai-generated assets are not a deal-breaker, especially if it’s done in moderation. For example, using AI to generate the texture for a human-made 3D model.
If major portions of the game are AI-generated, that’s going to be terrible. But if they’re just using it as a shortcut to fill in some of the minor details, that’s probably fine.
I’d like to play the next one, therefore I will buy it.
There be other options, matey.
Without this scandal I would have never known a sequel was on the way.
Makes me wonder if this might actually all just be kayfabe to drum up free publicity…
People who say you need a profit motive to do work are just passionless and detached from the world…
You might even say they’re feeling alienated, as a certain German economist might say.
I do, actually. But I’m not going to spend it on this frivolous bullshit.
I think instead I’ll install some solar panels on my house…
Honestly, yes, I think it’s one of the best examples of anarchism in action the world has ever seen. And an especially pertinent example to point out to those who’d say things like, “Why would anyone do work or innovate without a profit motive?” Lots of good and innovative software, made without any profit incentive by a collective of people who are working on it just because they want to and they enjoy it.
the point is that they will be locked into a walled garden with minimally-powerful hardware. Can such a device even really be considered a PC anymore?
My main laptop is an ancient chromebook that I jailbroke and put Linux on.
While they’re locked down, I wouldn’t really consider them to be a PC. But if you can unlock them…
Yes. Not because Linux PCs become so much more common, but because Windows PCs become much less common.
More and more people (normies) don’t own a desktop and only use tablets or phones. As the percentage of normies who own a desktop decreases, it will become more of just a nerd thing to have an actual desktop PC … and those kinds of people are much more likely to run Linux.
I don’t care what they do … I just really hope that a decent Subnautica sequel comes out of it.
Are they finally discovering that AI slop is bad?
In my youth I was taught that democracy meant that the government served the people.
In your youth, your teachers lied to you.
I am in no way qualified to be writing kernel modules from scratch!
Hm… Which means I’m perfectly qualified to work at EA! I should apply!
When it ends up being really shitty and broken, you’ll know why.
suddenly forcing changes into the linux kernel, the kernel that literally runs the entire internet, countless businesses, and governments
Of course that would never happen.
They’d just require some ‘EA anti-cheat’ kernel module to be present, or their game will refuse to run. So you’d have to install and activate that module in order to play their game. But there would be no need to modify any computer that doesn’t play their game … so as long as you’re not trying to play games on your internet server, the server is safe.
It’s an assumption that because they use the kernel in Windows that they’re going to do the same in Linux.
If they don’t, then it would be easy to do undetectable cheats using a Linux PC with kernel-level cheats.
I’m not so sure that kernel-level anticheat on Linux is really a good thing…
Microsoft devs aren’t allowed to use Microsoft Teams?
That’s what I’ve heard. Completely hearsay, though.
I’m thinking maybe my next phone is a dumb phone that can only make calls and maybe text. They still make those, right?
