Are you suggesting your skill is more valuable than others? If so by which standard? What determines how valuable a skill is?. Or do you think other people don’t develop their skills as well?

I don’t know what you do for a living, but realistically unless you are a farmer your job is not actually essential. People can survive decades without doctors, can police themselves, etc, granted it would be a worse life than currently, but it’s survivable (and I don’t think you’re in either of these positions either, if I were to bet I would say you work in something that’s completely irrelevant to society but that earns money to some rich guy). However everyone needs to eat, so why do you think your skill is more important than the skill of the people actually keeping you alive?.

Does it address the “first loop” problem created by the second movie allowing to change the past?

Of your 3 first examples, 2 are terrible and the other is forgetful, while all of them are good movies, they’re terrible sequels. I have seen Predator 2, but all I remember is that it’s set in a city; Aliens is clearly a cash grab that undermines the first movie, it switched from Terror to Action, and it’s essentially the same reason that Colonial Marines is worse than Isolation; Terminator 2 is my personal pet peeve, because it completely destroys the first movie plot. How does time work in Terminator? Easy, it’s cyclical, meaning you can’t change the past. But Terminator 2 introduces the concept that the past can be changed, but if the past can be changed then there is an original timeline without any time travel, and if that’s the case John doesn’t exist there, and if he doesn’t exist the terminator doesn’t go back and Reese doesn’t go after him and John is never born. The only way Terminator makes sense is if Reese always went back, which means the past can’t be changed.

You’re not alone https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3I7WTRfn55MEQ7s1q8kUihUigU0BS9H3pCj0Jgc8vMi7esVr4C3XJBHTdJ8S6hyN-TXy7RUN-QnlA61awklIUgVX8vKKwr1xbFAkR58qcEHIs2pL-VJtboDJQlrWrlmDo3oK9beIJ/s1600/ch930919.gif

The quote needs a bit of context, to get the full weight, but essentially when asked what to do with his body after his death, Diogenes would reply with statements like “throw me in the forest without a burial”. People would be agast and ask him about vultures, wolves and other animals that might eat him, so he would say Just give me a stick to chase them away which is the quote I wanted.

Quick correction, Castilian and Spanish are he same thing. It’s not an old dialect or an old language. Spain has lots of languages, and the renaming of Castilian to Spanish was a “recent” (last 100 years) attempt from a dictator to delegitimize all of the other languages (also prohibiting them from being taught in schools or being used officially).

Also I strongly dislike the use of dialects here, although there are many different accents the language remains the same. If we start to call Mexican or Argentinians Spanish into dialects we might as well call Texan or Californian English as dialects as well, since they’re equally different.

Also, also, Mexico (the largest Spanish speaking country by population is in North America), not sure why you only mentioned South and Central.

That being said, yes, the Faun speaks very formally. It’s not necessarily archaic, but the sort of language one might expect in a court room. But yeah, that used to be the colloquial Spanish a while back.

Please research the meaning of stability when applied to Linux before parroting stuff. Also, who mentioned Arch?

If you know that that’s the right driver to install, what is your question?

I usually give detailed responses, but honestly the correct response here is RTFM. The short answer is to install nvidia-580xx-dkms.

Arch wiki is such a great place that has the answer to most technical questions you might want to ask. I strongly dislike the idea that Arch is for advanced users, but it does expect you to read the documentation (which is why I dislike stuff like Manjaro that try to make Arch “accessible”, but end up leaving people in similar situations without even knowing where to look for the solution to their issues).

The solution I’m talking about should already be the standard by most devs (especially small studios), even before LLM was a thing. See, small teams can’t afford QA, at least not to the same extent as big studis, so they need to add checks to stuff in a way that catches large problems, and a placeholder making it into the final game is a big problem. Even before generated images were a thing devs would just use any random image they had that more or less worked, and those images could have copyright or be problematic in any other way, so ensuring none of that made it into the final release has always been important.

Dude, naming the textures placeholder_<name> doesn’t take any more time and ensures you won’t ship a game with a placeholder. This is, or at least should be, common practice even without using LLMs, and only takes a couple of seconds, not enough to cause any inconvenience.

That’s not what a concept artist does, concept artists (if they had one) did the work before, game artists are still doing the work while the generated placeholders are in place, no person’s job was compromised by using generated placeholders. That being said, if any placeholder made it into the final game then fuck them.

I agree with almost everything here, I think using LLMs to generate placeholders is fair game and allows studios to nail down the feeling of the game sooner. That being said there’s one thing I disagree:

However, it is obvious to see that occasionally you’ll forget to replace items with this technique

There are ways to ensure you don’t forget, things like naming your placeholders placeholder_<name> or whatever so you ensure there are no more placeholders when you make the final build. That is the best way to approach this because even extremely obvious placeholders might be missed otherwise, since even if you have a full QA team they won’t be playing every little scene from the game daily looking for that, and a few blank/pink/checkered textures on small or weird areas might be missed.

I think it’s okay for studios to use generative AI for placeholders, but if one of them makes it to the release you screwed up big time. And like I said there are ways to ensure you don’t, it’s trivial to make a plugin for any of the major engines (and should be even easier if you’re building the engine yourself) where it would alert you of placeholders in use at compile time.

Then there’s nothing I can tell you. You haven’t even finished the game tutorial. I just found a video on YouTube of someone playing, the tutorial is around 20 minutes, after that you get into the game proper, once you get to the ship that’s when the game starts.

It does, it’s not a very large spoiler, so if you want to I can let you know. But without spoiling anything, I can tell you it’s very close to what you’re describing.

Obvious spoilers for people who’re still playing, but: Push through what exactly? Have you gotten to the main game loop? Do you know what’s the mechanic I’m hinting at on my original answer? Does 22minutes mean anything to you?

I’m going to assume yes (if not, push through until this makes sense). Now you have a whole solar system to explore. One thing that I didn’t noticed at the beginning and made me frustrated, there’s a computer on your ship, you have log entries there, sometimes reading those logs might give you a push onto what to explore next. That being said, this game is all about exploration, every planet has interesting things to explore, I’m not going to spoil too much, but it’s all about exploring and figuring out stuff, if you’re getting bored you don’t know what to do, if you’re getting frustrated you might be trying to solve a problem without all of the puzzle pieces, go out, explotó other places and you might find something that helps you.

There’s a game where the best way to experience it is to go blind and discover everything, I think you might enjoy it, it’s called Outer Wilds, and it’s one of the best games I’ve ever played.

For years my grub entry read rWindows, it doesn’t make sense in English, but “Ruim” is portuguese for bad, so it sounds similar to badows.

No, you are changing the rules: it is not my credit card number, it is a mathematical representation. It isnt my art, it is a conglomeration of all art.

Again, the credit card number was to show you that both the math is math and the information is free are terrible arguments, which you clearly understood despite trying to avoid accepting it.

I am 100 percent behind the idea that if you make a drawing, it is yours. Not mine. But if I sketch a similar one based on yours because I saw it, this new result is mine.

Let me introduce you to a new word plagiarism, copying someone else’s art is not acceptable.

The information is free, the original is also intact.

Again, give me your credit card number, if information is free you should have no issue with this. But you do, because you clearly recognize that information can have value.

Also, a AI made art is not going to stop someone from buying from some one else.

Except it does, go chat with any artist out there and you will be told how their commission work dropped, how they were fired, and even if they themselves were not affected they certainly know someone who has.

I buy from artists I know that have something so say. A different artist AI or not has no influence on my purchase from the ones I like.

You are you, but someone writing a book and in need of a cover, someone wanting concept art for a game, someone with a YouTube channel in need of a logo/avatar, or many other examples don’t care about what the artist have to say, they just need a piece of art to be a part of the thing they’re trying to sell. Artists can’t live by selling art to the random person who might like what they have to say, the vast majority of artists make a living doing commission work or hired at a company to produce art for them. Now the art that these people have produced has been misappropriated and used in ways which they gave no consent for, and that way is making them lose on jobs and affecting their livelihood.

You’re either a troll or just plain stupid, regardless it’s clear to me that it’s pointless keeping this up. We’ve gone in circles around everything, you claim information should be free but refuse to give away your information, that math is math but refuse to tell me numbers that have meaning to you, that digital artists are not artists but refuse to elaborate. You clearly don’t know any artist in real life, but I hope whatever it is you do for a living is the next thing LLMs starts to imitate, maybe then you will understand that the society we live in doesn’t care about the quality of the thing, but rather the cost and speed.
