The video advertising Unity's ew AI-driven autocomplete game maker has 'Mari' who has a game idea they "always wanted to make" and that idea is "Space Corridor" and it looks like this, and that's the strongest argument I can think of for keeping game dev out of the pro-AI crowd's hands.

CD Project Red makes great games but I get really annoyed at their writing. So many of their quests feature scenarios that have an obvious middle ground, but that's simply not an option because they have to stick to their "no matter what you choose, there's ridiculous consequences" nihilism.

NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV's Al encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious.
Olah's team then privately lobbied the pope's advisers "to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously." Pope Leo XIV held firm.
For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing.

The cluelessness of this reminds me a lot of the NFT grift. The thing about NFTs was that it was mainly something finance bros were into, and when they were trying to worm their way into gaming, their pitches were an abyssal trench of bad ideas because they couldn't grasp why people played games.

I should try Starfield again. It came out at a time when I wasn't in the mood for a big RPG, so I decided to wait until it got some updates and DLC. It's got both now, so maybe - oh wait, I just checked the file size. It's 128gb. That would take over a week to download. Oh well, maybe another time.

dear content creators: if your game's content is delayed or the release schedule is slowed down, do not keep calling it dead. most people with jobs other than "play the game" can handle a month of nothing, even if it personally bums you out and forces you to change plans. but dooming hurts everyone

seeing some posts around about Dusklight being an ai port, i'd appreciate it if people stopped spreading misinfo or taking various discord messages out of context. Dusklight does not rely on ai, and is stated as such in the readme. any third-party fork/mod that uses ai is unrelated to us

Source code is a list of instructions. You can read these instructions to see what they do. It's impossible for the compiled version of this code to do anything other than what was written in the source.

This headline is misleading, if you read the article he specifically says that it's being discontinued because as he retires from judging, he's unable to find someone who is able to be a judge, implied because of scheduling & workloads, not because there's no more creative people or no one suitable.

They fired so many artists over this too. People who helped make the game iconic were tossed out on the street because the Slop Faucet could do it "decent enough". If you still play Fortnite, you're funding the hyper-acceleration of AI replacing Artists in Gaming

I'm thinking about making a Tomodachi-like game, but the main thing holding be back is that I can't find a decent TTS system that isn't AI garbage. Even if it runs locally, I don't want that shit. Partially because I just hate this technology, but also because all AI voices sound so fucking bad.

The amount of games I choose to not cover or play lately due to their use of Gen AI has been become too frequent. Do game devs/publishers realize how much business they are actually losing because of this? Even using AI to make promo material is an immediate no for me.

The U.S. AI industry is being run by a batshit rationalist sex cult, and no, I am not being hyperbolic - they’re genuinely Like That:
Erin Redwing
@realizingerin
I went to an rationalist/EA Al doomer event last night with the goal of meeting someone who could calmly explain to me the argument for how they get to the conclusion that Al will kill everyone.
Because these are rationalists, I expected to find people who could lay out a serious extinction pathway, walk through the assumptions and intermediate steps, identify choke points where negative pathways could potentially be regulated, and entertain disagreement about where their assumptions might break down.
My experience was the exact opposite.
The people I spoke to seemed psychologically unable to entertain the possibility that their conclusion (that Al literally kills everyone, which was a point that many would not even budge on) might be wrong.
Their most extreme conclusion was treated as an axiom.
I had multiple people walk out of conversations with me when I questioned their inevitable extinction premise.
At one point during a panel, the moderator asked everyone in the audience who was still skeptical of Al doom to raise their hands. About half the room did. He then told all of the skeptics to leave the panel and go with one of the speakers, who would answer their questions separately. They filtered out all the skeptics, and continued the panel only with the subset who accepted their extreme position.
I genuinely felt like a heretic just for questioning whether superintelligent Al inevitably leads to the extinction of humanity, or entertaining the possibility that the future might actually turn out well.
That does not mean Al safety is fake. Obviously there are serious questions about rapidly advancing Al systems and what happens as they become much more capable. Those are exactly the conversations I went there hoping to have.
But what I encountered was an apocalyptic death cult. These people are not rational. They are deeply afraid, they reinforce that fear in one another, and they have become so emotionally committed to apocalypse

In Mario Kart Wii, asphalt is slightly shiny, reflecting a band of light ahead of the player. This is implemented cleverly by leveraging something that the Wii is already doing, allowing it to not need to use any sort of additional lighting or post-processing.
In Mario Kart Wii, asphalt is slightly shiny, always seeming to reflect light in a narrow band ahead of the driver.
Increasing the contrast of the image makes the effect more visible.
Internally, this effect is achieved in an extremely simple way by leveraging an existing system:
Mipmapping is a practice whereby several copies of a texture are stored, each smaller than the previous by a factor of 2. The further away from the camera a point is, the smaller the texture is that is applied to it. This reduces aliasing (the interference patterns created by viewing high-detail surfaces at oblique angles) and improves rendering speed.
The textures are then smoothly blended. This is supported natively by the hardware and happens automatically.
SLIGHTLY BRIGHTER!
Original road texture: 1024x256 pixels
closer to camera
512x128 pixels
256x64 pixels
128x32 pixels
64x16 32x8 pixels pixels
further from camera
By making only the second texture slightly brighter, the system that automatically places the texture a certain distance away from the camera is leveraged to make a band of light that appears to move automatically with the player.
On the right, each mipmap is colored differently for a more striking demonstration.
Fun fact:
this usage of mipmaps to make a rainbow occurs in Paper Mario on the Nintendo 64!
