Reposted by GautamAlejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 1hSeeing this just fills me with absolute despair at the climate situation. We are still at peak emissions. We haven't even begun decreasing emissions and even if we did, the warming that's baked from past emissions will last for centuries. We're cooked. 726847

Reposted by GautamTommy Thompson @tommy.aiandgames.com · 8hI understand people's apathy and frustration with GenAI. But it's now rather commonplace in studios - and even public engines - to have AI tools and integrations that are not intended to create slop. This sounds like a real effort to integrate specific models that help with particular workflows. 1121
Reposted by GautamTommy Thompson @tommy.aiandgames.com · 8hThis is about building a new version of the RE engine to address specific pain points in production processes by having a range of machine learning (possibly GenAI) models to help developers overcome them. I need to spend more time going through this, but it reads like sensible AI adoption. 1121
