In January 2001, in the OPM2 letters page, Kenneth from Denmark saw the future.

HARD DISK WORRIES

My only fear about PlayStation 2 is concerning the forthcoming Hard Disk Drive. How can gamers be sure that this won't tempt some developers to send out 'unfinished' games as they did with the PC? I hope that you can somehow convince me that this won't be the case.

I feel like having a good monitor is half the battle on this. What's My JND? 0.0049 Can you beat it? www.keithcirkel.co.uk/whats-my-jnd...

A result from a color test that says, "Your JND is 0.0049 Okay this is genuinely impressive. You're well below the standard JND of 0.02. The CIE should be sending you a job offer. Or at least a certificate."

I'm working on sculpting an antique doll for the Shadow Hills Manor game. The floating @pureref.bsky.social window makes it seem like the doll is judging me while I work. 😂 #gamedev #indiedev

A rough blockout of a doll body being sculpted in Blender. A floating reference picture of a doll's face looks on as if she is shocked by how bad the sculpting looks.

Interesting regarding AI and Kpop Demon Hunters 1/2

Artists Against Generative Al
15 AGAINST
Andrew Unferdorfer • 14h • G
A Redditor caught this. Looks like a possible instance where a translation bot fabricated pro-Al misinformation and that got picked up and amplified as real news.
The misinformation states that ChatGPT was used by the creators of KPop Demon Hunters to help them write the song "Soda Pop".
Problem is, when somebody went back to the original source in Korean, IT DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT USING AI OR CHATGPT!
The article was translated with Al, and it looks like the Al itself made up this complete lie, and the truly terrifying thing is how nobody questioned it until this one person went digging for the truth.
We launched the OpenAl Korea office yesterday!
Fav moment from the launch celebration was hearing singer/songwriter Vince share that ChatGPT helped him write "Soda Pop" from KPop Demon Hunters! It apparently gave him ideas to make it sound "more bubbly"
OpenAl
코리아
Tweet's now deleted, but here's a bit further down the web of this:
The original article this was sourced from, from Korea JoongAng Daily, says this:
"Prior to the unofficial event, producer Vince also spoke with Business Director Oliver Jay at OpenAl's official launch event. Vince stated, "We sometimes use ChatGPT to generate inspiration when producing K-pop," and also mentioned that Al technology is already being utilized in K-pop."
The thing is, that's only in the English translation.
The Korean article it's translated from doesn't mention KPop Demon Hunters using Al at all. So, how did it get there? Well, the English article, as confirmed by a note at the bottom, was translated using generative Al. So, since different language versions of the article contradict themselves, there's a nonzero chance that this entire debacle is an Al hallucination ITSELF, spawned from an Al translation

It's funny because all the devs & pubs I heard from at Gamescom had strong anti-AI and "let's take our time" sentiments. Yes, they're all indies. You're only listening to and parroting the side of the industry that's completely lost the plot and will chase infinite growth into a AAAA-sized grave.

Wishlisting is free — but for a dev, it’s fuel. A wishlist isn’t just a ‘maybe later.’ For a lot of indies, it’s the difference between visibility and obscurity. If you’re even a little curious, hit that button.

I once worked on a visual novel game where all the surveys and focus groups said that nobody wanted romance, they only wanted mystery and sci-fi. Then 75+% of clicks in-game went to stories with explicit romantic or sexy themes. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

'These kids do not care about romance': Game devs want to know what today's teens want, and surveys say sex and romance isn't it

Young people want stories about friendship more than romance, say researchers and industry execs.
