you don’t hold "AI" accountable; you hold AI developers, vendors, and corporations that profit off it accountable holding "AI accountable" is like holding a toaster accountable. it's an inanimate object. it doesn't have wishes, feelings, or desires

I started avoiding r/gaming because of how many comments along the lines of 'XYZ game sucks because the writers ruined it!' I saw. Like, lads, how much decision power do you think writers have in large gamedev projects

P passing no urine all day
S severe breathlessness
I ot feels like you are going to die

I so wish this would happen. State-owned clubs should simply not be a thing. The German 50+1 model would be the solution though I'm afraid this ship has sailed long ago for Prem.

Regulatory capture. They want to look transparent and responding so they are the ones writing regulations, instead of having these imposed on them.

Been musing lately about the story structure of classic jRPGs and how it's different from western RPGs. The musings now spilled onto my blog: www.narramblings.com/narramblings...

She doesn’t get to be the protagonist, but she still carries the entire story structure.

It is so mentally corrosive to try to ascertain, every day, whether the images I am seeing or the texts I am getting or the phone calls I am receiving are real - produced by a human who is trying to communicate something with me, even indirectly. It makes me feel insane and paranoid all the time

Obviously having your game erroneously banned for daring to suggest that adults sometimes have sex is an absolute nightmare. Particularly the week before launch! But...I have to admit that playing a vampire in a game deemed "too sexy for Steam" might be the coolest I've ever been.

pcgamer.com

Upcoming vampire RPG Nighthawks has been removed from Steam search and delisted in certain countries as Valve classifies it Adults Only: 'It's very bad news for us'

The label "immediately makes the game persona non grata in several important countries like Germany".

GDT's reddit AMA spitting fire www.reddit.com/r/movies/com...

reddit comment:

Hello! Did you intend the ending of Pan’s labyrinth to be real or in Ofelia’s mind?

Guillermo Del Toro's reply:

My interpretation, and it's exclusively mine, is that it's real.

Because there's two things. One is what people call “The Shining Question.” The Shining Question is, Who opens the door for Jack to get out of the fridge? And Ofelia is in an attic with a guard outside her door, and she draws the door with the magic chalk, and she shows up in the labyrinth. So, the only way she could have gone into the labyrinth is the magic chalk. And the flower is real at the end. The flower that blooms in the dead tree. And the reason I think it’s real is because—and this is why I'm in favor of the human factor in art—I think that art does transform the world. You know?

Think about it for a second. One of the goals, with all this movement, is to make you believe that art is vulgar. That art is nothing special, and anybody can do art. That is like me telling you that I'm faster at running than Usain Bolt but I “run” in my motorcycle. Well, that's not the same. That’s not the same at all.

Art is important, and they want you to believe it isn't. It's part of the idea of control. The goal is not to have artificial intelligence. The goal is to foster natural stupidity. The goal is to foster you not looking for answers, and to trust yourself entirely to an engine. Look at the way we are dipping our toes into these things. We are starting to ask the machine, Is this true? For now, there's a correlation between reality and what the answers of the machine are. For now. But soon, we won't even investigate further. We will be told it's true. And if the machine is in the hands of somebody who should not be trusted, then your reality has been completely and utterly fucked. Because your intelligence ends at the question. You don't seek the answer. It's given to you.

Q: You recently mentioned that AI creates 'semi-compelling screensavers' and that you'd 'rather die' than use it. As a filmmaker who relies heavily on practical effects and creature design, what do you think is the biggest thing lost when a computer generates an image instead of a human hand?

GDT:

The three quarters of the process that gave you the chance to think of the idea that people don't think about without that process. Meaning, AI can get you to the middle really fast, but there's a dialectic with the process that gets you to that top 10%. I'll give you an example with the Pale Man.

We sculpted it as an old man, with a face. And then I said, Let's take out the face. This happened because I saw a photo of a manta ray and the poster for Don Coscarelli’s Phantasm. That combination, which happened at two different times during a week or a month, are not permutations that are chemically part of an equation. They are alchemy. And then I said, Take out the face, and then I said, Let's put the eyes on the hands. This triangulation happens because I spent a month or two months living with the idea of this creature. And it's not linear.

AI is like a super-fast engine that makes semi-sentient permutations of things that are already done. Creation is things that have never been done. Coming to exist.

And the second thing is the loss of the apprenticeship that one has as an artist. You're never a master; you're always an apprentice. This is a kinship I have with, for example, Chris Nolan. When he showed me The Odyssey, there’s a scene when Matt Damon is floating in the stormy ocean and I asked him—because we were talking about practical effects, and how great it is and that we both always use a maquette or a model—and I asked him, How did you do it? He said, “We put him in a storm in the ocean.”

And you're gonna find that 30% of a great image occurs accidentally. You know, either a drop of water hits the lens, or the camera shakes. I remember when in 1993, '94, Jim…

Basically this is the reason I don't use AI in my core work, because like we can't remember phone numbers now our mobiles do it, you lose a skill you don't use. And unlike outsourcing phone-number-remembering, these skills matter.

Let it be known that Neurocracy is a must-play for any puzzle/murder mystery lovers ❤️

A five-star rating for Neurocracy on itch.io with a short review that reads:

A game I could pour the rest of my life into. I mean, assuming I lived only up to 2049. Still a great mystery with a fascinating world featured in hundreds of detailed Wikipedia (crossed out in favour of) Omnipedia articles. A mustplay, dare I say, for any puzzle/murder mystery lovers.
