so... if i returned to streaming hypothetically... how could i possibly play gta 6 knowing that this became a thing since i went dark.
just thinking about the effect that idolizing Picard had on millennials as kids vs the effect Captain Kirk has on boomers. products of the times, of course, but i feel it is a appropriate microcosm of the generational divide.
it can be endearing. like when we were given cotton candy by an ojiisan at a small matsuri and he said "japanese sweet. enjoy."
this is why i perform above my actual level in Japanese, i have absolutely no problem mimicking the native Japanese accent.
this is so fucking cool

my timeline is 10 years before most households have a jack-o-lantern wrangling robot.
I see how some people can watch flashy robot demos on the timeline and think with a shiver that the robot apocalypse is around the corner, but reality check:
There is no robot in the world that can change the batteries in a jack-o-lantern.
If you have a robot friendly door handle it might be able to walk outside, pick it up, and carry it back inside. The robot could open the drawer with your batteries in it, but then things get tough.
Opening the package of AA batteries?
Extracting a precision screwdriver from its case?
Unscrewing four tiny screws that require a hard press and twist?
Popping batteries out of the case?
Yes, you could build and train a specialist robot to do that today, but there is a very long way to go to replace the full range of human capabilities. Near term doomer scenarios should stop at โsecretly controlling humanityโ instead of โwiping humanity outโ ๐
it is really interesting that Miyamoto's pragmatic take on ai in gamedev has seemingly softened many people's stance. i follow many talented pre-ai gamedevs on here that i have seen give very similar opinions only to get shouted down with "pick a side!" mob sentiment.
it's incredible to me how many people took the rage bait.
Vibe your way to 50K.

hi frash. for you, is it no art/music/writing gen, or are you wholly anti ai even for code?
As a musician I hate ai music, but as a programmer it's getting confusing trying to sus out everyones opinion on code gen and bug finding/fixing with the assistant stuff.
