Free if you already had Monolith.

video & page both load fine here, perhaps a network glitch on your connection (can’t imaging MS letting the microsoft.com domain expire)

I cannot tell who this is for. I can’t work out who thinks generative AI can produce something both novel, interesting, and entertaining when so many human-created works are awful

The same people who think motion smoothing on a tv looks good

It is truly shocking the number of people I’ve met who think anything that looks “old” is automatically bad/worse

I just turned mine on a few weeks ago because I was sick of the jerky pan over the map in LotR (at 2 out of 10 strength). making the OLEDs work more like phosphors

I mean the motion interpolation on cheap LCDs that makes everything look like a cheap soap opera, not OLED BFI (which I also have on low)

BFI is a fix for sample-and-hold looking really jarring on a display with basically instant response time, but it doesn’t generate images that weren’t there in the source the way the motion interpolation does. This AI shit sucks ass because it’s generating stuff that no human was ever involved in

Is the biggest problem with “””content””” really that we don’t have enough of it because humans are just too slow at thinking of shit??

Please, robot, push the content slop buttons in my brain, I only want to feel the warm sludge of every pop culture moment smoothed together, blended into a gentle balm that elicits a false memory of a time free of worry or responsibility, maybe if we average every episode of Friends together things will finally feel okay

the coolest thing to think about is how many folks are going to grow up on this and think it rules because it’s all they know

this is fair, I have seen this game get streamed multiple times and every time it devolves into a ratio of 1-2 minutes of good ol’ fashioned family fun arcade game to 5-10 of degenerate gambling

the “generate game idea” thing seems like they just want to skip directly to the focus testing phase of idea refinement while willfully ignoring that any given audience is fickle and stupid and also you’re dumping millions upon millions of dollars into development so you would have to focus test the resulting product anyway

anyway let’s hook Muse up to DLSite

I don’t see the downsides except

  • really really expensive
  • can you really contribute to a project in 3 months after not knowing the code base? and having not worked on a major project before?
  • your work is still behind NDA and won’t get on a portfolio until the project ships unless they add some kind of release for it?
  • You don’t exactly get “shipping” credits which is what a bunch of studios want (despite, you know, how hard it is to ship a game and how much of that is out of the developer’s control)

etc etc etc

It’s a cohort of like 20 seats across 2 studios, so each studio gets to add 10 to their headcount for…free???

I can just see this ending really badly.

Well this finally came up naturally. Thanks Bov.

While browsing a pornographic site I found one video marked Mosaic Reduced . Frame to frame the shit LLM morphed and merged gentials, hands, faces. It was a complete nightmare. Against my normal character I had to tell a few friends about this and then hear their anguished wails as they (on the phone) saw the results live. People can crank off to whatever in life, I still can’t imagine why someone looked at this cronenberg acid trip and go “This is great, gotta upload it.” It was a deep psychological/emotional burden until I could figure out how to The Ring style pass it off onto others.

So yeah hey everyone want to be emotionally shaken for a week look at that up.

Ancient select button dot net posters will remember we had a poster whose job was un-editting Japanese pornography. So this is another job taken away by AI except not because the result is horrifying. But probably because like all these AI scams who gives a shit as long as it gets rid of employees we have to pay.

The other day in our Shadowdark discord someone posted a motion-smoothed/interpolated gif of the classic shot of the Grinch getting his super evil face and literally everyone in the call was like “my skin is crawling, I can’t stop looking at it, it’s so unctious and awful”. I felt like someone had smeared my entire body in Vaseline
