The skills required for a lot of game dev work are transferable to other industries (and paid better in other industries) with so many game layoffs/firings at once, they aren’t all going to try and stay in the industry, and in some cases a lot of institutional knowledge can be lost.
Other comments are wrong, its complicated residual structures on tv/movies.
You can probably throw together a pretty simple wordpress website without much knowledge. Just keep it mostly out of the box, maybe change the theme.
Have you ever worked on a game?
I don’t think this is really viable. Maybe some sort of minimum lifetime.
He wants the resources being spent on graphics to be redirected to engineers and game designers. There is a reasonable top end budget to put towards any given game, so it is at least mostly 0 sum.
We have almost no idea what the sequel looks like. Wait to see what risks it takes before judging.
You know cans are just plastic sacs using the tin/aluminum for structure right?
I’m not saying AI can’t be disruptive. I’m saying we aren’t there. The steady progress you think you are seeing is bought with increased processing power, the science isn’t advancing steadily, it advances in unpredictable jumps. Because the performance gained with processing power is reaching its peak, we’ll need at least another one of those unpredictable jumps for it to get to a state that will do what the comment I was responding to was claiming. It could be another 50 years before that happens, or it could be tomorrow.
The current AI boom is all based on a single paper from about 7 years ago, and has been achieved by just throwing more and more computing power at it. There has been basically no meaningful architecture improvements in that time and we are already seeing substantial fall off from throwing more power at the problem. I don’t think its a given at all that we are close to the kind of disruption you are predicting.
Science tells us how to achieve objectives, democracy what our objectives should be. (obviously this doesn’t always work perfectly in practice).
Yes it is. In any rectangle, by definition the diagonal cross section will always be longer than the longest side. Therefore given that this is a relatively 2d shape in 3 dimensional space, it will be able to pass through the hole.
volunteer mods allow things like The Donald to exist.
Its basically also the past right? RSS feeds.
Game design isn’t copyrightable. Code is, they could have a case if someone literally copied the code (which is very easy given its all run in browser).
But is it actually a double standard or a mirage? Its entirely possible for different responses to be justified given different underlying conditions.
The nature of quantum interactions being probabilistic could be some resource saving mechanism in a higher order simulation.
Obviously this is fake, but if it was spinning off steam from the game developer, then maybe?
