Ohh the gpu power, yeah

Tdp?

No

No

No. I work as a game designer, and I can just straight up tell you that you are dead wrong. Ideas have both quality and value, and they interconnect to make the backbone of interactive experiences

And manslaughter

No. I just don’t respect ip.

Because he didn’t make the idea or hone it into a game. So much of a game design is just trial and error

Yeah because you are also a taker instead of a creator. If you knew how ideas are born you would also feel disgusted

I don’t respect ip

I watched his videos way before the ai explosion and it seemed so far fetched and paranoid. Now, not so much

No, they don’t.

It’s almost as if it’s not so simple to just make statements about how to make good games

The people that would implement dlss work on content for the game, as I said. Content needs programming. How are you months into not understanding this very simple fact

Relevant as you spent months asserting they don’t

At arrowhead the tech works content too.

They don’t make content.

Nobody has pretended that.

They work to make content

You program so many things that are content

Good luck with your head

It’s not that wierd or hard to get dude. For a teen maybe. Please get real. You talk about the indoctrination, that’s what explains some of the wierd reactions. That and teens. It’s a super clear tone you see immediately in the opening cinematic, and not hidden in text lore on the map. It’s humor, joking about very serious things as the backdrop to a coop shooter. Not a wierd place for a game to be in any way.

Dopamine levels can measure that effect, it is neither the cause or effect. It is like saying the salt in sea water is the active ingredient making fish live. Only certain fish, only one of the things required, and so on. “it” does not have influence on behaviour, “it” is a chemical used in many different parts of our brain, for instance used to keep us breathing among many other things also in animals and even plants, not affecting their behavior in any way.

Dopamine is a signal substance that is present in several places in the brain, and animals, doing different things in different places. It is not as simple as an exploitable chemical that is enabling this or even involved in the behavioral studies targeted and implemented by gambling companies.

Many things in life is exploitative. The plastic in almost all your utility is designed to break so you have to buy new products. The insurers are purposefully hiding clauses to steal from actual people in distress, at the moment where they lost everything. Oil companies astroturf and lobby to keep the transportation and air quality at this unsustainable level just to make even more money when they already have most of the money in the world, enough to buy whole continents, just lying around in Panama.

Music, film, and other forms of art are the few places where the consumer is more actively engaged and sensitive to being exploited, yet it is also the space where that just doesn’t fly. The gambling area is the most interesting place to view these moral questions in. Why is it okay that their entire business model is to work around regulation as much as possible to reach those most vulnerable in society to take their money?

Games with exploitative practices are going hard out of fashion. The people that engage with those systems unhealthily is the same people that are gambling addicts.

To me it’s just very easy and obviously best to use policy involving support networks and social safety nets to protect people rather than using prohibitive regulation and hope that soulless corporations will ever grow artificial moral spines. These psychopathic global machines will never be human or act human ever

They are already used in medicine reliably. Often. Welcome to the future. Computers are pretty good tools for many things actually.

They literally steal money. That’s your problem, you think they are following your rules and swallow that they are engaged in conduct that is okay without scrutinising it in the least because it would be a real hassle and you know nobody would deal with it anyway. Because this is the only way to make a difference. I am a game developer, I know the industry, the bastards in these mafia cells are straight up stealing. Nobody creative has any choice. Nobody has a fucking supply shortage. Creatives are being abused, I want to only participate when I can be assured these insane practices are not involved. It’s not capitalism it’s pure greedy crime
