@NVIDIAGeForce What an incredible waste of energy, time, and computers

Announcing NVIDIA DLSS 5, an AI-powered breakthrough in visual fidelity for games, coming this fall. DLSS 5 infuses pixels with photorealistic lighting and materials, bridging the gap between rendering and reality. Learn More → nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/…

@discord_support Yeah this isn't going to go how yall want

Discord will soon be expanding teen safety protections worldwide including teen-by-default settings and age assurance designed to create safer experiences for teens. We’re also launching recruitment for Discord's first Teen Council, creating a space for teen voices to help shape our safety and wellbeing work. Applications are now open for US teens ages 13–17. Learn more about these updates here: dis.gd/teen-safety

Not to mention the energy an environmental cost of using the cloud based versions that are being rammed into everyones face.

If you are using LLMs or any generative AI in your paper writing, you are failing at both writing and being considerate. Given it seems every major LLM out there is built on a backbone of widescale theft of human work, the ethics of these tools are... Poor at best

@GennaBain Always. THOU SHALT NOT PREORDER

At the time, I was disappointed but I didn't appreciate how genuinely bad this was. And I already had E33. But I think the game should probably be banned from any art awards at the bare minimum, and it's very sad to know Sandfall has to go into my watch list of shady companies.

@LarAtLarian You could just explore references the way you always have. Even these 'simple' uses of of these mass plagiarism tools is tacit endorsement of all the theft they have done and the massive environmental impact caused by setting up huge cloud servers for these programs.

Holy fuck guys we’re not "pushing hard" for or replacing concept artists with AI. We have a team of 72 artists of which 23 are concept artists and we are hiring more. The art they create is original and I’m very proud of what they do. I was asked explicitly about concept art and our use of Gen AI. I answered that we use it to explore things. I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art. The artists do that. And they are indeed world class artists. We use AI tools to explore references, just like we use google and art books. At the very early ideation stages we use it as a rough outline for composition which we replace with original concept art. There is no comparison. I talked about how we use ML here if you would like to know more: gamespot.com/articles/baldu… We've hired creatives for their talent, not for their ability to do what a machine suggests, but they can experiment with these tools to make their lives easier.

@RoboftheHayes @Ymiruil That's ashame I love the first artist but number two did a great job mimicking

@Ymiruil I had to change artists.

With book 4 coming out July 29th, here's a handy little graphic to show the Titan Hoppers schedule.

@BandaiNamcoUS Given adaptations of games with actual clear story are often poor... Sorry yall I don't have a lot of faith this will work out. Part of the joy of ER is the mystery and exploration. I don't see it translating well to a film length plot

We’re thrilled to announce that Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. and A24 are teaming up with writer and director Alex Garland to bring FromSoftware Inc.’s world-renowned video game ELDEN RING to life as a live-action film. We’re truly excited to bring the world of ELDEN RING to fans in a new form, outside the game. Stay tuned. The path ahead is only beginning.

@discord Why on earth would you choose an Activision exec?! There have to be enough gamers left there to know the kind of atrocities the leaders of that company allowed.

After over a decade as founder and CEO, Jason Citron is passing the torch. We’re excited to welcome Humam Sakhnini as our new CEO.

@OfficialRWBY Any info on fresh physical copies coming to market? The vol 1-6 Blu-ray is 300 bucks right now =/

Team RWBY assembles on #AnimeDay to announce that Volumes 1-9 of RWBY are officially available on digital and on sale ending 4/21! ❤️🤍🖤💛 Wherever you decide to watch, we can’t wait to have RWBY back on your screens!

@Hickenlooper @SenatorBennet

It's so absurd that anyone has to do this. But Senator Booker is finally one Democrat doing something in his power to make a stand. This is what we need. More resistance. More discussion on how much is being destroyed and how many are being hurt. youtube.com/live/rCUK2VbdL…

@_technomancer @CohhCarnage There are currently no ethical uses for most publicly available deep learning tools imo. Your absolute best cases are deep learning tools built from the ground up and maintained for strict research purposes or very restricted tasks in a scientific setting.

@DominicShayler @CohhCarnage Nah, AI isn't inherently bad, it's just a tool, and this is AI done right. If he's running it locally then the environmental impact is lower than actually streaming and gaming, and since it's trained entirely on HIS OWN voice, it's 100% ethical. I don't see the issue, tbh.

Demoing a new feature for the channel (CohhAI Voice!) then we charge into the ending of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2! Maybe some Yarrkuza later as well? HMM! twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@_technomancer Currently I disagree. All the public 'ai' tools, especially generative ones, are typically large server power hogs. Even if cohh had trained one and ran it locally, I assume he is beginning from an existing program that most likely is being trained on stolen work

This is getting bad. Really bad. I am scared for my career. Twitch keeps DC'ing me from stream randomly. Its not my ISP. Its not OBS. Its not my hardware. Every day I just have my connection closed to Twitch. I need help @TwitchSupport. I am literally BEGGING somebody, a real person to look into this. PLEASE. I have dedicated 13 years of my life to this platform. I need help. I need somebody to look into this. It has been going on for months. I have replaced PC parts, my wires, multiple server swaps, ran every test that everyone has suggested. My career is going to literally die if this keeps up. I am terrified of not being able to pay my mortgage. My watchtime is down 80% because I CANT STAY CONNECTED. And it is ONLY to @Twitch! Even when I am multistreaming, none of my multi streams drop, its literally only Twitch! Please. Somebody help me! I hate begging especially on here of all places but I am getting desperate!

@DodgeRollGames I keep hoping to hear about a new project from yall!

We just opened the gates, Gungeoneers 🏰

@RoboftheHayes Approximately 1/9th of a Sanderson! Woo!

A quick update on the writing progress of Black Cloaks (TITAN HOPPERS #4)...
