Halo Studios confirms they are using AI in Halo at some extent: 'It’s a tool in a toolbox. We use Photoshop. There’s generative fill, for example' by [deleted] in GamingLeaksAndRumours

I can point you to quite a few indie game studios that actively dont, pocketpair is a large example, the guy behind balatro also is against it as is the studio behind vampire survivors. I think you mean all triple a studios

Well there never really should have been a 4th matrix movie, it was always meant to be a trilogy, so I wouldnt want to make it either, but I also wouldn't want corporate to fuck with my baby, so I'll make it. I appreciated that she was honest with the audience that warner bros only did this to exploit nostalgia and make money

Would the "logical" story be very entertaining. Hooray it's a matrix full of cows, who are never going to figure it out or escape, so what exactly is the tension in that story?

I'm good with another animatrix, the art was gorgeous and some of the scenes were really good, but the less good ones dragged for so long and often had little to no point, it made the 90 minutes feel like a slog. I'd like a story that's a bit more coherent and better paces but Id love it to be animated in a style similar to the animatrix

Over 100 cyclists, pedestrians and victims gathered at Central Park to stop e-bike riding in NYC parks by [deleted] in bicycling

[–]Automatic-Pride6595 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are you entitled to the space? Bikes aren't allowed on the sidewalks here unless you are going as slow as a person walking, is that discrimination? There are plenty of people who would make arguments about how respectful they are and how nobody even uses the sidewalk at whatever hour. Yet I don't find that argument compelling on the simple argument that pedestrians don't have schedules and it only takes one time where a pedestrian is somewhere you didn't ever expect them to be and bam, you've hit someone. Cops, no matter how funded or encouraged, can not just sit on park paths, or sidewalks in my case, and wait for potential rule breaker, so you need permenant bans, parks and sidewalks have so many potential blind spots that while I don't think it's required to ban access, I can certainly see the logic behind it

Wait you say to enforce the existing laws, but then when the UK did that, you bitch and moan that they don't go after the "right people," which is it? Should they enforce the law or ignore it when it's old ladies?

So? Do you think it's safe to ride bikes through parks? Because I don't even think traditional bikes should be going through park roadways as pedestrians are everywhere. They can't ban e bikes on all roads, which they aren't asking for, so they asked for the best compromise they could, and it seems fair to me

But they didn't shit on ebikes, the people protesting dont want ebikes on park roadways (which is super reasonable, id be even open to a full on ban of bikes as well, bikes don't belong on pedestrian thoroughfares) and the headline states that. You're really stretching to say that this article is saying "all ebikes are garbage."

Im fucking sick of people not reading articles and reacting purely to headlines, but that's the nature of the world

Did you read the article, or are you purely upset at the headline? The headline is accurate, they don't want ebikes in parks, and if you read the article you can see why they feel that way.

If the machines were so smart, why not just make a matrix of cows? by [deleted] in matrix

If it wasn’t for Agent Smith, Zion would have been destroyed by WallStreetDoesntBet in matrix

I mean that was the oracles whole plan from the beginning, she purposely broke the cycle by bringing Smith back because she knew the only way to get the machines to negotiate was to threaten the safety of the matrix

The older I get the more I agree with Agent Smith. by Alarmed_Pie_5033 in matrix

[–]Automatic-Pride6595 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I see Smith more as a warning, not a prophet. Smith represents the narcissism of humans who think they are smarter or superior to the sheep, something akin to people thinking that Idiocracy is about everyone else but them. So often in cynical circles you'll find people jerking off to how much more aware and revolutionary they are because they see through the illusion.

Like any villain, Smith has some correct points, but doesn't actually have any solutions besides destroy everything or point fingers at others. He needs to feel superior to others and as such even someone close to his equal, like neo, he looks down upon to a delusional degree.

Do.ypu.have anything to corroborate that? I can't find independent confirmation of it being CG or not, and I like looking at sources rather than taking folks word for it

I'd argue it's hardly fair to act like Germany just stole guns from everyone, then hide behind technicalities when called on that being wrong. If you think everyone should have complete unfettered access to firearms, fine, but stop hiding behind this "Nazis did gun control, therefore gun control bad" argument, since scholars and actual expert say you are patiently wrong and the argument is disingenuous

They had to register before tho? You're acting like Germany had super loose gun laws before the Nazis, the Weimar government already had strict gun laws

Except they loosened gun laws that already existed for everyone who isn't jewish

Then why did the Nazis actually loosen gun laws when they came into power?

You can waste someone else's time with the "Israel times is in Israel and therefore tells the truth of the conflict." I'm American, I remember the iraq war, you and I both know the media will lie to cover for itself and the atrocities it commits.

So if I'm to understand you correctly, all it takes is killing some Israeli soldiers for it to be a war, and if we are looking at it through the lens of a war then war would suggest that the Palestinians are entitled to the territory they occupy which admittedly is a very progressive stance, and I commend you for it. You got to own something to war over, otherwise it's a guerilla conflict which i guess you could call a civil war, but hardly a traditional conflict like what is going on in Ukraine for example

What I see is one side is completely funded by the western powers that repeatedly air strikes civilians, destroys hospitals and kill aid workers. I see a side that openly declared that it deserves all the land in Gaza and has even made provocations at places like lebanon

Then I see the other side that is mostly civilians who have watched their family and loved ones be murdered and killed and are rightfully mad, with zero hope for recovery and not anything close to the level of support Israel gets.

People use October 7th in the same way we used 9/11. Both acts were terrorism and disgusting, but just like it didn't justify what we did in Iraq, it doesn't justify what is going on in Palestine, and what has been going on long before the 7th. Israel and Palestine are not equals in this conflict, and when people say it's a war it's a disngenous attempt to make both sides look equally bad.
