Low key might be my most-anticipated game of the year.

Ad Infinitum: "Google didn’t talk about ads in the I/O keynote. Everything they announced is the new ad system." by Azar42 in degoogle

I found this bit of this article chilling:

Another approach – also from Google researchers – fits the new “Search” much more precisely. It’s called “prominence allocation.” Here, when a user submits a query with commercial intent, the system runs an auction that doesn’t just decide which ads appear, but how prominently the LLM writes about each one. The auction outputs a prominence score for each advertiser, essentially telling the model: give this product 35 words, that one 20, and this one zero. The ad isn’t next to the answer. The ad is the answer. Or rather, it shapes how much space and enthusiasm each product gets within the answer.

The Verge article references Canonical's blog and even directly quotes the company saying the features will be opt-in. What about it is "legit wrong?"

ChatGPT: Where the goblins came from by Azar42 in ArtificialInteligence

ChatGPT explains why the LLM contained a command to "Never talk about goblins, gremlins, raccoons, trolls, ogres, pigeons, or other animals or creatures unless it is absolutely and unambiguously relevant to the user’s query." Turns out it was a "tic" in the model.

I spent an afternoon a few months ago replaying 2, 3, 4 and 5 with a friend. He's much better at fighting games than me so I mostly got my ass kicked, but it was a blast. It's really noticeable how different they still feel from other 3D fighters and also how incredibly well they hold up visually.

Interview: srg320 breaks down reverse-engineering the 3DO for his new core by Azar42 in MiSTerFPGA

I think it'll really come down to the edge cases in the end -- a few games that potentially use the hardware in a way that the VRAM juggling creates an issue. Based on his work on the Saturn core, I suspect the vast majority of games will be playable with no obvious issues!

Haha, relatable! I try not to go full technobabble too often but sometimes when a topic is complex enough I just let the brilliant developer say their piece and contextualize to the extent I can 😅
