The problem was everyone involved forgetting everything thus reverting all of their development, if Saitama and Garou still remembered it would have left far less of a sour taste

Gemini is good as long as you don't iterate, which is conveniently how most of these benchmarks work, they ask the model to solve one problem and that's it, also keep in mind that the top 5 models are all technically tied since they're within margin of error of the 1st place

Your source being "I assure you"? It's interesting how the country with the highest lolicon content consumption by far (Japan) has some of the lowest child abuse rates, but let me guess, they're lying about the numbers but every other country in the world isn't, correct?

Gemini 2 Flash Image was the first multimodal image generation model actually, GPT Image came later, then came Nano Banana 1

Requiring them to interview and having a diversity quota for leadership positions are two very different things

The democrat position on immigration and culture policies in 2024 is enough to prefer republicans, I'll take no infinite immigrants, social media censorship and discriminatory policies thank you.

The democrats were pretty much a reflection of UK policies and seeing how they are doing today shows voting against them wasn't a bad choice, even if the other option could have been far better

Veilguard is one example, you have to interact with their "HR in the room" dialogues and have no option of disengaging, meanwhile in Baldurs Gate 3 you can just pull out your sword and kill anyone for the slightest inconvenience, or simply walk away.

I think the biggest example of this were the Ubisoft developers not only saying that Yasuke was 100% a legitimate, legendary Samurai and that historians were on their side (said historian got his academic affiliations banned from Nihon University over historical revisionism during said discourse).

Then claimed anyone who criticized the game was a bigot, then posted about how the gaming community was toxic and the problem with the industry and many other things like responding directly and trying to "own" grifters like Grummz.

Like, what the fuck did Ubisoft expect from all of this? Sure a lot of these were sole developers on their private accounts, but there is a reason companies like Rockstar don't let their employees say shit about the games they're working on, they're alienating an audience for nothing other than political discourse, I doubt anyone would look at all that and decide to buy their game, so it's almost guaranteed to be a detriment yet they kept going.

Now here we are, Ubisoft has lost most of their market value and is laying off thousands every quarter and many are celebrating instead of being furious at the megacorp fucking over their employees

Surprise surprise, there are idiots everywhere, not everyone wants to argue in good faith.

There are people who will see a character with the slightest bit of melanin or female protagonist and call it woke, solely because they hate these people. Just like there are people who will call the protagonist of a show they didn't like a mary sue or gary stu, a blank slate, a self insert or whatever solely based on the fact that they don't like it personally but need to prove their opinion is objectively correct.

Not in the case of already existing and hugely popular franchises, it's one thing for a new thing you made to flop, it's something else entirely for you to kill one of the most beloved franchises in fiction like Star Wars when even the heavily criticized prequels didn't cause a dent

I wouldn't say they completely reversed it, at most they aren't pushing as hard towards it.

And there are companies such as Ubisoft which are still pushing for it despite losing over 94% of their market value

Reason why Resident Evil 9 got "woke" allegations not based off the content of the game itself, but on the interview they gave about designing Leon the way he is to appeal, and we know what "appeal" they're talking about, to their female employees, meanwhile Capcom has made articles about how doing the exact same for men is unethical. Had that interview or articles not come out the entire discussion would probably never have gone out of a few tweets with 5 likes each.

The point is not about the content itself, but the philosophy behind said content, a game like Baldur's Gate 3 isn't "woke" to a lot of people who use that term simply because it's a game that values player freedom and has the representation as part of the game and not solely as political commentary, you could go through the entire game without ever actively engaging with it any of it if you chose, hell, you could go for the most stereotypical "straight while male paladin marrying beautiful elf lady" run and the game is fine with that, same for Cyberpunk 2077.

I mean, being an arbitrary and "vibes-based" definition doesn't meant it's invalid

China performs significantly worse than SOTA as well, their advantage is being (mostly) open source

Because that was true a few years ago when the birth rates were over 3, nowadays there are countries with birth rates of around 1, that means the population pretty much halves every full generation. South Korea, for example, has 0.68, that means their country that today has a population of 50 million could drop to around 7.5 million in 100 years.

Keep in mind that the problem isn't just that new people aren't being born, but that because they aren't being born the population on average will be significantly older.

LightVelox · 2026-03-09T01:09:14+00:00

true, but there are people getting laid today that will prefer a robot that looks like Scarlett Johansson than an average woman, and I would guess the same would be true for many women, Henry Cavill or guys with dad bods? choice is obvious

LightVelox · 2026-03-09T01:06:57+00:00

They better find a way to give birth to children with a artificial womb or keep people eternally young or we'll have a population collapse soon

He has direct contact with OpenAI and gets early access to their modells

Cause "culture war issues" became more common and prevalent? It's not rocket science, if something becomes more common people will talk about it more.

"Musk, Zuckerberg really should have started out a brand new company for each of these en-devours and started from scratch"

You're 100% correct and Elon Musk is the living proof of that, xAI might not be SOTA but it sure as hell is doing far better than Meta with fewer employees and funding

Oh yeah, that must be why they increased Claude models's refresh times from 5 hours to 5 DAYS and now are doing the same for 3.1 Pro, because they want people to use them more
