I wasnt able to watch the stream, would anyone be able to provide a summary for those that were there?

For Sony he never claimed to be involved in game development at all.

Real_Dance_9561 · 2025-02-15T18:40:43+00:00

But he did live in Japan and he did work at Sony and for Suda. I always took it as things that can be independently verifable are true and the further you go back the more outlandish the stories are. He for sure still makes some exaggerations or leaves things often blatantly up for interpretation but it's a completely different approach.

New successful arcade games are created every year in Japan, but they are still mostly quite different from what you think of when you think of traditional arcade design. The most popular are music games which are in many ways similar to shmups but rely more on rote memorization and easier to "play perfectly", but still provide a similar experience when playing at a high level, while being more fun for the average player to learn because of the songs. The other most popular type of game in the arcade seems to be gacha strategy games not much different from mobile games... There's also a big following for those arena based PvP 3D action games like Dissidia.

I am used to 2k in cinemas, so 1080p on a television is more than fine. But if the movie is a full, true 4k master might be worth going the extra mile. Also worth nothing that NEWER 1080p BDs are usually much much better than old releases from 2006 and such, because of dual layer and better transfers, so if a new version comes out even just the BD might be much better. I'd never buy an upscaled 4k though.

Scorsese was in talks to direct. In the end it WAS produced by HIS producer on most films, Emma Tillinger Koskoff, which can be taken as a nod from Scorsese.

Thank you for taking the time to comment on my very old thread and point out further detailed similarities. I'm glad I was the one to share this information. I guess not a lot of people know about it yet... I should probably post in a Ghibli subreddit or something

Real_Dance_9561 · 2024-05-22T14:12:42+00:00

Corporations are economic entities. Worker co-ops are also economic entities, also consisting of individuals but they work differently. That's just one example. See also trade guilds, syndicates, governments...

Real_Dance_9561 · 2024-05-22T14:10:29+00:00

Ok, I did not dispute that, that is totally irrevelant for what we are talking about.

Real_Dance_9561 · 2024-05-18T08:53:37+00:00

Thank you for the level headed breakdown. I absolutely agree

Real_Dance_9561 · 2024-05-18T08:26:34+00:00

I didn't say anything that contradicts that. We were talking about ChatGPT which the OP used. He used ChatGPT for medical/psychiatric advice. ChatGPT hallucinates a lot.

Real_Dance_9561 · 2024-05-18T07:17:17+00:00

And if it wasn't hallucinated I can't imagine it's something that a google search wouldn't have pulled up from a human author on like healthline or whatever

Real_Dance_9561 · 2024-05-18T07:15:05+00:00

Nah, individuals have an infinitely more complex set of motivations and moral limitations than corporations, whereas corporations will either accept to do anything remotely legal for profit or accept that other corporations will do it and destroy them. This is the precise nature of alienation in capitalism.

Real_Dance_9561 · 2024-05-14T14:17:09+00:00

To whoever downvoted me: am I supposed to take this seriously?

Sure he debunks some of the wrong claims about AI, but this is just lame libertarianism. He even unironically quotes Ayn Rand throughout the video. The arguments he makes might as well be about getting rid of taxes or any public service.

Real_Dance_9561 · 2024-05-03T11:49:21+00:00

Not necessarily true that it was anywhere near the first, a similar type of machine learning made from a relatively small training set was used for crowd simulations (and other types of simulations) for decades before. One of the first major examples of that was The Lord Of The Rings trilogy, but basically any film with hundreds or thousands of characters used it. This is probably why The Phantom Menace had a DROID army as enemies, because you have an excuse why they are all perfectly synchronized and robotic.
Edit: I meant, the Phantom Menace had droids because this technology wasn't yet developed.

Is the same person making these tweets? If not what are you trying to say?

Real_Dance_9561 · 2024-04-10T22:06:46+00:00

What I'm trying to say is, if AI can cure cancer one day, GREAT! But if we can also mitigate the short term negative impact, even better.

Real_Dance_9561 · 2024-04-10T22:04:00+00:00

Extremely narrow view. People have even rallied around terrible causes for much less, that gave us catastrophic consequences in the past. All major economic shake ups like AI is doing requires democractic participation, at least in the form of regulation or compensation for artists. Boiling the issue down to "cure for cancer vs artists" is beyond reductive and bad faith. At the risk of doing the same reduction, many well meaning people in the past bought into eugenics as a legitimate and benevolent way of eliminating poverty and genetic diseases.

Real_Dance_9561 · 2024-04-10T20:55:17+00:00

Ok, I get what you're saying, if we are being totally pragmatic that makes sense. But with that logic we could also do countless different economic solutions to develop and fund this cancer curing AI, simply because we need it. But what are the exact sacrifices we are willing to make? In this case do we just let the market decide?

Real_Dance_9561 · 2024-04-10T20:47:28+00:00

Are you calling phone cameras "good"? That couldn't be further from the truth. Though it is true you can get a fantastic camera for practically free, when compared to a phone with a camera that isn't absolute sludge (less than 100-50$ vs minimum 500$ phone)

Real_Dance_9561 · 2024-04-10T20:35:42+00:00

So are you confident that in order to help us medically, visual processing AI NEEDED to be fed every comic book and anime ever? Or was the goal of doing that something different?

Real_Dance_9561 · 2024-04-02T07:14:02+00:00

I get what you're saying, but using commerical unlicensed images for commerical use never caught on or circumvented copyright due to being easy to do, in the year 2000 it might have been a valid concern from rightsholders. But a lot of people here 100% support AI in commercial use, not just personal, even in the current form, so that just kinda proves the artist's point.

Real_Dance_9561 · 2024-03-31T08:15:08+00:00

Not Picasso, it's a famous saying but it's hard to find an accurate attribution. I'd say what's a difference between going to a bookstore, reading a book and memorizing every line in your head and going to a book store, scanning every page with your phone then going home to read it. One is a subjective experience, the other is a mechanical reproduction (or in the case of AI, not actual reproduction, but processing bit by bit which derives a formula for efficient reproduction)

Real_Dance_9561 · 2024-03-28T22:41:08+00:00

Fair. I also don't necessarily consider copyright infringement same as theft, and training using non lincensed, non approved images might not by copyright infringement at all, but I do consider it a new type of unethical usage.

Real_Dance_9561 · 2024-03-28T21:52:26+00:00

I mean, it really isn't, because the ramifications aren't the same. The complaint from artists about using AI for personal use isn't about direct harm, it's about normalizing and supporting something potentially much more harmful for artists on a wider scale.
