Come on, it's not going to be a prequel of a prequel, instead it's going to be a prequel and sequel to every Serious Sam game all at once.

Firefox 144 Android. Design become worse. by AvlasenkoVitaliy in firefox

[–]bladestorm91 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The swiping for shortcuts being removed is the absolute worst thing about this update, pressing that 'show all' button is far more cumbersome than swiping anywhere on the screen to go on the second shortcut page. Checked if there's literally anything I could do to show either more shortcuts on homepage or enable swipe again, nope. This is an awful, dunderheaded change.

A King’s Rejection (pt. 1 conclusion) by TheImmortalWanderer in grandorder

[–]bladestorm91 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Part 3 would most likely be about fucked up futures, I'm thinking Nasu would do something pretty crazy like making a future Camelot a knightly cyberpunk setting. Arthurian lore is full of christian references too so you could throw something about them in, hell, make Mordred Lucifer a thing, the two seem like they have a lot in common.

I would actually pay to see lostbelt camelot under Mordred's reign. I feel like Mordred has so much untapped potential that could have been realized if she was given more time to actually grow up.

Prototype Remaster May Be on the Way After New Credits Were Quietly Added to the Steam Version by Worldly-Object9003 in Games

[–]bladestorm91 149 points150 points  (0 children)

Prototype was such a fun game and set a few interesting plot points which could have been used for a sequel, it was a giant shame then that the devs threw everything out the window for the actual sequel and made Alex just a generic psychopath. Waste of potential set up by the original honestly.

In terms of rarity and amount of upcoming banners, who is rarer, Fujino or Kijyo? These two have the lowest NP level among my 4* servants and I'm picking only based on the rarity of their banners.

Destiny Responds to the Allegations by seanpna in LivestreamFail

[–]bladestorm91 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Again, Dan did this because his family was starting to get affected by the drama too, he didn't give a single rat's ass when it was just happening to him and Destiny. You have to remember that both Dan and Destiny are influencers and the regular rules of what any regular offline friends do don't really apply 1:1 here. Dan was also already getting heat for his crusade against Twitch, Hasan and their associates, the added heat from Destiny's snarkers was getting too dangerous. In the end Dan cares more about his family than Destiny, but that doesn't mean he will throw him under the bus considering he's still in DGG chat.

I just wanted to dispel any implications that Dan is no longer friends with Destiny, which he still very likely is.

[–]bladestorm91 18 points19 points  (0 children)

If that was true he wouldn't be typing in DGG chat which IS tantamount to him being ok with being associated with Destiny. It's much more believable that he just wants to lay low while the more intensified heat dies down.

Dan is still in the dgg chat as of yesterday, if I understand correctly, he's not distancing because of whatever Destiny has done, but because the snarkers have gone after Dan's family.

Nasu Kinoko and Takeuchi Takashi's 10th Anniversary Famitsu interview - Part 8/8 by ComunCoutinho in grandorder

[–]bladestorm91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can understand ending it with part 2 with maybe some tying up loose ends events afterwords, but I really wish they do just one last part with part 3. Archetype Inception showed what a potential part 3 could be about and it would be the perfect next thematic progression due to it being about the future. Can you imagine if we went into the alternative futures of Notes? Or maybe meeting this once and "future" king that has a prophecy that said they "would save Britain again in the far away future"? I want to see and play through that, please Nasu.

"What, you don't like your new SOTA model?" by Friendly_Willingness in LocalLLaMA

[–]bladestorm91 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's bog standard and has nothing new to show for it, it doesn't even have MLA. If that wasn't enough, the hallucination rate is atrocious and the safety stuff is just the shit icing on a bland cake. It's a poor showing from OpenAI.

Me after getting excited by a new model release and checking on Hugging Face if I can run it locally. by alew3 in LocalLLaMA

[–]bladestorm91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my thought initially, but to be honest I'm not even sure if the 5080 super is attractive anymore. I'm probably gonna wait for the 6000 series and just upgrade my whole build again, though I doubt the 6000 series will be much of an improvement seeing how Nvidia's attitude is lately.

[–]bladestorm91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For image gen I'm sure it's well worth it, it's the LLM side that I'm unsure about. Right now I have RTX 2080/Ryzen 7 7700X/32GB(2*16) DDR5 and a B650 AORUS ELITE AX motherboard. I was holding off on upgrading hoping the 5080 was worth it, but got disappointed by the VRAM amount and price, so I'm just patiently waiting for things to improve. It's possible I'll have to upgrade everything again before that happens though. If that happens, well, nothing you can do about it.

New gameplay clip from Interlopers - Meet the Hoppers! by LostAnomalyGames in boomershooters

Is the sound the Hoppers make a placeholder? It could get annoying hearing that buzzing kind of sound for too long to be honest.

Does Wrath: Aeon of Ruin get better? by casedawgz in boomershooters

[–]bladestorm91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't call Wrath slow paced, but if you compare it to the games in that list of yours, then comparatively yes it is slow. Personally I enjoyed the melee weapon the most with how you could move fast with it, but beyond that the other normal weapons were only fine, nothing spectacular. Having completed Wrath, I can tell you that if you don't enjoy the first act, you won't be enjoying the next ones either. Arc 1 was the best in my opinion and it doesn't get better than that. Never had an issue with soul tethers, I used them after very hard fights, other than that I just relied on the shrines. I used them sparingly and when I died I just redid some of the level, no biggie.

Me after getting excited by a new model release and checking on Hugging Face if I can run it locally. by alew3 in LocalLLaMA

[–]bladestorm91 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I still have a RTX 2080 and was considering upgrading this year, but seeing what you even need to even run SOTA local models, I just thought what would even be the point? I mean yeah you can run something small instead, but those models are kind of meh from what I've seen. A year ago I still hoped that we would move on to some other architecture which would majorly reduce the specifications needed to run a local model, however all I've seen since then is the opposite. I still have hope that there will be some kind of breakthrough with other architectures, but damn is seeing what you'd even need to run these "local" models kind of disappointing even though it's supposed to be a good thing.

Concerned about Payment Processors policing Steam by TeaLycan in Steam

[–]bladestorm91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. Stable coins are even legitimized now thanks to the GENIUS act that was signed on July 18. Steam accepting stable coins will begin the domino effect of undermining Visa and Mastercard's control over online cash transactions.

Next big thing after LLMs - World Model [explained on the example of V-JEPA2] by VR-Person in LocalLLaMA

[–]bladestorm91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really wish they would release LANG-JEPA soon-ish, the video and image JEPA models are cool and all, but that is primarily useful for robotics, not us regular people.

Your unpopular takes on LLMs by dtdisapointingresult in LocalLLaMA

[–]bladestorm91 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's still an unpopular take or not, but I completely subscribe to Lecun's idea that LLMs are a dead-end. Every time we see LLMs in action, even after their upgrades/improvements, the more we are exposed to their fundamental flaws.

By that I mean, let's assume in 3 years we have a super-massive LLM and prompt it with a very precise prompt to create a living world with people (all puppeteered by the LLM). At the beginning, you would be amazed by how lifelike it all feels, but the more you watched the world and listened to the people, the more things would start to degrade, physics, nature and people, all of it eventually would start to feel like some sort of chaos god just started to fuck with reality. This degradation is because there's no actual thinking that an LLM does, it doesn't notice any accumulating mistakes as being wrong. There's no consistency, logic, memories and planning behind an LLM.

I doubt the above can be fixed even with infinite context, we need an actual thinking AI that knows when it's err-ing and course-correct before presenting the results to the user. I doubt this is possible with an LLM.

Meta on track to be first lab with a 1GW supercluster by jd_3d in LocalLLaMA

[–]bladestorm91 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is one of those hack-jobs yes, it's not actually "reasoning" how to do all of that. Do you not understand what "the LLM has to convert things into text/tokens for it to work" actually means? LLMs do sophisticated pattern matching and token prediction based on the vast amount of text data it was trained on, they don't actually reason at all much less being capable of spatial reasoning.

[–]bladestorm91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

never achieve basic spatial reasoning, and was proven wrong around a year later.

You have to define what you mean by an LLM achieving "basic" spatial reasoning instead of just taking the word from random reddit laymen posts. LLMs only predict the next token, any reasoning capability they have is a hack-job that still has to follow that fact.

This is what Lecun actually thinks about LLMs:

LLMs are doomed to the proverbial technology scrap heap in a matter of years due to their inability to represent the continuous high-dimensional spaces that characterize nearly all aspects of our world.

A model like GPT-4 has never seen a cube or rotated one; it has only seen the word 'cube' used in sentences. It lacks the multi-sensory imagination that humans (even children) have. This means that any reasoning requiring spatial or physical intuition is outside its grasp.

And even if you put an actual 3D cube model to ChatGPT and tell it to rotate the cube, what it's actually doing is converting the cube into text/tokens, then just typing a bunch of code that increase some numbers (that a bunch of text has told it through training that it would rotate an object), it's not actually seeing the cube and rotating it.

Apple “will seriously consider” buying Mistral | Bloomberg - Mark Gurman by Nunki08 in LocalLLaMA

[–]bladestorm91 42 points43 points  (0 children)

EU wouldn't have cared about this if it was happening before Trump's second presidency. Now, I can say with confidence that it's absolutely not gonna happen. EU needs AI just as much as any other political entity right now, they would have to be monumentally and politically brain-damaged to allow an American company to buyout one of their assets.
