Stop Killing Games delivers 'absolutely incredible' hearing in European Parliament: 'There was no [parliament member] that wasn't responding positively'

i'm in tumblr and the posts about that vote was circulating there from day one, screencaps steadily increasing in vote number while i never saw it on reddit/lemmy or other places with some kind of algorithm as opposed to the simple reverse chronological feed that is tumblr's current default. i read the notes - people were reposting it elsewhere and it just disappear into the void. it was around 70% but was also very fast approaching the deadline when it exploded in popularity because of that guy.

in a way algorithms both almost killed and saved that petition - but there was a concerted, months long active action by uncountable number of people, a tremendous effort to save the petition and keep it going.

Microsoft patents system for AI helpers to finish games for you

Jump

oyenyaaow @lemmy.zip 2mo ago

It's just that games should have a balanced 'just the story' mode where you both feel like you're actively playing the game but not be frustrated at the hardness. If some impossible perfectly execute or die versions of a campaign exist, then it should also have a leisurely immersive stroll. choose your own adventure movies should be an option. Like those game books that used to exist (Lone Wolf etc); some people roll the dices and play, but just going through the options is no less fun.

I can see why someone would want an AI helper to help 'finish the game' because there are games that are locked away by skill when all you want to see are the stories and options. but it's the fault of developers and gaming culture as a whole if 'games are supposed to make you feel powerful' are the only demand that are being catered to. Why should enemies in Core Keeper get stronger in multiplayer when it's just a local game; sometimes you just want to coop marauding through the biomes, and that's not a vanilla option.

can't believe i'm quoting a transformers fanfic but here we are...

“Hang on,” Wheeljack said, “I’d worry about passive systems, not active. This mech wasn’t exactly enthusiastic about where he was going. I’d bet on some kind of system he wouldn’t be able to control at all—better yet, something that doesn’t rely on power or signal at all. Something he couldn’t rip out, or block by hiding—”
Hook and Scrapper had come over. “Exterior composition,” Scrapper said instantly. “I’ve thought of doing something of the sort for transport containers—stripe the cladding with varying amounts of a neutrino-scan-visible material for tracking, even underground. Megatron, if that’s the method they’ve used, we don’t have enough appropriate materials to block it. They’ll be able to locate him with satellite scanners, and they’re certainly sweeping for us already. We’ve got to dispose of him at once. Ideally, by melting him down.”
“Hey!” Ratchet stood up. “How about we don’t jump to slagging one of my patients!”
Hook stared at him as if he was insane. “What melodramatic nonsense. You’ve never even spoken to him!”
“He’s on my table, he’s my patient!” Ratchet said.
“Enough,” Megatron said. “Offer me a rational alternative, or shut up.”
Great, that wasn’t pressure or anything. “Fine, how about this: destroying him is stupid,” Ratchet said. “We still don’t know basically anything about this planet, we’ve nearly been taken down twice already, and now they know for sure we’ll be trying for the Excelsior, which means they’re going to be waiting for us there with everything they’ve got. We need intel, and he’s probably got it.” Megatron’s face didn’t change, but he kept listening, at least. “And we don’t need to cover him head to toe with palladium sheathing. We just need to make sure he doesn’t match the pattern they’re scanning for.”
“Well?” Megatron said to Scrapper.
“We’d have to isolate the material they used… but I suppose Mixmaster could analyze a panel of his frame,” Scrapper said grudgingly. “We could disguise him…”
“Except then they will find a pattern here that doesn’t match anything in their database,” Hook said.
“Yeah, but they can’t have a negative-match process,” Wheeljack put in. “They’re not energy-bound, right? They’re materials-bound. That’s why they—recycle instead of smelt down. Any one of their mechs is probably carrying a dozen old parts, and you’d get a negative match any place two patterns overlap. They probably just make sure each new mech gets at least some parts in a unique pattern, and that’s what they’ll be looking for.”

but if there's also cameras everywhere then every time a negative match comes out then it just triggers the cameras to pick out those cars. best bet would be collectively agreeing to use one set of specific id for everyone, not a randomized id and thus unique id's

Cyberpunk 2077 VR Modder Hit by Another DMCA Strike, Pauses Patreon, Pulls Access to All His Mods, and Declares He's 'Under Attack'

Jump

oyenyaaow @lemmy.zip 3mo ago

Because they exist in a grey area of copyright. It's not precisely defined, and so it's a honor system.

Paid mods, simply by existing, threatens the honor system. You keep touting Kunos and profits. what relevance is profits in this? Honoring CDPR's wishes and applauding Kunos' leniency still work in this system. What is not is someone pointing at that generosity and demand that it is the default. Those paid mods threaten to put other game modders existence into legal jeopardy because people who keep arguing just because one company is generous other companies must also give away their rights.

now that it is involving dmca if pursued further it's write new laws or court case.

It's not about bankrupcy, it's about setting rules about their property. Some rights are enshrined in laws; derivative works are fair use. are mods fair use? nobody knows. but not if you charge for it, that requires licensing. no one wants to see precision laws being written about this, so everyone has to play by the developer's rules. realistically that guy wants money from CDPR assets and CDPR said no you can't do that.

Kunos giving modders the right to use their name freely does not mean CDPR has to. That's what holding an IP means, you set the rules. and CDPR says if you use our name it cannot be paywalled media.

early generation computers fueled a demand that was being supplied by rooms and rooms of human calculators calculating and checking each other's works for scientists, engineers, businesses, and government agencies

(Manhattan Project, Atomic Heritage Foundation picture)

they would not have died out, because they were a necessary part of the evolution of technology at their time. more importantly, they were more accurate than their human calculators. computers don't forget to carry a number to the next digit or flip them around. barring exceptionally rare cosmic radiation events. and their technological progression fueled an ever greater need until now when tech has entered post-scarcity when it comes to calculating power.

generative AI in contrast was an offering looking for a purpose. spare gigaflops no longer needed for tech people are trying to sell by building more and more hype for calculating power. sucks to be the one who invests into it, but that's business. sometimes investment don't work out. if microsoft can't hype up a demand then it is unnecessary technology.

TFW watching Starfleet Academy

Jump

oyenyaaow @lemmy.zip 3mo ago

The last episode of SNW left a bitter taste. not the writing or the cast - the scenes background of either generated images or something shot without even looking at a script - 'mooks lingering around' probably. there was no synergy at all between plot and whatever was behind them.

i was expecting to rewatch the entire season after that; now it soured me for new star trek.
