LLMs don't produce ideas they implement them, anyone who is relying on LLM produced ideas basically doesn't matter the whole point is they make people who want to design interesting stuff have a lower barrier to entry of actually producing stuff.

Mass education was formed to destroy local cultures and languages in the prussian empire and revolutionary french to make sure people were compliant and wouldn't revolt against the state's control, it has never had anything to do with making people thinkers. This is the stated purpose, and always has been.

Yeah I was reading this seeing if there was something he'd actually show that would be useful, what pain point he is solving, but it's just slop.

It's just AI porn, not AI girlfriends. The article trying to sell what the developers themselves describe as a replacement to cam-girls as AI girlfriends is just stupid clickbait.(anyone who has tried to solve long term memory with LLMs knows we just aren't there yet in terms of long term persistent characters/personality with memory that don't just hallucinate non stop)

Who cares of people use AI generated porn instead of cam girls, I am against pornography generally but if anything lessening demand for actual people in the industry seems like a positive. People will get unhealthily attached to pornography but that's something that happens now anyway, it not actually being a person again seems better of two bad options.

This whole attitude is just the attitude of tech demos. Nothing good or worthwhile will be "completed playable game in a couple days" actually making anything good takes a huge amount of time and effort and thought. Empowering a small indie studio or solo indie dev so they could make something AA or AAA quality should be the actual goal. If you have 4 people able to make a skyrim level game in a year or two that's an insane feat, that should be the goal. Not someone who doesn't give a shit throwing some prompt and making some slop game that is exactly like 500 other slop games people generate with one prompt.

Like with that tech what kind of games would say random solo developers plugging at it and refining it be able to make in 4 years, that is the extremely compelling stuff. One person being able to make some auteur AAA quality game on their own, even if it takes a long time that might actually be good. If there are AI games those are the ones I'd want to play.

Compared to just coming up with and having solid systems for generating game assets? Actually having decent quality style consistent 3d models, texture work, animation, sound effects, etc (especially if it were built into say a game engine or something) would actually revolutionize indie game dev. Games are fundamentally artistic works so yes anything decent will actually require tailoring and crafting, AI set up to serve those people actually makes sense and is totally technically feasible are way easier problems to solve.

And no if you heavily visually modify something with AI models to the extent it significantly alters the appearance it simply has no way of being consistent unless you include the previously generated thing somehow which then has the huge problem of how do you maintain that over an 80 hour game? How do you inform the AI what visual elements (say text, interactive elements) are significant and can be modified and which can't? (You can't)

Actually using AI to generate assets, having a person go in to make sure they look good together and make sure they match then just saving them as textures so they function like normal game assets makes 10000x more sense then generating a user image then trying to extract "hey what did the wrapper of this candy bar look like" from one ai generated image and figuring out how to make sure that is consistent across that type of candy bar in the world and maintains that consistency throughout the entire game, instead of just you know, generating a texture of a candybar?

that rando's one looks like fucking garbage like a bunch of shitty B roll footage from an AI generated advertisement for some kind of pharmaceutical, the space and layout of the world clearly is constantly shifting and makes no sense. just generate a fucking map we already know how to do this, tracking geometry is an EASY problem for computers, don't force some AI shit to try to do it for some reason.

I do not get the point of this at all, why not just generate game assets and run them in an engine? With this format there would be no regularity that the thing you saw before will look the same (and that is not a fixable problem).

Actually figuring out and improving AI approaches for generating consistent and decent quality game assets is actually something that will be useful, this I have no idea the point of past a tech demo (and for some reason all the "ai game" people do this approach).

It's just the prompt: https://github.com/xai-org/grok-prompts/commit/c5de4a14feb50...

People who don't understand llms think saying don't shy away from making claims that are politically incorrect means it won't PC. In reality saying that just makes things associated with politically incorrect more likely. The /pol/ board is called politically incorrect, the ideas people "call" politically incorrect most of all are not Elon's vague centrist stuff it's the extreme stuff. LLMs just track probable relations between tokens, not meaning, it having this result based on that prompt is obvious.
