I'm, just taking a guess here, I don't have any prompts on had, but imagine that ChatGPT is pretty "woke" (fk I hate that term).

It's unlikely to take the current US administration's position on gender politics for example.

Bias is inherent in these kinds of systems.

Yep, it's the outline around text that won you the client.

Stretching the timeline to 30 years doesn't make the achievement any less impressive.

Why do some people gloat about moving goalposts around?

15 years ago self driving of any sort was pure fantasy, yet here we are.

They'll release a version that can drive in poor weather and you'll complain that it can't drive in a tornado.

In a world where openAI exists, it really does require an almost breathtaking lack of imagination to be a skeptic.

>This is the polar opposite of BotW’s design thesis and I hate you for tainting it.

LOL, calm down mate. Fwiw, I've read your back and forth with the GP and I'm much more excited with their vision than yours.

Anyone with any imagination can see that LLMs are the future of story telling.

You can rage all you want, but progress will march on without you.

>All it's doing is noticing that makes no sense and saying so. How could it not recognize it?

you say that like it's the simplest thing in the world. it really amazes me how quickly people acclimate to this mind-blowing tech.

>This will come from the capitalist system, businesses will be driving the obsolescence of humans,

what's the point of owning the factories if there is no one to buy the crap you produce? they need us more than we need them, at least until they have their own spaceships with AI and robots to fluff their balls for them.

>Why is consciousness computation?

if there is no duality, then what else can it be?

> there are entire philosophical movements that have developed fascinating accounts of consciousness that are far from strict materialism

philosophers can bloviate all day. meanwhile the computer nerds built a machine that can engage in creative conversation, pass physician and bar exams, create art, music and code.

I'm not saying there's nothing to learn from philosophy, but gee you have to admit that philosophers come up a little short wrt practical applications of their "Philosophical Investigations"

people generally get tired of life because their body is failing. I'm sure you could find exceptions where people were just ... bored ... and ready to die, but this would be the extreme minority.

>There's a finite amount of ... experiences

I very much doubt that is the case in anything but the most pedantic, philosophical sense.

>changing the control scheme

Controllers use analog input for the sticks. I guess you could create a system which uses a dead zone where the player "signals" their intention by partially moving the stick in their desired direction.

This would be incredibly cumbersome though, and the payoff would not be worth it.

>I guess the problem there is pretty fundamental

yes absolutely, you can't have both realism and snappy response times.

It's always a tradeoff between responsive movement and realistic movement. RDR2 has very realistic animations, with the tradeoff being slightly "floaty" controls.

Personally I prefer snappy movement i.e. when I press left the screen character moves left immediately. A more realistic looking animation system introduces a delay while you wait for the feet animation to "catch up" to player input.
