Games that have already been classified prior to September 22nd aren't affected by this unless they need to go through classification again, however I'm going to laugh if Pokemon Red & Blue are rereleased on the Switch 2 at some point in the future and get slapped with an R18+ rating π
I'd argue there's enough difference there to flag them separately. The original number two is more about personal responsibility; choose a different retailer, go to a different place, etc. Voting with your wallet so to speak.
Government regulation, while it's still about people pushing back against companies, with the state of most western governments at the moment you can't assume they will automatically have the public's back. So there's a tie in to the personal responsibility aspect by electing representatives who represent your interests, but given that's not always feasible (either because not enough people share that view to get someone elected or because there isn't a suitable candidate available to support) I would argue it's distinct enough to warrant its own category.
Regulations and anti trust laws would both fall under a government intervention category though I think.
βI think everything is going have to be done with strategy, because you canβt overtake"
I still feel this needs addressing. Whether it be through making adjustments to make overtaking feasible (either in the track or the car regulations), adjusting the rules to force more pitstops and therefore provide more opportunities for these strategy calls to play out, or by not racing at tracks that don't make racing feasible.
We'll see how the race actually goes but if you have one of the fastest cars on the track and can't get through to the front runners because "you can't overtake" then something is wrong. Hoping Lando is wrong there.
On the other hand, would be hilarious if Oscar ended up closing the gap to Lando and we're back to McLaren not sure who they should push.
Be the change you want to see in the world! Spank, and be spanked in return.
I'm more taking issue with this quote from the article:
"Researchers behind the project say similar AI models could be used to create games from scratch in the future, just as they create text and images today."
This doesn't strike me as something that can create a game from scratch, it's something that can take an existing game and replicate it without having access to the underlying source code, and use an immense amount of processing power to do it.
Since it seems they're using generative AI based technology underneath it, they're effectively building a Doom model. You might be able to spin a Doom clone off from that but I don't see it as something you could practically throw another game type at.
That being said as I said in a different reply, I was viewing it through the lens of something more product based rather than that of a research project. As a field of research, it's an interesting topic. But I'm not sure how you connect it to "create games from scratch" if you don't already have an existing game available to train the model on.
That's a fair point actually, I'm looking at it through a product lens, not a research one.
This sounds like the basis for a new Warioware game.
Regardless of the technology, isn't this essentially creating a facsimile of a game that already exists? So the tech isn't really about creating a new game, it's about replicating something that already exists in a fairly inefficient manner. That doesn't really help you to create something new, like I'm not going to be able to come up with an idea for a new game, throw it at this AI, and get something playable out of it.
That and the fact it "can be played for up to 20 seconds" before "the model begins to run out of memory" seems like, I don't know, a fairly major roadblock?
Okay, my sister in law is a big fan of lizards and sneks, so now I'm embarrassed that's not where I went to first π However I wish you the best of luck with your Llama owning aspirations in the future!
I'm allergic, so wasn't the first thing to come to mind. However yes, would also be a valid alternative.
I've seen the acronym DINKWAD before, but never DINKWAL. I know DINKWAD is dual income, no kids with a dog, so now I can only assume you own a Llama.
Dawntrail is now live for everyone! We hope you're enjoying your time in Tural β€οΈ
Surprising no one, the final day of countdown illustrations is the newest melee class added in Dawntrail, the Viper! They totally got this piece commissioned and are now negotiating to slay some local vidraal to try and pay for it, so if you have some work, please, let them know ππ»
Rounding up the last of our pre Dawntrail jobs, it's the tank with the knife you can still bring to a gunfight, Gunbreaker! Also known as "three DPS in a trenchcoat" the Gunbreaker gives everyone the chance to act out their favourite scenes from Final Fantasy VIII and gives you plenty of buttons to keep you busy while you take the hits for the rest of the party.
Due to a huge increase in demand for today's illustration the White Mage from the massive uptake of new hires into the Viper Blade Sharpening industry that the Deputy Directory of Turalism has promised includes White Mage Insurance, it is now required that anyone coming across from Eorzea to Tural does so as a White Mage. Thank you for your understanding.
Few things are as important fell cleave as the bond between a warrior fell cleave and their Chocobo fell cleave. Standing on the front line fell cleave they are more than capable of taking fell cleave whatever the enemy has to give fell cleave, with plenty left in the tank for another 10 rounds fell cleave.
πΆ The bard opened up their case and said "I'll start this show", and fire blew from their fingertips as they rosined up their bow πΆ And they pulled an arrow across the string and it gave an evil hiss πΆ Then a band of voidsent joined in, and it sounded something like this πΆ
For honor. For Doma. For Eorzea. For those we have lost. For those we can yet save. Today's illustration is the Samurai, and they feel right at home when the odds are against them. Don't let their light robes fool you, a quick flick of their wrist and you'll be out before you know what's happened!
Shields? Check. Nouliths? Check. Kardia? Check. Prognosis? It's time to shoot lasers at the bad guys until they stop moving! Sage is the healer that Square-Enix gave us to demonstrate that yes, healers are in fact supposed to be doing damage as well. So raise a glass to your local Sage, and just remember, if they're busy shooting lasers, they're still healing their tank. Only a week to go now!
With the power to call upon avatars of the primals themselves, Summoners can bring awesome destructive power to bare against their foes. But at the end of the day, once that power fades, Carbuncle is always there waiting for you. Such a cute adorable glowing floof ball. Remember to feed your carbuncles everyone!
It's definitely a spiritual successor to Apollo and is the main reason I've stuck with Lemmy.
