It's beyond anything I've ever seen before though. You didn't see this level of propaganda and "Fuck the consumers, we're doing what the investors want" type mentality when previous tech innovations like the internet or smartphones came about. For better or worse, people willingly adopted those technologies because they improved our lives in obvious ways (even if enshittification ruined them later down the line).

Companies literally have "AI mandates" where they dictate to employees they must use AI a certain amount in their work or else they get fired. When have you ever heard of something like that before? Imagine your boss in 2009 telling you that you have to use an iPhone 70% of the time while on the job or else you get shitcanned.

>>735103425
Todd thinks this way he can keep using his decrepit old engine but make it look nice, not realising that most people (>99%) can not afford DLSS5 and will see the shitty graphics.

Todd howard never cared about the art style of his games. There's an interview with Michael Kirkbride listing how he, (the concept artist) would have to draw two designs every time : The one he wanted to put in the game, and a more extreme version used to trick Todd.

He'd present the extreme version first and Todd would reject it, then he'd being back the ""normal"" version and Todd would say "good job, much better!"

That explains why Morrowind is the most unique looking elder scrolls game and the rest are extremely generic

The fat and gay american comedian Tim Dillon says the elites have convinced themselves that they're talking to Sumerian demons through AI.
Sounds like bullshit, but that's kind of the plot of the novel "Snow Crash" that Zuckerberg also stole the name "Metaverse" from. The author of said book is strangely well connected to several billionaires and has even worked at a Jeff Bezos spaceship company before.

I read Snow Crash not that long ago and know what you're talking about, but I don't think think it's as literal as it is in Snow Crash. It feels like this Tim Dillon guy is just trying to bait schizos into watching his show. He doesn't show the AI guys talking about this demon thing, and it's likely they themselves were referencing Snow Crash if they said that type of thing, it's probably one of the most famous cyberpunk books ever.

That aside, I don't really disagree with his point that it's weird how openly the big AI model developers and proponents are about how they believe it will ruin people's lives. The charitable interpretation is that those people are saying
>Look, AI is gonna fuck everyone's jobs because capitalists will be able to eliminate so much of what people do by simply paying for a robot, so we as a society need to plan ahead for that and ensure that common people will be able to secure a livelihood without relying on jobs we predict will get eliminated.
and the doomer interpretation (which is honestly more likely IMO) is
>Well, we know people are gonna get fucked, but there's no stopping the investment train, and if I don't do it then someone else will. People are gonna get fucked, but it's not worth worrying about because progress is unstoppable.

It's more to paint AI in a good light, it's not really going to have good militaristic or surveillance applications, it's good for shifting through and presenting data though to help make decisions.
But they want AI to make the decisions and to do that they need to convince people that mistakes are worth us having AI. They need us to accept that some people will be killed, arrested and have their lives ruined because of AI but we love AI so much that this is acceptable collateral.

It's not just because of applications it already exists within, it's to give it greater control and by extension the state greater control.

What really weird about this whole thing is that LLMs aren't "AI". they have no intelligence or will or brain. All they do is search for a response based on yours and generate tokens. Its basically the same as talking to a chatbot, except the chatbot has millions of data it can access to respond to you with. 95% of the training is just articles taken from the internet and the other 5% is probably just books it stole from the itnernet

Like, companies are spending billions on basically a chatbot. And we're no where near agentic AI. Hell AGI would require 1,000,000 more data centers on the planet to even come close to starting the project.

They can't be that low quality because you still need to animate their individual parts. But, that's why someone like Todd is excited for his tech, after how bad his human models were looking in Starfield.

They have no long-term memory but can work in a fairly large and complex context via a form of short-term memory. They don't change their neuronal structure but I don't think that's a requirement for consciousness.

Starfield has absolutely nothing on FO4 settlement system and equipment customization.

Todd's biggest issue is that for all his leadership skills has incredibly banal and "average 7th gen AAA fan" tastes.
His dream sci-fi game was fucking NASA-punk with no intelligent aliens and his work on the TES series has always been to optimize for the most normie appeal possible.
Todd's ideal ES6 would be the meme conception of Game of Thrones as grey and sad realism but with the TES races shoehorned in.

It looks like that in a handful of places, but you wouldn't be able to tell from New Atlantis, which is completely sterile and boring outside of The Well.

Only new Atlantis is like that and it's practically a welfare state. Akila is predominately white. Neon is White + East Asian.

The best comparison I can make is the film Interstellar.

It's a fucking snapchat filter and they're going to charge like $6000+ for this shit. How can you not hate AI at this point?

It's making entire environments hyper realistic, bringing visual fidelity to levels that would be impossibly expensive. I mostly play older games, but I can see devs wanting to use it for newer ones. Realistic graphics have always been a selling point for normies.

Everything is a ponzi scheme. Like seriously, it's always funny seeing people comment on anything to do with finance and economics as if it isn't ALL circular "value" being propped up on the hopes and dreams that more and more people just mindlessly contribute to the cycle. There's not a single part of the modern economy that isn't structured exactly like the scams you know of, just at such a massive scale that your individual contribution to it is insignificant.

Didn't think Todd would sell out like this, yeah his games were jank but I always thought he was a man with a vision. Disappointing to see.

exceptional people are not the same as normal people. Otherwise they wouldn't be exceptional.

That's a pretty old negotiator's trick - giving the first "unacceptable" demand so what you want afterwards doesn't seem so bad by comparison.
Frequently used by scammers for obvious reasons, so pretty fitting for bethesda.
