Still a pretty low standard. We can and must do better than copying their mistakes. Like, we don‘t need Facebook in society. It‘s toxic and Zuckerberg‘s pitch a proven lie. Starlink stands for a single billionaire Nazi controlling all communication. We could need a satellite internet network but we don‘t need Starlink with a European touch.
And LLM is simply such a bad example for Open Source in general. They couldn‘t have chosen a worse example to make their point. That‘s what’s frustrates me.
DeepSeek being an LLM is far from open source and especially not „truly“ open. The very article you linked basically says as much but wraps it in pretty words. Talking about ignorance.
It‘s open weights but definitely not
truly open source
Feel free to blame the technology as a whole but open source doesn‘t make exceptions for AI models.
I would normally make an exception for indie games when it comes to never pre-ordering games but not here. The development of this was so shaky (if not flat out shady) that I recommend to wait until it‘s actually there and user reviews are flocking in.
I think the bad reputation for asset flips is somewhat overblown. Like, of course some slop game is going to use assets but a lot of decent indie games do too. Using assets doesn‘t make a game bad. But yes a lot of games are just low effort bootlegs of whatever is popular right now.
But whats worse are games containing legit malware on Steam. Apparently that is becoming a growing problem.
But he‘s simply a concerned citizen like you an me. The fact that he married into a billionaire family has NOTHING to do with his politics. I assure you! /s
It is the most expensive energy available and studies typically don‘t even consider the nuclear waste storage costs which would drive the total cost up even more. It‘s share in the global energy mix went down to 10% and it keeps shrinking. Those are hard facts no matter how emotional you feel about it.
Since when do we listen to food bloggers who frequently visit drug parties when it comes to defending ourselves? Let me remind you this perma drunk boomer sees the real danger of our time in green politics.
I don‘t want European Facebook, AI or StarLink. I want something better and more democratic than any of those things.
I never trusted walnuts to begin with.
Not really. The games started out rather tame in terms of parental guidance labels. Only the last two got much grittier but still it didn‘t bathe in flesh and vomit. Baldur‘s Gate 3 was already much more hardcore than Original Sin 2 and it looks like they still try to top that for whatever reason.
Sadly I am sure that was his only concern. That Ukraine makes concessions.
Isn‘t that exactly the green left woke tech Orban is afraid of? I wonder what the Chinese paid them to think green. Not that I‘m complaining but you know there must be corruption involved with Hungary. The incentives are very visible.
It‘s not even remotely as gory as that cinematic trailer and the humor only has gotten darker with the Original Sin games later. Even then they didn‘t have remotely as much gore at any point. I‘m honestly a little baffled. It looks too me they‘re trying to replicate Diablo more than making another faithful Divinity game.
Divinity Original Sin 2 is one of my favorite games of all times but this looks too gory for me. Actually it doesn‘t feel like Divinity at all.
I don‘t know of a single
truly open source solutions for AI
from China. China doesn‘t seem very keen on open source as a whole to be honest. That is unless they can monetize on open source projects from outside of China. Their companies love doing that.
OpenAI isn‘t very good in any of those categories and they still have no business model. Subscriptions would have to be ridiculously high for them to turn a profit. Users would just leave. But to be fair that goes for all AI companies at the moment. None of their models can do what they promise and they‘re all bleeding money.
It‘s definitely clever to wrap the Award show into a Superbowl type of event for the gaming industry. It ensures there will be a lot of eyes on award winners. But they still have to share the attention with the new shiny things that are being advertised so it‘s always a little awkward. It‘s bizarre but part of the experience and let‘s be honest, most of don‘t care about popularity contests. We tune in for the trailers.
I‘m in the same boat. OS2 had a very good balance for me. BG3 already took it a little too far for my liking BUT you could often choose not to, so it was okay. Playing BG3 and hearing the announcement about a new Divinity game got me giga hyped but I will temper my expectations after this cinematic trailer. I don‘t like the tone of it at all, unfortunately.
