Government spyware finally has a challenger for the title of “primary reason that most Microsoft software runs like hot garbage”.

Yeah truth be told, most American-published military FPS games are supported by the DoD in some capacity. Just like most Hollywood movies that feature US military hardware get support from the DoD. So it’s not really a mark against the CoD series specifically, more the subgenre as a whole.

I think the reason blops doesn’t feature so highly in my memory is because I’d already moved on from the series at that point. I think I was busy playing Reach or Ark or something by then. I do have friends the same age as I who would agree with you on it.

Sounds like someone needs to take a little break from social media.

This is ageism. Social media should be banned for everyone.

I think the future will be somewhere between what we consider normal now and the austere dystopia you envision. This AI shit certainly isn’t making the world any better, that’s for sure.

Unfortunately that is a laughably miniscule number compared to the DoD budget, and great news for the arms manufacturers they will pay to replace them. As the other commenter said you cannot stop the US war machine with bills, only with body bags.

Space-y but not Spacey.

Agree. WaW and MW2 were decent follow-ups to CoD4 despite not quite measuring up. Blops and everything after was pure slop.

And it’s all DoD-funded US military propaganda.

I think that to a degree we’re buying into the showmanship and claims of AI companies concerning the future, when the reality is that there are hard limits to the functionality of generative AI and LLMs. They want us to think that they’re building Rocco’s Basilisk because that’s some good terrifying viral marketing. But it isn’t true.

I’ve personally tried these tools at home. I’ve got LM Studio and ComfyUI on my PC. They’re novel and all, but they do have a hard limit to usefulness. You cannot rely on an information tool that returns the wrong information half the time. Not because it’s annoying but because people want and need to get stuff done, and ultimately AI will get in the way of getting stuff done.

Oh yeah, the presentation he was commenting on did suck, and while what he said to those guys was harsh it was entirely justified.

People like this are completely aware of their hypocrisy and do not care that it gets pointed out. All they want is a platform to broadcast their propaganda and that’s what engaging with them does. If your social media platform doesn’t let you exclude bad actors and forces that engagement then you should abandon that platform. My 2c.

Yeah I did forget to consider that a lot of the web hosted models have a whole array of “experts” - Sub-LLMs that help fill in specialized information that a more generalized LLM wouldn’t have. Not a problem for someone running an AI model on their home computer but something that likely happens most times that you’re querying an AI online.

Fuuuck, comment of the day right here IMO. This hit me.

That stuff Miyazaki said was before generative AI existed. He was commenting on procedural animation being used poorly in a 3D simulation. It’s fair to apply his sentiment to AI, but he himself was not talking about AI.

Playing a AAA game amount of energy vs running an entire data center on full blast amount of energy, is the comparison I like to make.

IMO usually a lot easier than learning Windows too. But I can understand them not knowing that if they’ve never tried. All they know about Linux is that it’s nerdy and technical.

OK buddy.
