CosmoNova,

That‘s the type of cockiness you‘d expect from scoundrels who just committed the biggest heist in history and got away with it. I‘m not surprised in the slightest.

CosmoNova,

I get that record sessions are a huge hassle and simply paying VAs per AI-generated voice line is easier for everyone, but it somehow makes Paradox look a little careless to me.

Stories like these also set a precident. This is what voice ‘acting’ will be like for a moment before it becomes effectively eliminated because voice libraries will become diverse enough quickly and there will be no need for a single more voice actor to be included. It seems like VAs are basically forced to sell their voice to AI companies quickly to at least make a quick buck before they never get a job again.

There’s probably no stopping it, but that made this read all the more frustrating to me.

CosmoNova,

They‘re turning the internet into a mutated form of free TV. You only get to see what they want you to see and there are ads around every corner.

Of course the goal is to make you switch to a mutated form of pay TV. You still only get to see what they want you to see but there‘s a bigger pool of crap now.

To put it bluntly: After they cornered the market, they‘re killing the internet.

CosmoNova,

This exact method is how Microsoft became a giant in the first place. They’ve been doing it for longer than I live and they’ll likely outlive me doing it.

CosmoNova,

Please don‘t call it an eco-region just because these eco wrecking saudis do.

CosmoNova,

Who cares if people talk about it when it‘s doomed to either become an unlivable hellscape or more likely never see completion because it‘s utterly infeasible? They destroy a huge area, waste billions and worst of all throw many lives into a meat grinder just to get some clout by the dumbest idiots on the planet. In the end of the day more people will dislike and look down on them for this moronic project that many knew would never work.

CosmoNova,

Bethesda has done a great deal to discourage all modding efforts for the last couple years and they‘ll continue to do so until people stop buying their broken piece of code for an excuse of software. Which might happen sooner than later because the state of their games was always highly dependent on modders to fix everything constantly and there are fewer of them every day because of Bethesda’s incredible streak of ignorant decisions.

CosmoNova,

Reminds me of the time Nintendo reported a Pokemon fan artist to authorities and they sent the japanese equivalent of a swat team, traumatising the young woman for life. Fuck the big N.

CosmoNova, (edited )

I almost want to believe they legitimately do not know nor care they‘re committing a gigantic data and labour heist but the truth is they know exactly what they‘re doing and they rub it under our noses.

CosmoNova,

We just have to look at how much the CEO and COO paid themselves last year to know the whole thing is just a huge grift.

CosmoNova,

Worth noting that BG3 was Larian‘s effort through and through. They took the initiative and asked for permission from Bioware to make another Baldur‘s Gate game and as far as I know that wasn‘t even the first time they asked. So finally after they got permission, they also had to compensate Bioware and WotC generously for the use of their IPs. It‘s kind of a rights nightmare where Larian took several big risks while WotC could just lean back and watch. And of course after BG3’s massive success, Hasbro think they struck gold when their own official DnD game is the complete opposite of BG3 in terms of monetization, popularity and critical acclaim.

So, everything considered we shouldn‘t expect greatness from this. Honestly I would be surprised if we ever actually get official announcements with working titles from half of these games before they get shut down early in production and I would be more surprised to see even a quarter of them come to life.

CosmoNova,

I’m glad to hear the community has rallied around the business, but that doesn’t excuse Tesla from bilking them.

Exactly. Excuses like these are just a stone throw away from “You should pay Tesla to give your business work. Just think of the expose you get!” rhetoric. Tesla is essentially riding into the sunset on the back of the wonderful community that came in to show support for a local business. It’s a happy end only in spite of Teslas awful role in it.

CosmoNova,

Are Argentinians at the finding out stage of fucking around yet?

CosmoNova,

This is what anti NATO sentiment gets you. It‘s not like China just started supporting Russia‘s invasion. They‘ve been working together from the very start and quite openly. But after Trump‘s rambling they now feel confident enough to show it plainly at a UN meeting.

I mean just late last year, Xi met with Biden in a historic visit, promising more cooperation and it took Trump a couple of minutes to reverse these efforts. Not like Xi could‘ve been trusted, but there was at least hope he could somewhat be contained, China being highly dependent on global relations and all. That‘s off the table now. Looks like we got another crazy dictator on the loose now.

Mimimimi (feddit.de) German

FDP blockiert alles was nicht bei drei auf den Bäumen ist egal ob sie es mit erarbeitet und angeschoben haben und wundert sich dann darüber dass die Bundesregierung keine Berechenbarkeit ausstrahlt. “Leidet im besonderen Maße unter der Unbeliebtheit der Regierung” my ass, da selbst von den Leuten die diese Regierung mal...

CosmoNova,

Ich finde die Ampel sogar recht berechenbar. Das liegt zu nicht kleinen Teilen am ständigen Blockieren der FDP, die einfach nicht aus der Rolle einer elendig jammernden Oppositionspartei herauswachsen konnte. Egal worauf die Koalition sich mutmaßlich einigt, man kann darauf vertrauen, dass der Lindner es am nächsten Tag kritisiert und sich querstellt. Danach kann man die Uhr stellen.

CosmoNova,

A whole bunch of assumptions with not a lot to back it up there. Who exactly says Chinese semiconductors and AI are world class all of the sudden? The source they linked doesn‘t imply any of that. It states a couple of traitors to the free world support the Chinese genocide with a couple billion. That‘s pretty vile but hardly makes China a powerhouse in those fields. It‘s a band-aid fix to a broken leg.

CosmoNova,

Election year in the US and EU while Russia is invading a neighbor and China possibly preparing to do the same. There couldn‘t have been a worse time for LLMs to be so accessible, capable and fairly unregulated. The perfect conditions to make this year the worst for internet content we‘ve ever seen. By a landslide. We will look at the last 10 years and feel nostalgic on how good these years were with their little bot armies, cute clickbait and adorable fake news.

CosmoNova,

German here. There is no labor shortage, just a shortage of decent job offerings because lo behold employers are stingy.

CosmoNova,

‘pay for privacy’ is a hoax and I don’t even think Facebook has ever refered to their premium plan as such. It’s just a really shitty adblocker that they excpect people to pay for. Your data will still be tracked and processed as normal. It was only media that claimed it had anything to do with privacy in the first place.

CosmoNova,
  1. There’s a reject all button on every cookie banner.

Most importantly, those banners should be streamiled to look the same at the very least. No highlighing “ACCEPT ALL” while graying out “reject all” nonsense. No swapping the buttons left and right, top to bottom trickery. I’d prefer if the browser takes care of it all, though. I’m already using a plugin for that, though it comes with draw backs.

CosmoNova,

Expecting a lot of these kinds of headlines to follow the next couple of months.

Unity ...It Just Keeps Get Worse (youtu.be)

To say it’s been a bad week for Unity is the understatement of 2023. First they announced a terrible new Pricing scheme, then their customers revolted, as the week goes on though, it gets worse and worse for Unity, from threats from an employee shutting down their offices, to more studios threatening to leave, to scummy secret...

CosmoNova,

One gripe I have with this video is that he said the situation at the unity office - namely the supposed death threat by an employee against their employer - was “understandable”. It absolutely isn’t understandable. No matter how shitty your tech CEO is, unless they happily throw puppies into a wood chipper in the office, death threats are definitely not understandable.

CosmoNova,

Mind you those are (at least some of) the guys that killed animation and comedy sketches on youtube because they made it necessary for videos to be 10+ minutes long to be relevant.

CosmoNova,

Da hatte die Wirtschaft in den 2010er Jahren eine goldene Zeit und CxU hat komplett versäumt das abzuschöpfen, um es in den allgemeinen Wohlstand (Infrasturkur z.B.) zu investieren. Aber da ist mal ein paar Monate eine kleine Flaute und die Union, sowie Wirtschaftsverbände maulen sofort herum. War ja zu erwarten von Club Deutscher Unternehmer, die ihre Renditen sofot gefährdet sehen, wenn die Wirtschaft für einen Moment mal nicht so wächst, wie erhofft.

CosmoNova,
