Meh. There really isn‘t a lot there. The short film mentioned has largely been regarded as a complete flop with no critical acclaim whatsoever. It‘s regarded so bad it’s essentially a meme. A real slop fest.

As for copyright: Using models trained on copyrighted material is more of a gray area than being explicitly allowed. They literally mention the act went active in 2019. That is before the rise of AI. So if anything they‘re just really behind the curve and not so much embracing technology.

This reminds me of the saying that Japan has been in the year 2000 for the past 40 years. Some older folks somehow still think it‘s some futuristic paradise for sci-fi nerds when that hasn‘t been the case for over 20 years.

That‘s the critical one. It‘s not about budget or outsourcing or whatever. It comes down to who makes the decisions and why. In a lot of cases it‘s people with a finance background who couldn‘t care less about the medium they‘re working with and that can be a major issue. Gaming being a bigger industry than music and film combined has attracted a lot of people who only think in dollar bills and it shows. Luckily however, there are still a lot of passionate teams with leaders who have a love for games.

This from a company that‘s supposed to teach you languages… I am laughing out loud.

I want to believe this is just s straw man argument but sadly I know there are enough jerks out there who absolutely call everything that doesn’t cater precisely to toxic masculinity wOkE.

I think it‘s a bit of a bummer that the ending of Witcher 3 that does make the most sense in-universe isn‘t canon in favor of what I think is pure fan service. I will probably still play the shit out of this though because all of their games have been hitters for me. Even Cyberpunk at launch. Even Witcher 1.

That’s good news. Internet archiving is an important endeavor because you never know when they‘ll pull the plug. Now it‘s a little more secured and probably far more useful than in Discord‘s hands alone.

It’s what eroding the education system over decades, a pandemic, fake news and the rise of AI does to a generation.

There’s a blind spot in your argument though. They shipped out everything they could before tariffs hit. Doesn‘t mean they produced all of that recently. They very likely slowed down production a while ago because of these economic uncertainties and instead focused on getting as much out of the country as possible of what they still had laying around. So yes the economy could make an unexpected jump before sliding down quickly. It‘s a bad thing for the economy mid term.

He says a lot of nonsense. Frankly I don‘t think I‘ve ever heard him say anything smart or correct or not pathetically petty. This however takes the cake.

I fear for the near future. Hell I fear for the present.

Yep because in the end you‘ll believe in something regardless and that something is whatever sits right with you more often than not.

Italy is the host and she represents Italy. I guess she‘ll also aid her colleague when things get uncomfortable. Her colleague being Vance of course.

No. Not necessarily but the internet will become worse nonetheless.
