AI being used in the traditional video game sense here like enemy pathing and logic and such not stupid gpt garbage

Sunder @sunder.bsky.social · 2d

they should make a purely co-op moba vs computers with an unreasonable amount of AI difficulty levels so you can enjoy that sweet spot of not-a-steamroll-but-not-a-toxic-mess gameplay that only exists at your exact skill level

When you say this, what I hear is "3D TVs and NFTs are here to stay"

Jason Blum says Hollywood should 'embrace AI' and viewers 'don't care if what they’re looking at is AI"

"it’s here to stay. It’s very important to use it ethically and legally, and for studios and guilds to protect the copyright of the artists"

you (and I..) gotta just go small scale and finish something, better to get reps than agonize over doing the most satisfying and best thing on the first try

I bought a 10 dollar crunchy-ass indie game with PSX visuals and a killer setting and concept and it just... wasn't fun. this has never happened to me before I have no clue how to feel

Sunder @sunder.bsky.social · 6d

this is mostly how I felt while playing the demo, it's got sauce and is very satisfying when it hits but I rarely felt like I had set up the pins to be knocked down rather than crossed my fingers and things just worked out. in that sense it very much emulates slot machines at least

I was talking about this with a friend and we were talking about the like theoretical "LLM Skyrim" and I said, if it ever works on a large scale AAA, it will only work once because the next time around they will realize, as they play a completely different game, that the dialog is still the same.

it's gonna be great in five years when the novelty wears off and everyone realizes LLMs just produce the same things over and over

forever late but I rolled epilogue in hades (1) and it's actually kind of unreal how much sauce the supergiant devs have

is this good

LLMs, he argues, already are at the scaling limits. “We don’t know exactly when LLMs might hit diminishing returns hard, because we don’t have a measure of the statistical complexity of language. To find out whether we have hit a wall we have to watch the LLM developers. If they release a model that cost 10x more, likely using 20x more compute than the previous one, and it’s not much better than what’s out there, then we’ve hit a wall,” he says.

And that’s what has happened: ChatGPT-3 cost $50 million, ChatGPT-4 cost $500 million and ChatGPT-5, costing $5 billion, was delayed and when released wasn’t noticeably better than the last version. It’s also easy for competitors to catch up.

“So, in summary; you can’t create an app with commercial value as it is either generic (games etc), which won’t sell, or it is regurgitated public domain (homework), or it is subject to copyright. It’s hard to advertise effectively, LLMs cost an exponentially larger amount to train each generation, with a rapidly diminishing gain in accuracy. There’s no moat on a model, so there’s little pricing power. And the people who use LLMs the most are using them to access compute that costs the developer more to provide than their monthly subscriptions,” he says.
