What extreme office activities are you doing that you would suffer from motion sickness?

As much as I’m an advocate for VR I don’t think I’d want to spend 8 hours in a rig. I look like I’ve been wearing ski goggles as it is and that’s only after two or three hours.

I was going to say his vitamin D intake is at least taken care of.

If I had that many screens I would at least put everything in dark mode.

I refuse to believe that this setup is actually efficient. You cannot possibly actually need that much information on screen at the same time. I think Houston mission control has less going on than this.

This is just having a lot of screens for the sake of it.

I think you can enable something where you can press control and it will put a big circle around your cursor but it’s not enabled by default which is stupid and it’s not obvious because it’s a random keyboard key.

That’s my problem with this idea. As a game developer I want every aspect of my game to be defined I don’t want some rogue element doing random things that I cannot predict or account for.

Randomly generated mysteries actually doing exist (obviously it’s not actually random it’s just picking from a list of possible choices).

It’s a very small game though only a few city blocks but it can generate some interesting cases. I had one case where the cop who found the body turned out to be the actual murderer, which is honestly quite clever, I’ve also never had it do that again.

Hopefully somebody further down can tell you what the game is because I’m at work and I can’t remember its name

Like the article says it seems really weird decision for a multiplayer game.

It seems like the worst of both worlds between just letting players guide each other and having a tutorial. All the downsides of unreliable individuals giving unreliable information (in humans for the sake of amusement, and in the AIs because of hallucinations) while simultaneously lacking the limited progression path and handholding of a guided tutorial.

How Square Enix and the minds behind Gemini plan to limit and “guide” what the AI can and cannot say remains uncertain, and specific details regarding exactly how this will all work have yet to be shared.

From the article it sounds like that’s exactly what they are doing. Just having an interface in the game straight through to Gemini.

I think these lot of part of a separate intake. They are struggling to meet their quotas so they have to take anyone that turns up. They have basically lowered the entry requirements at this point to “can, with guidance, handle simultaneous walking and spitting”.

I object to your objection that I’m not allowed to bully bullies just because apparently they were bullied as children. So what they are been bullies now, they need to learn that that behaviour is not acceptable and if they continue like that then they are going to have to face the consequences of that decision.

I’m not asking whether the game was successful I’m asking if it was well received. Did people enjoy the AI integration did they think it added something to the game or would they have preferred the game not to have it.

As a game developer I would be extremely uncomfortable with the idea that my characters could just say whatever.

Well as long as they were slightly upset as children I guess it’s okay for them to be murderous bastards now. I totally withdraw all objections.

The fact that I have no idea what you’re talking about it’s kind of my point really. There has been no successful AI game.

I have an extremely expensive smart TV that probably cost around £4,000 (I didn’t buy it so I don’t know what the actual price tag was) and it’s UI is awful because of stuff like this and it’s all stupid. It has an app, it’s a TV, I already have a method of controlling it why do I need an app?

As a result it’s purely a media streaming platform I don’t use any of its smart features. It’s just hoocked up to a mini PC and it’s just been a display.

Has there been a single game ever released that has used AI and it been well received? I should really get into being a c-suite exec. It would be easy, I could turn up to work absolutely shitfaced and still do a more competent job.

I think local illumination is probably going to be more of a problem than reflected light of a satellite.

It’s either data centres in space or giant mirrors to reflect sunlight.

Presumably his engineers have explained this to him but he didn’t listen

It’s the bullies that join up. The ones that like hurting people the ones that get off on it.
