It's cool how we keep proving over and over and over again that there's a significant market for narrative-heavy, character-driven, single-player experiences in video games and publishers just categorically refuse to believe us

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.

Here's the scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

AI can be a useful tool, if used sustainably, ethically, and selectively.

im also at a crossroads with it, because vocaloids didn't replace singers, and have found a way to coexist. i strongly fear capitalism will ruin AI on the path that it's on now, but (real) art usually prevails

dynamic voice lines are tough and historically expensive, and when done "the old way" you get a lot of immersion-breaking repeat lines. im all for finding a solution to make it easier + cheaper to do, while also making sure actors arent pushed out of their jobs and the environment isn't lit on fire.

the problem with being fully anti-anything artificial intelligence is that it isn't specific enough to target the actual harm, imo

i really wanna know the details, because from your description this tells me it isn't a cloud based LLM or gen AI system, which are the real culprits. feels more like applying an FX chain?

i agree they should hire actors instead of doing it in house, but im cautiously intrigued.

i actually didn't know this part, that's very interesting and falls a bit more into a grey area for me.

this is reminiscent of people complaining about "autotune" when folks have been using melodyne/pitch correction for decades now and people have had no idea. it cuts comping time in half.

Here is where the bubble dynamics get complicated. Tech firms don’t want to formally take on debt—that is, directly ask investors for loans—because debt looks bad on their balance sheets and could reduce shareholder returns. To get around this, some are partnering with private-equity titans to do some sophisticated financial engineering, Paul Kedrosky, an investor and a financial consultant, told us. These private-equity firms put up or raise the money to build a data center, which a tech company will repay through rent. Data-center leases from, say, Meta can then be repackaged into a financial instrument that people can buy and sell—a bond, in essence. Meta recently did just this: Blue Owl Capital raised money for a massive Meta data center in Louisiana by, in essence, issuing bonds backed by Meta’s rent. And multiple data-center leases can be combined into a security and sorted into what are called “tranches” based on their risk of default. Data centers represent an $800 billion market for private-equity firms through 2028 alone. (Meta has said of its arrangement with Blue Owl that the “innovative partnership was designed to support the speed and flexibility required for Meta’s data center projects.”)

For gamers who aren't in game dev, you should know that we are in one of the worst periods in game dev history in terms of industry stability and the reason you're not seeing that play out through products is because the average development window of games is 3-7 years so it hasn't reached you yet.
