Je n'en peux plus de voir de l'IA générative partout 😐

Regardez-moi ces "dessins".

Il est devenu impossible d'effectuer une recherche web sans tomber sur ce genre de truc approximatif, bancal, qui déforme le réel et détruit les métiers de l'illustration.

#IA

Visuel montrant 4 illustrations de coccinelles qui ont l'air d'avoir été peintes à l'aquarelle. Le texte dit : "Elles sont jolies, ces illustrations, non ? Elles sont jolies, oui... Mais c'est du grand n'importe quoi généré par IA."

Visuel montrant les 4 mêmes illustrations de coccinelles, avec un texte disant :"Quand on y regarde de plus près, il n'y a rien qui va : Face blanche inexistante chez cette espèce, la coccinelle à 7 points, un individu représenté avec 7 pattes, un autre avec 6 ou 12 points, d'autres avec un nombre de tarses faux, etc. Le texte précise "je n'ai même pas assez de place pour indiquer tous les problèmes".

"Si on tient un peu à la réalité,
Si on tient un peu à la rigueur scientifique,
Si on tient un peu aux personnes
qui exercent le métier d’illustrateur·rice
(au passage : être illustrateur·rice scientifique, ce n’est pas juste
“savoir dessiner”, c’est aussi avoir une *connaissance* de ses sujets),
...
Alors svp, arrêtons de promouvoir et d’utiliser l’IA générative."

Seeming as it's big game list day, here's my personal top ten games of all time.

1. The Long Dark

This game makes me feel things. I've never -been- in a video game space in the same way as this one. a masterclass in survival mechanics done right.

Looking forward to play Streets of Fortuna, that's the kind of proc gen game I've always be interested in.

www.pcgamer.com/games/founde...

Founder of Dwarf Fortress and Caves of Qud publisher Kitfox Games says its procgen sims for sickos are 'giving storytelling tools back to the people when games and passive media took them away'

Streets of Fortuna, Kitfox's own in-development "megasim," is chasing that same systems-driven storytelling.

today's software preservation task

one of the great crimes of the 21st century was that Mark Jones' (Core Design) Darkmere - an isometric adventure-RPG for the amiga - was poorly visually documented by the usual places like lemonamiga/mobygames/etc.

The wizard gildor, sitting in a stone throne, gazing into a crystal ball as electricity comes out of it.

A forest scene with a massive skull cavern, in greens and greys.

A comfy interior of a home, with a large wall fireplace and hearth; a fire burns cheerfully within it. In front of the fire sleeps a tan dog, alongside a human skull.

Around the room, torches burn.

A waterfall flows quickly along a river, spilling its water onto the rocks below. The forest around it is full of gnarly, friendly trees.

Trois expériences (n = 3285) montrent que les gens préfèrent interagir avec des modèles d'IA flagorneurs plutôt qu'avec des chatbots désagréables qui remettent en question leurs croyances, ce qui accentue les attitudes extrêmes et l'excès de confiance.

Anyone turned their main computer to Linux? I'd really want to do this. Right now I have an older computer running Fedora to experiment how easy or not it is to run my regular apps, my next main computer may be Linux only.

All I saw was cheesecake boat and ocean for at least 5 minutes

Photo of a missing slice of cheesecake that looks like a cheesecake hull floating in a deep blue ocean. The "ocean" is actually the blueberry topping on the large cheesecake that we don't see completely.

Black-and-white-casqued hornbill (female) made with black and white charcoal on toned paper. I was interested in their beaks that, while not flashy and colorful like other hornbills, have a color and texture that reminded me of worn wood.
