I think whether an AIs have a subjective experience is necessarily up in the air. But so is if a toaster has one. Because it's so completely unknowable. Until we can scientifically disprove animism, it feels like a black hole. Maybe computers can all feel, but rights for GTA characters feels mad.

Makes sense given your hats don't render in first person. Who needs the power glove when you have the subway train hat glove.

Classic 'coder got confused when rewriting the code but then decided "Screw it, it works!"'.

'eye adaptation' is probably the more standard way of phrasing the change, and has been common in all games since the advent of HDR-internal rendering (see: HL2 Lost Coast for an early example of how this looked before games got the tuning nailed down). Some modern games still have issues tho.

I feel like it reveals something about yourself that you shortened 'one million dollar' winners to '$10^6' rather than '$1m'.

Why does Gorbon Friedman look like multiplatinum artist Drake?

If they want to bang the 'sedition will be punished by death' drum I don't think they'll enjoy when it leads once the shoe is on the other foot and can be maybe be tried for that coup again.

That man just can't not look like a man who just killed their wife's beloved pet while driving home drunk. He perpetually looks like someone cornered by Chris Hansen. If we ever get a mugshot of him, it'll be hard to tell it isn't just an ordinary photo 'cuz that panicked/caught look is his default.

What an decomfortable sensation.

I'd imagine it actually uses slightly more computing power to do it this way (since you need to pass in additional vertex color information). It's going to be an infinitesimal difference though. Generally computers are highly optimised towards doing things 'the normal way'.

"Do you think it tastes as bad as it looks?"
"Buddy, I think it killed him."

It took less than a full year of Trump 2.0 for the American right to reach the 'umm acktually, it's called ephebophilia' phase of running cover for the most outrageous shit imaginable.

Yes but they fired the people who know how to use those tools months back.

They're definitely saying 'sealions', and it's a seal not an otter. But the amount of AI involved in saying it and visualising it isn't helping things.

Conceivably it could be erroneously shorthand for millimetre. But from a cursory search the caps are actually 26mm in diameter, which is 30% larger, enough to make figures useless.

That lispy nasal quality also feels like a failure for AI to nail enunciation properly. Not that lispy sounding people with inbetween accents don't exist (I'd feel crummy if I called an actual paid actor 'an AI'), but it's definitely at least suspicious given the wider context of the clearly AI vid.

Great quote but stacheless beardless Gilligan is terrifying. Like he's been replaced with a faulty clone.

Old games (and by 'old' I mean easily in the past decade) did this by having pre-made 'volumetric' meshes. Just a bunch of sunbeams you could tilt diagonally, possibly with meshes made to fit a particular window frame.
