One example: Procedural generation and generative AI will solve problems like repetitive or non context sensitive NPC dialog. A big studio has the money to pay voice actors to record thousands of phrases. A small indie studio does not.

It's not just about generating maps. There is so much more possibilities that without generative techniques, would be too cost prohibitive for smaller studios.

One of the best uses for generative AI will be in video games. And it'll enable indie developers to build much more. Indie developers who, at least initially, will present much higher quality games without all the usual bullshit that comes with AAA studios.

I think for those who enjoy video games, this is going to enable a lot more competition. Great for us players, but the AAA studios can't see past a quarter or two. They merely salivate at laying off tonnes of staff, use AI to push out mediocre brand-related nonsense, while new, smaller indie studios push out far bigger projects than they were ever capable of.

I think we're going to enter into a golden age for a while. Then the Indies will become the new monsters and get greedy and go public and enshittification will happen. But at least there will be a few years or more of some incredible things, things not coming from EA, Paradox, Epic, Bethesda, Ubisoft, etc etc etc

The bill is limited and well defined. So you can get into trouble for advocating genocide. What civilized society wouldn't do such a thing?

Frankly this isn't egregious. Only the paranoid who get their Canadian news from Rebel News will think otherwise,.and continue to throw their support to the party that wants to implement a digital id just to access Reddit.

And those Americans surely demanded more for their labor. The illegal immigrants are in a far more precarious situation and so won't make as many demands.

It's not about what work Americans want or don't want, it's about how shareholder value not rising as quickly because of labor costs.
