I believe the implication is that the AI is doing the tedious research and the CPA leverages their experience and assesses the credibility of the AI output to make the actual decision. Whether or not this happens depends on the quality of the CPA and their knowledge that these LLMs are not magical.

Except it's not. This really is amazing news to me, and they definitely will blow a big hole in the budget gaming market.

No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.

Gamers can then share these creations with their friends, including seamless uploads to YouTube.'"

Five Days Locked in a Room With GTA IV 220

bippy writes "Five days, one game. The Rocky Mountain News has a write up of five days spent playing Grand Theft Auto IV recently in a San Francisco hotel. It ends: 'In Grand Theft Auto IV the story isn't just an amalgam of cut scenes and cleverly written dialogue, it's the experiences I create, too. It's now, watching Niko stand, his shoulders slumped, that the depth of this game finally hits me. Niko's journey, the one crafted by Rockstar, may have ended, but Niko's adventures in the story I am creating have just begun.'" The most anticipated game in a while, to be sure. I'm certainly looking forward to busting some heads and jumping ramps.

US Spies Use Custom Video Games for Training 148

Posted by Soulskill on Thursday April 24, 2008 @08:19AM from the no-idkfa-allowed dept.

Wired reports that the US Defense Intelligence Agency has just acquired three PC-based video games which they will use to train the next wave of analysts. The games are short, but they have branching story lines that change depending on how a trainee reacts to various problems. Quoting: "'It is clear that our new workforce is very comfortable with this approach,' says Bruce Bennett, chief of the analysis-training branch at the DIA's Joint Military Intelligence Training Center. Wired.com had an opportunity to play all three games, Rapid Onset, Vital Passage and Sudden Thrust. The titles may conjure images of blitzkrieg, but the games themselves are actually a surprisingly clever and occasionally surreal blend of education, humor and intellectual challenge, aimed at teaching the player how to think."
