Game of Thrones, White Lotus, Ted Lasso, Euphoria, Stranger Things, The Mandalorian... There's a lot of good TV. There's a lot of Bad TV too.

This is not true -- if you need to merge, signal and usually you'll be let in quickly. There's no need to constantly be generating noise to communicate -- you can also make eye contact and use hand signals.

Way to not understand the story at all --this isn't about notifications to some tray or whatever, this is about microsoft teams (or similar proprietary software) popping up a big modal window in front of whatever you're trying to do.

If seeing the content before purchasing is important to you, just wait, i dunno, 3 days for reviews to flood in. This seems like such a non-problem.

Why? I'm selling a license to play game X on date Y, and the promise that you'll have the materials necessary to do so on date Y. Am i being deceptive by not providing those materials before I'm contractually obligated to? Seems to me that this strategy follows exactly what they're selling -- I don't see how they're being deceptive.

If piracy is legal, it becomes very easy very quickly. What is the incentive for viewers to pay to watch a movie when they can watch the same movie without paying? Are you suggesting that the movie industry becomes a charity?

Prime Video kind of lets you do this -- you can subscribe to other services like Peacock, AppleTV, and HBO Max as "addons" to prime video. https://www.primevideo.com/add... there is some stuff missing, notably Netflix, but it comes pretty close to what you're describing.

In this fantasy world where piracy is legal and there's a single service which is free and has everything -- who pays for movies to get made? why?

Deflation is more damaging to an economy then inflation is, number go up.

This seems predicated on the assertion that AI is a public good, and not another means of centralizing power and reducing the workforce. These companies do not have your best interest at heart.

My thoughts exactly. Did we run out of robot names?

I think what gamers want is both quality and originality; there's no guarantee that non-AI content is either, but there is a guarantee that anything generated by an AI tool is derivative of it's training data (so not original), and it's very likely that corners were cut in the process of reviewing the output of the machine (so not high quality). AI generated content isn't automatically bad, but there's a very high likelihood it's boring, unoriginal, and of low quality.

The difference between Generative AI and other procedural methods of asset creation are *intent*. For instance; the planets in "No Man's Sky" are generated procedurally, and that process is deterministic and carefully designed by a group of very talented people. If I wrote a new game, and prompted some neural network "Make a bunch of planets in the style of 'No Man's Sky'. Photorealistic. Correct number of teeth.", and then shipped the output, there's no intention or originality. You haven't added anything to the world, just watered down what's there.

That's true, and that's *also* not something Anthropic wants to point out

Effective at getting the word out that Claude isn't very smart -- not a message i'm sure they'd want to send
