I guess it's probably about to get an order of magnitude worse and the only way to navigate it will be crowdsourcing, but the gaming world already feels much like people are prompting their way to releasing games. Remember the days when there were only dozens or hundreds of games released per year? What seems crazy to me is that although most of them have very low-quality assets, there's so many actually playable and working games which are more or less fully realized, at least to the point that they have entire communities. I guess that's a testament to the ease of game creation with some of these engines.

The interesting AI-related question to me is whether it's going to increase or decrease average quality. TBH I think it might actually increase it, because so many of these games are so half-assed. At minimum it should make them prettier.

Agents don't cause attacks. People running agents do.

The people who ran the agents were negligent at best but I have an alternate theory.

If they knew the technology could go sideways and hack things then they effectively executed those hacks intentionally.

If not they are only negligently ignorant which is not generally a crime in this context.

They like it when they are the ones with exclusive access because they feel special.

They don't like it otherwise but rapidly forget they paid to be fucked over.

Go back further and you'll see he wasn't like that until Obama got elected.

Racism broke his brain.

Also the entire GTA series is filled with games that people tend to replay so it's an relevant objection in this story

Validate my claim? Learn to internet, noob.

They've told us it's going to require a connection.

That is pretty fucking weird, what better way to convince PC users to cancel your service?

I thought you could stream the Xbox service to PC. Did I imagine that or ate they just not going to allow PC users to stream this title?

In fact it is true.

I know your cowardly asses modded me down. You can't fight anyone who can fight back, only children who can't stop you from raping them.

"You are a rather solipsistic fellow aren't you? You never got on or off a bus in the dark so no one does."

Literally the opposite of what I said. Are you having Gemini write your comments?

I have a set of 5 Echo Dots around the house and ever since I "upgraded to Alexa+" -- it's a train-wreck. Sure, the AI gives much smarter answers to questions. But they continuously forget my preferences for the voice I chose for them to use. (My wife and I both prefer their "female 2, relaxed" voice, as most similar to the original and more "professional" sounding than the others.) But no, it keeps going back to a voice that sounds like a bubbly, annoying teenage girl. Worse yet, there's no way to set a voice as default for all devices. You have to go around changing it for each one independently.

And that's before all the creepy, info-stealing behavior it has. EG. Someone will come over and ask it a few questions. Next thing you know, it's asking them to share their name since it's a voice they don't recognize.

Why would you care?

And how does DST help anyway? My kids schools all started at different times. I'm pretty sure they re-used the same busses. The bus would pick up the first group of kids and take them to high school, then come back and pick up the junior high kids, then come back and pick up the middle school kids, then come back and pick up the elementary school school kids. DST was of no use whatsoever in knowing what time any given bus was going to pick up my kid or what time any given school started or ended classes.

And now that my kid has graduated, I don't have any reason to care about what time any school in my district is open, let alone anywhere else in the world. I can't figure out why you care about what time some random school in some random part of the world is open. The vast majority of people in the world at any given time do not have school age children.

I don't know the protocol but old phone headsets had a 2.5 or 3.5mm jack with an extra ring that got you play/pause/hook/next/last.

Hypothetically that could have been implemented. I had a collection of Alexas that got binned as soon as they got caught spying for police so I never got that far. ESP32 is better for nerds anyway.

One thing Australia does right is a statute naming removal of features as a violation of contract requiring full refunds in these circumstances.
