I can finally announce what I've been doing the past 3(!) years...

I'm working with The LEGO Group as a consultant to share my ML experience and help them with Circular Business Models!

It's been a super interesting experience and hopefully more will be revealed in time :)

@ramblingenzyme It's OK, they've doubled down on the most important concept: UML diagrams

Just wanted to give a shout-out to @ConstructTeam Construct as a very viable option for any 2D gamedevs looking to move from Unity! The unique event sheet system especially is an excellent way for a non-programmer to code a game https://t.co/wDq6gpxWRY

Player agency, as the guiding principle for all triple-A game design, is a black hole. Something has to give, or we face artistic oblivion.

Starfield is the death of videogames as we know them.

Even just today, somebody was forced to take down their project from the internet essentially because it used AI - in reality, in a very innocuous way, but everyone is just so wary of the grifters that are around every corner now

[Daniel West @JustASquid]

This has been quite scary for me as a long-time AI developer. These controversial generative models are such a small part of the field but they dominate the conversation as of late.

if you drop a chicken cutlet on the floor it absorbs all kinds of dirt & particles that make it undesirable. Thats sort of how AI works

Super Mario Odyssey contains four central themes: Hat, Rabbits, Wedding, and Moon. Remarkably, in addition to synthesizing all four themes, the game touches on areas where a preexisting overlap between the themes can be found, filling out a diagram of thematic connections.

Put one foot in front of the other with Baby Steps from the creators of Ape Out and Getting Over It!

Take your first steps on PlayStation 5 and PC in 2024.

THE TALOS PRINCIPLE 2
We've put everything we have into this. It's not a rehash. It's not a sidequel. It's the next step forward. And it's a game that is *about* something, a game with complex, adult ideas.

didnt think ai was good until I realized it could be used to review a movie millions of times. metacritic scores with unprecedented accuracy

@larsiusprime As an ex game developer/current AI developer, IMO this implementation isn't that impressive on its own merits but it does give a good example of how easy it is to leverage LLMs to add new types of functionality to games.

@LukasGrebe Hey Lukas, unfortunately it is not open source due to an exclusive arrangement with a third party.
