@geez_so_cool@MiddlecottIsMe Gotta start somewhere but morality is still a thing. Us esports orgs are leading examples to many kids. We dont wanna enforce these things on them. Look at social media infouence and lets do better as a sector.
✨We are excited to open-source Tencent HY-Motion 1.0, a billion-parameter text-to-motion model built on the Diffusion Transformer (DiT) architecture and flow matching. Tencent HY-Motion 1.0 empowers developers and individual creators alike by transforming natural language into high-fidelity, fluid, and diverse 3D character animations, delivering exceptional instruction-following capabilities across a broad range of categories. The generated 3D animation assets can be seamlessly integrated into typical 3D animation pipelines.🎮🎥
Highlights:
🔹Billion-Scale DiT: Successfully scaled flow-matching DiT to 1B+ parameters, setting a new ceiling for instruction-following capability and generated motion quality.
🔹Full-Stage Training Strategy: The industry’s first motion generation model featuring a complete Pre-training → SFT → RL loop to optimize physical plausibility and semantic accuracy.
🔹Comprehensive Category Coverage: Features 200+ motion categories across 6 major classes—the most comprehensive in the industry, curated via a meticulous data pipeline.

And they cant host a proper fucking worlds tournament btw @iTzSTU4RT. Such a shame they directed the money grabz and did not funnel it into esports like LoL.
Guess how much Riot Games made from its mobile games in 2025?!
💰 League of Legends: Wild Rift: $67.4m
💰 Teamfight Tactics: $33.7m
💰 Legends of Runeterra: $3.5m
💰 Golden Spatula: $2.6m
we cannot keep having this discussion where the end point is "hire humans instead".
if that is the only critique you can offer, then you're easily rebuffed by the thousands of years of technological advancement eliminating jobs. successive advancements have made the artistic methods of past generations "obsolete"; the technique and brush strokes of the renaissance painter will be of little value to them in the modern job market. why would now be where the line is drawn?
there is a difference between a piece of media and Art. when someone looks at, for example, a splash art for a league of legends champion; are they engaging with it as Art? is there an emotional, social, philosophical etc. exploration of any kind on behalf of the audience? maybe for some, but its hard for me to believe that its treated with an analogous attitude to that of something in the lourve. does an advert for McDonald's need to be made by a human? is it Art? or is it a piece of media, a commodity, who's provenance is irrelevant?
these are the questions that capital asks. and if there is a perception that the media you're producing is not considered Art, that it is not being intellectually investigated, then why on earth would you spend more money than you need to produce it?
players don't see AAA games as Art, they dislike Ai because people will lose there jobs and that's bad. but will it meaningfully affect the way they engage with the game? until that changes, then cost cutting will always be the smarter choice for the business. and I hate that so much
