@TrumpAccounts could become of the greatest investments for lower income kids in the history of the United States if it continues to be supported over time and even more tax incentives for contributions are created over time for parents and local/state governments

@noodlesinspacex @bbreisch26 D3FEND CAD now has a new pathfinder tool thanks to the great @wikipunk , here is a simple demo, though much more complex path finding.

Holy fuck guys we’re not "pushing hard" for or replacing concept artists with AI.

We have a team of 72 artists of which 23 are concept artists and we are hiring more. The art they create is original and I’m very proud of what they do.

I was asked explicitly about concept art and our use of Gen AI. I answered that we use it to explore things. I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art. The artists do that. And they are indeed world class artists.

We use AI tools to explore references, just like we use google and art books. At the very early ideation stages we use it as a rough outline for composition which we replace with original concept art. There is no comparison.

I talked about how we use ML here if you would like to know more:

We've hired creatives for their talent, not for their ability to do what a machine suggests, but they can experiment with these tools to make their lives easier.

Divinity being turn based is the best news of the week!

I think my personal benchmark for a next generation AI is going to be constructing a novel and competitive magic deck that no one saw coming

Game of the year for me is Death Stranding 2 and it’s not even close

The volume of AI videos being shared as if they were authentic is quite impressive

I really like the new Avatar set in MTG, but the USA print quality is so bad in my experience it has really made it feel like a complete waste of money. Comparing it to FF cards printed in Japan I think the final product is an insult to the game designers and artists at Wizards.

[Adrian Medina @wikipunk]

Really enjoyed the Avatar prerelease gameplay wise. Is it just me or is the printing quality of the cards kinda bad? Weirdly dark and uneven.

[Adrian Medina @wikipunk]

Was it intentional in One Battle After Another to suggest that there is a shadow war between violent terrorists organizing a mass conspiracy of illegal immigration and white supremacists? It doesn’t seem like either side in its diegesis is very sympathetic. Is that the point?

[Adrian Medina @wikipunk]

Indeed, I wonder if such an ontology can even be designed; or if it too must be evolved.

[Adrian Medina @wikipunk]

The assembly language for an LLM frontend to the ultimate compiler will be defined by an ontology we haven’t designed yet.

I wonder when AI will learn how to have fun
