  • Not huffing anything, strict non smoker here. I’m just working in a non games tech area and can see, how two ML OPs developers do the work of 10 engineers. Work that those engineers never wanted to do in the first place that took up the vast majority of their time and prevented them from doing their actual work, preventing catastrophic failures of large industrial factories.

    We totally agree on AI writing but there is way more than this to AI.

    And “AI bad” is en Par with “ThAt’s sOciaLiSm”. I’d rather reap the benefits and manage and regulate the risks of a new technology than to condemn it completely because I don’t like certain parts of it



  • Top-Verdiener: 23.277 Euro
    Spitzen-Verdiener: 8.359 Euro
    Gutverdiener: 5.859 Euro
    Besserverdiener: 4.071 Euro
    Normalverdiener: 3.314 Euro
    Mittelverdiener: 2.378 Euro
    Niedrigverdiener: 1.792 Euro
    Geringverdiener: 1.195 Euro
    

    Besserverdiener liegen bei 50.000€ im Jahr. Das sind z.b. Abteilungsleiter in der städtischen Verwaltung (vermutlich bundeslandabhängig). Auch nicht unbedingt fleißige Menschen, die sich das “erarbeitet” haben. Aber von diesen Menschen spricht er auch nicht. Er spricht von der oberen Kategorie, Menschen, die unverhältnismäßig viel Geld bekommen und einbilden, sie hätten dass durch ihren eigenen Einsatz verdient. Und die bekommen noch mehr Geld, wenn sich die Leute aus den anderen Kategorien mehr anstrengen.

    In einer Zeit in der selbst die hochgelobte Mittelschicht keine Häuser mehr bauen kann und eine Katastrophe von einer persönlichen Insolvenz entfernt lebt, sowas rauszuhauen, sollte eigentliche für die Rolle, die er anstrebt disqualifizieren.


  • So back when we were waiting for Guild Wars 2 to release, a youtuber named WoodenPotatoes was invited to Arenanet to review the progress. He noticed in his videos that he saw several devs working on animations that were really not that important but would be immediately be noticed missing. His example was drawing and stowing weapons. With 5 races am a good dozen weapons this took an incredible amount of time. Now imagine that you can train an AI to do this and only have animators polish the result. A lot of time saved for more important stuff.

    You think a game has not enough models or all the faces look alike? Not enough hair? Let an AI take care of that and have designers polish the result.

    The forest doesn’t look organic and too constructed? Have an AI naturally grow the forest. Wait, there are plenty of games already doing that. When CEOs talk about speeding up game development they don’t mean to push out generic games fully developed by AI (well some might mean that) but to tackle the aspect of game development that slow the entire process down but not adding quality.

    Given that Starfield took what? 8 years to development and resulted in a (according to the internet pretty bad) generic aged science fiction RPG. I’d prefer some AI supported development when the overall quality increases and AAA game development is not longer a decade long project.

    There is plenty of bad things to say about AI but it does offer improvements.
