  • Plenty of games has that problem without IA. And i’m guessing we aren’t gonna restrict ourselves to hardware, the majority of games already doesn’t care to take a lot of space and graphic processing.

    That said NPCs in a game doing various actions using the simplest language model has been done quite some time ago. But it wasn’t actually used more than as a novelty. Maybe later idk.

    For dialogue i agree that it takes to much time to respond, at least for now. But i think it doesn’t really has to be done in real time, it can just be created beforehand.

    And that’s true in general, we probably are restricted to use it in the creation process now.

    What’s probably the most useful would be on asset generation, since that’s one of the most time consuming part in game dev.

    I’d guess especially for all the random generated games that would be amazing too at some point.

    Recently for example we’ve seen ai be able to create very good looking videos. And the technics they use for image consistency includes thinking about the object as 3d ones.

    For now though it’s mostly used for interpolation, creating images between two existing ones to get more fps and fluid movement, pretty effective.

    Another one i’ve also seen it used is for lighting, the process being pretty calculation heavy it can really help. That’s mostly useful for the prebaked light that’s created once and then stored. But i think it will be very useful for dynamic lighting one day, i feel it’s not that far either.



  • Yeah, the net is really a good way to learn about IT and most things related, the amount of good sources makes it really easy to just self-teach.

    I often found it easier than to rely on finding a good teacher. Some lectures or materials from prestigious schools are even online.

    Your right the future seems to hold some golden technology still. I’m really waiting to see how AI will be implemented in games for example.


  • I think it did change me yes, it made me grow in a way i wouldn’t otherwise. Helped me with my emotions and empathy in a way i wouldn’t have found around me.

    And that’s the thing, making communication or information easier to get also forces you into discovery. Laziness, at least in that regard, is well anchored in our nature too. I could have learn though books or teachers, but there’s plenty i’m pretty sure i wouldn’t have.

    An ironic example is programming, if i only had the programming course i’ve had in the first year of college i probably wouldn’t have learned much, it was boring as hell. But i learned programming by myself the summer before, with a c++ tutorial and the intent on creating 2d games. And that was extremely fun for me, to the point i took more courses on the topic later on for my own studies in maths.

    Yeah i really can’t bring myself to understand what it was like back when drive where 10mb or less. Any software now is so much bigger it’s crazy. Latest thing i remember is downloading film with torrent and how slow that was. I’m pretty sure my 4G is faster almost in the same order of magnitude.

    I mean, don’t you think the use of our tools can shape who you are as a person? It changes our experience of the world, our knowledge, it’s definitely a part of our construction as individuals.

    I said and done things i wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for some stranger on the internet changing mind on something.

    All the things i learned thanks to the internet definitely made me a better person overall. And it definitely could make you a bad person too.

    And yes i wasn’t quite there before the internet but as a science nerd i’m so impressed by how far we’ve got, from the logic and punch cards to internet now. Reducing the size of transistors to nanometer was a crazy journey. There’s definitely reasons to be proud.

    And i’m really looking forward what AI can do, the latest videos of two minute papers on sora just made my mind blown.

    Sure it doesn’t change our nature. But i don’t think our nature is the only factor in how our society evolve. It’s not the only thing that matters to us anymore, i wouldn’t be able to talk to you let alone read (i haves glasses). Most of the things we do aren’t natural.

    Now sure AI isn’t really intelligent let alone conscious. But it is such a tool that impacted a lot industry and our daily lives. Writing or art, gaming, programming, all changed to some extent. And it seems to still have a long way to go.

    Now of course it will not change that much on its own, but in the future alongside with everything else we’re going to invent, i think it will make things change, like previous invention made our modern society.

    You don’t see how tech is the only reason for the world changing like it does recently?

    Internet and digital tech for exemple, is what made Google, Amazon or Facebook…

    Their capital didn’t came from just the guys running things, pretty far from it. Without them their company would still exist, just with a different name and guy at the top, they would give the same service.

    What created those company and the capital is what was invented and developed by programmers and scientists.

    And only profit is driving it, not any one person.

    Today what is changing things repeatedly is digital techniques like AI.

    And let’s be honest gafa aren’t the one chosing to invest, they just know if it’s not them the opportunity to make billions will be to someone else, it’s just reality of technical advancement.

    And that’s what changed our society, always has been. Same could be said about coal, electricity and petrol, cars…

    The market just follows the flow of technology, and the problem is that it doesn’t care for people in the process, you just can’t miss an opportunity.

    P.S. I’d also argue it change a lot about US in some sens, it changed our vision of the world, our culture and our way to interact.

    That’s a pretty valid point of view. You’re right on the fact most are corruptible by power, so i personally wouldn’t blame individuals, i only blame the system.

    And it’s true the better systems didn’t last… Doesn’t mean we can’t try to improve ever so slightly.

    Now i’m not sure how much we can learn from history though.

    The problem is that our paradigm is changing much too fast alongside our technology.

    So i think we can’t really predict what the gamble of technology will give us next.

    Might be bad, might be good, or something just different, but i bet we will be extremely surprised by how fast change will come.

    Society start to become unwell only when the few “monsters” get power, especially in a unbalanced way.

    And yes some have and always will try to get it, but i don’t think it’s very relevant here…

    Capitalism is a very powerful way for them to use our economic system to get their power, hence why it’s a problem in itself.

    And that’s also why we could have hope for a system where they can’t get power. Democracy is one solution, although limited, for example.







  • Do you think it’s false? Because unless you don’t get it i’m not sure i’m interested in formulating logically a trivia.

    And it’s not always a problem. When is it not, only if it’s balanced by making a plus-value on that work. And of course if its done within some ethical rules. (For exemple no slavery.) That plus-value is what’s better for moderately rich people who can create jobs and services without the problems that most very rich creates…

    I think all the services you quoted would have been implemented either way. Some like cars for example might have been at the expense of better ways. An exemple is how, in the us, highways replaced the railroad system for profit.

    In general, the way they implemented those solutions was through corruption like that and unethical work condition. (And it goes beyond the service they got rich on, to what they are doing currently too)

    Moreover this idea of selling things at the (highest) price people are willing to buy is a great factor in creating many of thoses problems.

    It’s the same logic that makes work conditions unethical. That includes using worker in other countries wich conditions are literally considered unethical in the country the goods are sold. But to a lesser degree also the bad conditions of work in many field.

    Taking healthcare as a exemple, how do you expect a nurse to sell her work at a higher price. If you want a nurse to give the best service to society or even be ethical, you can’t raise the price?

    So it goes either way, either healthcare become expensive. Or like in my country, it’s free, but the conditions becomes worse and worse. Both being bad for society.

    So maybe not the goal, but a goal of society is to distribute those resources correctly. Simply because it’s necessary for us to live together.


  • Because we have limited resources, no riches can come to you without profiting of the work of others. If you really want to get your own view you can just look for yourself how rich people got their wealth and judge by yourself is that normal.

    I meant that for the extremely wealthy to be precise.

    Some moderately rich people are actually contributing positively. They are examples of what capitalism used to be, a system that wasn’t perfect but could still lead society in a positive direction, sometimes better than the alternatives.

    Redistribution of resources only works to some extent. Not to redistribute all the wealth in one go sure, but to balance the inequity continuously. For exemple taxe on income could be such a way. And like you said some rich people are ok with it and are philanthropic even.

    But the true goal of society would be to distribute riches correctly in the first place. So we don’t have to rely on philanthropy.

    And yeah i don’t think capitalism distribute it correctly. So it’s theirs in our capitalistic society, but it isn’t rightfully in my opinion.


  • My point of view is that the money all capitalist have is a resource that was taken from the rest of us. So donating all of it back would just be the bare minimum someone can do.

    After donating all of it back, you’re right we also need to figure out a plan to distribute it properly in the first place, and most important make a system and society that’s gonna provide for everyone.

    And no kidding no one found a answer to that, from the beginning of human society we only very briefly achieved some systems that’s almost there. But no one never had the answer. There is always some problems in any society.

    What i know for sure is that capitalism is not only not the answer, but is actually a system that’s getting more and more corrupted, with increasing problems. To the point it’s leading us directly to a wall.

    So in all the different view we can have of the world, all the different system we can use for society, there is no right system, there is worse than capitalism, but there is also better. I strive for not the definitive best, just better…
