    And I am actively avoiding everything from Take-Two as a result. I won’t pay real money for slop.

    Like hiring a bunch of pro athletes and then pushing them all aside to focus on a gas guzzling robot that plays at an amateur level at best.

    Well, on the bright side, we’ll have a huge cache of free assets we can directly lift from triple-A games, given that AI work is public domain.

      I assume if they just tweak things by hand slightly then it becomes a protected derivative work. For example, if I modify Shakespeare, my modifications are protected.

        They have to tweak it more than a little bit for it to count. It has to be actually transformative, meaning it has to be changed enough that it no longer serves the same function, something not easily achieved with a texture, sound or 3d model without effectively doing the whole thing by hand. For comparison, in your Shakespeare example, changing a few words here or there isn’t enough. You would have to nearly completely rewrite anything that you would want to copyright.

    If it’s anything like the thousands of pilots and implementations in my company, only like 2 actually made it to production use.

      If you listen to the ai-bad crowd, screw science.

      You can just skip the experimentation and go directly to conclusions. Testing things is for idiots, the real enlightened among us already have the conclusion, they just need to gather the right observations to prove themselves right.

        If you listen to the ai-good crowd, screw economics.

        You can just skip the market outcomes and go directly to assertions. Selling things is for idiots, the real enlightened among us already have the conclusion, they just need to gather the right investments to prove themselves right.

          You’re murdering that strawman, bud.

          You’re attacking the AI bubble, and investments in the services side of things that exceed the revenue that they’re producing. Yeah, the investment in LLMs that NVIDIA is the center of are dumb and a bubble.

          The topic of the post, top comment and my reply is about the experimenting with AI in pilot programs. The post is full of people attacking Take-Two for trying AI, which is what I’m replying to.

          You’re over here attacking AI companies for investing in a technology that nobody is using (other than Take-Two, apparently) as if that argument has anything to do with the topic at all.

        I dont need the scientific method not to stick my hand in fire.

        And I’ve used AI. Its shit. It don’t work. It makes pure nonsense.

    I will never forgive them for what they did to the Kerbal franchise.

    Not a single cent to them, until they either release a worthy sequel, or sell off the rights for cheap to someone who will.

        Yeah, I’m aware. Also the new project by harvester is pretty cool. I was hinting at T2 selling rights to either of them (although I think harvester doesn’t want to do KSP anymore).

      Are those numbers accurate? The latest release I’m seeing on that page is listed as being in 1997.

        It’s multi studio, multi publisher corporation, they don’t publish or do anything by themselves anymore. The guy knows shit, he is on his yacht and probably doesn’t play games or even use computer.
