The Genie Is Out Of The Bottle

[Pan Darius Cassandra]

I've been telling you ppl for a while that Larian doesn't have time to create another game - whether it's DoS 3 or BG4 or anything else.

No one does. The Genie is out of the bottle.

Hey, OP? I have an exciting investment opportunity for you. You seem like a cool guy so when I say this is a steal you'd better believe it. Are you ready? You, yes YOU, could be the owner of a LOVELY bridge, a historical and invaluable structure in the heart of town, for only fifty thousand dollars (plus tax). Doesn't that seem exciting? And I'm willing to sell it to you because I trust you to take care of it. What do you say, Y/y?

Thank you techbro, we're all fascinated I'm sure. Now scurry off.

We get it, you don't like BG3. It doesn't mean you have to peddle garbage to try and validate your opinion to other people.

Do it with an M. C. Escher painting and I might be impressed.

AI-Generated Games Are Starting To Appear On Steam (And It's Not Going Well)
Most PC players seemed to reject the puzzle game, but the developers aren't deterred

Enter This Girl Does Not Exist, a recent Steam game with simple puzzle gameplay that nonetheless signals a massive change that will soon hit the gaming industry. The developer claims that everything, from the art to the story to the music has been generated by AI of some kind. If you haven’t heard of it that’s not surprising, as the game currently only has one review on Steam, and it’s not a positive one. But the story behind the game is curious, and indicative of larger tensions that will only become more visible within the space.

I'm honestly shocked you haven't mentioned barrels yet, Panda. Just imagine the countless barrels AI could create to taunt you every step of the way.

Games tailored by AI to each and everyone specifically with every NPC with multiple faces changing whenever it moves, oddly-shaped fingers merging into one another and so many more fun oddities. Ah yes, the "genie" nobody asks for but those that actively want and are stealing from others, trying to make it their own by perverting it and make a quick buck out of it.

Hard pass on my end as well. Might as well be a guinea pig for lil' Musk.

You were much more fun when you were just the barrel guy for the past 4 years.

From inorganic to organic back to inorganic. Kinda reminds me of how a fish crawled onto land and became an amphibian, then a reptile, then a mammal, and then crawled back into the ocean and became the world's largest creature.

I'll be concerned about the AI revolution once we can make a printer that doesn't jam.

Any day now we're going to have flying cars and AIs that can do more than hypothesize protein conformations and properly self-driving cars and software that's better than a teacher and cybernetic implants that make us smarter and holographic touch displays and extraplanetary colonization and carbon sequestration that offsets warming and laser or rail guns that work on earth and vacuum tube trains and self-contained Arabian desert arcologies and exoskeletons to carry 200 kg of kit and robots that both walk on little feet and are reasonable replacements for infantry and majority acceptance of cryptocurrency and smart homes that aren't just a voice interface for shopping or search engines and VR that is convincingly realistic and/or affordable to more than enthusiasts and bipedal tanks I guess and holodecks and economical agriculture without some significant health or ecological drawback and synthetic meat that is a perfect substitute for real meat and pills that make us live over 100 and pills that lose weight for us without paralyzing our alimentary canals or giving us heart attacks and city planning that allows for low density single family homes but still yet reasonable rents and commute times and just the right kind of skateboard and social media that does something it didn't already do in the aughts and a cure for balding and a cure for psoriasis and a cure for dermatitis and a cure for eczema and a cure for acne and a cure for shortness and a cure for tallness and a cure for snoring and alcohol-free beer that actually tastes good and a PPV television model that doesn't instantly inflate into a massive subscription-based bundle and supersonic travel that doesn't annoy people and pollute disproportionately and

Let me know when it becomes self-aware, decides horse flies are the biggest threat to humanity and eradicates them.
