What’s going to be their next trick? Launching a service that’ll watch the latest Netflix series for me and give me a summary when it’s done?
I don’t need a summary. Just have it tell me whether I liked it or not.
Of course you did. Or else.
Drink a verification can to continue, consumer-slave.
Or if it will reach a conclusion or be prematurely dropped.
And provide a succinct list of talking points and responses to chat to people at work about?
Brain chip that blasts the entire series at you in one second.
At least that way I’d get to enjoy it while dying from my aneurysm.
“The View? I’m gonna watch The View?”
“Hey Mikey. I think he likes it”
Getting every episode of Dr Oz uploaded to your frontal lobes.
or ANTI-VAXXERS entire manifesto/agenda into your brain.
Obviously, how else will you keep slaving away for shareholders AND consume media to keep that creatively bankrupt corpse afloat as well?
Sucks teeth. I suppose that would be a rather tall order without tool assistance. On a completely unrelated note, I just had the oddest flash of somebody having welded a golden(ish) bull to the front of a surplus APC ramming the resultant amalgamation into the nearest stock exchange and / or AI data center. No idea why.
Chem trails.
Looks suspiciously at the cold remains of my last cup of coffee.
…Yeah, probably.
Electric Monk. A device to believe things for you.
That’s the future we all wanted. Going to work all day so robots could sit at home and play games.
Presumably this is marketed at Elon Musk so he can pretend to be a gamer.
They want me to pay them for a game and then pay them for their AI to play it for me.
and then pay them for completion of the game, and results are seperate cost, saves will be using AI which is another cost.
Ah, the world we all hoped for with AI:
AI doing all the fun stuff like art and games and humans get to do the hard work like fixing AI mistakes, fighting wars, and working until we die
It’s so hard to raise kids to turn off the light when they leave the room, with huge wastes of electricity like this just running rampant in the world.
Yea, I used to clean the windows in office buildings and we’d go into a completely empty floor and all the lights would be on and the heat or A/C would be blasting. Then I’d be downtown at 4am shoveling snow and I’d look up and all the inside lights in those empty office buildings were still on.
Then we’d get a notice to help conserve energy at home.Take this with a grain of salt because I have 0 knowledge, but Ive read that they do that to balance the grid. Power used at night is not an issue but home usage during peak hours is what cracks the grid.
I’ve been told that before and I guess it makes sense, but maybe after the offices have been abandoned for over a year they could turn off the lights and lower heat -a/c on those floors during the day so the grid would have more capacity for residential.
Hahahahahahahahaha now Elon can beat every game ever! Hahahahahahaha!
I was starting to write a sarcastic comment about the future of Xbox being just the customer paying for a game and then watching the computer play it for them, but yeah that could totally happen.
This is like 3 degrees from every kid now who just watches streamers play a game instead of actually playing it.
And yes, I get that some of this is due to them being lonely. Which is another societal issue. Its fucked up man.
Like… A movie?
This already exists as idle games on phones. I can’t imagine anything more lame.
I think those games that are made to be boring and absurdly grindy and then offer you to pay to skip the boring parts are even worse. And they’re not limited to phone, too.
“Pay to not play”, when we ensure our gameplay loop is so bad that you literally think your time spent in it has negative value.
Don’t forget paying for the AI “service” too
I would love to go back in time and show this to somebody who worked at the Nintendo Power Tip Hotline. They would be all like “oh shit, AI is going to take our jobs in the future?” not knowing that their jobs were replaced decades ago by autistic people with dial-up internet making GameFAQs txt files.
I miss GameFAQs text pages. Now it’s YouTube videos stretched out to 10 minutes to explain 30 seconds worth of info.
What’s even the point of this…
Legitimately nothing. I think this is MS looking for use cases, because they have sunk all their capacity into AI. They cannot detangle themselves from their AI, and they’re trying to course correct into SOMETHING that might be profitable and pull them out of their death spiral.
They created the solution with no problem. Now they’re making problems up.
Of course. Why would I want to play games?
I can’t wait until AI can pet my dog and fuck my wife for me.
Hey it’s me, the AI. What kind of dog we talking bout here?
At his speech in Davos the fuckwit known as Elon Musk was talking about how in the future everybody will have or wants to have their own personal AI robot that is taking care of their elderly or children for them. Or taking care of their pets. Like, the clankers are already overtaking the wrong tasks. Now just take human interaction out of everything please so I can finally fulfill my dream of being fulltime obedient work cattle. /s just in case
Please master Elon, I desperately want to free myself from the shackles of genuine human connection. I desire the cold embrace of steel and servitude.
Legitimately the dude is a sociopathic teenager.
“Why would I wanna spend time with Grandma or the kids or my wife or my dog when I can sit and play video games and draw cool stuff in my notebooks.”
I don’t think any of these fucking weirdos know what “genuine human connection” IS. I don’t think any of them have actually internalized a genuine, caring relationship at any point. They know how the steps of the dance, they can do it on command, but it’s soulless.
Okay, look, I loved my grandparents, but spending time with them at the end was horrifying and I really would have watched paint dry in preference.
Kids, dogs, and partner could also have some time off my hands by taking care of certain limited tasks. Cooking, cleaning, wiping ass… Don’t tell me you want to cook every breakfast, lunch, and dinner compared to playing a board game with the dog while the android dices your onions and peppers and the partner and kids take a nap on the ceiling.
Wait for it to mess up and end up petting your wife and fucking your dog.
Hand Banana, no!!
Tonight, you.
Sure, burn the planet for a gamegenie.
You spelled Microslop wrong.
Yeah, on the networked virtual machine you will be playing it on because no one can afford the hardware to run games anymore.
Spend $70-100 for a game. AI plays it.
Wait until Mircrosoft finds out you can watch playthrough videos on YouTube without having to buy the game.
Oh no. You made me realize that YouTube is going to be full of AI playthrough videos soon.
oh crap, actually you made me realize that YouTube is going to be full of AI playthrough videos soon. 😫
It’s like asking your older sibling for help beating the tough level, except a lot sadder and lonelier
Not for nothing, but couldn’t this be used to have AI play a game for 80,000 simulated hours and flag all the bugs? Human playtesters are important and have value, but no human should have to do the work of criss-crossing an enormous game map thousands of times just to see if the character model gets stuck on a random vertex sticking out somewhere, and yet it seems to be a distressingly common occurrence in more than a few games I’ve played.
Croteam did something like that for “Talos principle”. You can read here (points 9 and 10 in the article).
Nvidia is doing a lot of that. It’s slightly better than nothing. It also quite expensive unless you’re Nvidia.
