Germany already has a method that works pretty well and keeps your identity and exact birthday secret from third parties. Problem is nobody implements it because tech companies would rather have all your data. Maybe this time it will be different but knowing the EU they will probably try something funny with this thing.
It‘s trains. I‘m talking about an electrified rail network that we absolutely need to make the switch to a mostly green economy. I don‘t think we can ever do it if we keep clinging to car infrastructure.
I‘m just going to say that the distinctions between the two you‘re laying out here seem irrelevant to the discussion to me. I am not arguing about a season pass or preservation of games. Again, that is not what this discussion is about. This is about the developing side of games where these things don‘t mean anything. To give an example of what I mean: World of Warcraft employed and paid more people over a longer period of time than most AAA games.
Okay here‘s my business idea: Tires but metal! Those metal wheels then drive on metal bars to transport groups of pods. Think of a network of rails that passengers can use to easily travel from one place to another. It‘s a closed system that barely interrupts other types of traffic and can even drastically reduce conjunctions by being very space efficient. All electric and much safer than cars too! Did I mention they can go much faster than cars on longer routes? You can even enjoy entertainment or get some work done while you travel!
It most likely would‘ve. Just look how quickly US courts started to turn Monsanto into shreds the very second Bayer bought it. They‘re after that so called stupid German money. Wouldn‘t work if it was American money.
And I see that but a game developer is not the right type of business to develop these kind of extremely intrusive and potentially dangerous accessibility devices. We need much stricter guidelines and oversight for this kind of tech before they essentially become a remote control for parts of our brain.
Albert Einstein was a notorious daydreamer and he ended up being one of the most beloved side characters in Christopher Nolan‘s Oppenheimer. Be like Einstein and stop doomscrolling.
Meh. There really isn‘t a lot there. The short film mentioned has largely been regarded as a complete flop with no critical acclaim whatsoever. It‘s regarded so bad it’s essentially a meme. A real slop fest.
As for copyright: Using models trained on copyrighted material is more of a gray area than being explicitly allowed. They literally mention the act went active in 2019. That is before the rise of AI. So if anything they‘re just really behind the curve and not so much embracing technology.
This reminds me of the saying that Japan has been in the year 2000 for the past 40 years. Some older folks somehow still think it‘s some futuristic paradise for sci-fi nerds when that hasn‘t been the case for over 20 years.
That‘s the critical one. It‘s not about budget or outsourcing or whatever. It comes down to who makes the decisions and why. In a lot of cases it‘s people with a finance background who couldn‘t care less about the medium they‘re working with and that can be a major issue. Gaming being a bigger industry than music and film combined has attracted a lot of people who only think in dollar bills and it shows. Luckily however, there are still a lot of passionate teams with leaders who have a love for games.
