Lifecoach5000My jaw hit the floor when I watched an AI master one of the world's toughest physical games in just six hours
Annoyed_🦀 Here, the video the article is talking about. Save you from reading the author’s life story.
AI breaks physical boundaries: CyberRunner, the superhuman AI robot
db0While the link is useful, the smug takedown is uncalled for. Humans relate way more through personal stories like this. Without the story, the video is not impressive at all, as most will have now idea how difficult this achievement is. There is also something to be said about adding some flourish and passion in the story, instead of coldly presenting facts.
Kbin_space_programThe point of journalism is to get the facts across and inform viewers. I don't care about the journalist other than them being impartial and reporting on the facts.
Man, you sound like those gamers who complain that game journalisst should only report on the technical specifications of the game.
That's different. Video game journalism isn't factual news, it is reviews, which are inherently opinion pieces. I expect to get personal elements there. Not to mention the unique role of games putting the players in the seat of telling the story.
To paraphrase Sir Patrick Stewart:
Video games are a unique entertainment medium because the person playing them creates the story.
In a book, the author writes the story and it comes to life in your head.
In a movie or show, ultimately it's the director and editor who get to tell the story, the actors doing what they're told.
In a play or music, the actors/musicians on stage tell the story.
In a video game, the player creates the story.
He was only talking about video games, but the same applies to the modern ttrpgs and more complex board games like "the captain is dead" or "tokaido"
There’s no such thing as “factual news”
Yeah there is.
Fox news isn't it.
