It uses JIT methods to swap dudes in as needed. Now we just have to find the mean jerk time

As another user said, typographers still exist. And, until now, computers weren’t really a threat to their job security. They were just a new set of tools they had to adapt to. But, if I was running a business and had little regard for ethics, why would I hire a typographer when I could just ask an AI to generate a new font for my billboard, and have it done in 30 seconds for free?

I get the argument that AI is a tool that lowers the barrier of entry to certain fields, which is absolutely true. If I wanted to be a graphic designer today, I could do it with AI. But, when I went to sell my logo to the small company down the street, I’d have to come to terms with the fact that the owner of that business also happened to become a graphic designer that very morning, and all of a sudden my career is over before it started.

This really depends on what you consider “progress”. Some forms of AI are neat pieces of tech, there’s no denying that. However, all I’ve really seen them do in an industrial sense is shrink workforces to save a buck via automation, and produce a noticably worse product.

That quality is sure to improve, but what won’t change is the fact that real humans with skill and talent are out of a job because of a fancy piece of software. I personally don’t think of that as progress, but that’s just me.

As someone in my 20s who grew up on Windows XP era games, then lots of PS3 games, I’m very attuned to latency. My computer was lower mid-teir at best, and the performance standards for console games were nowhere near what they are today, so the first time I played a game on a high performance machine at 100+FPS/Hz refresh rate, it was like seeing color for the first time.

Considering I payed to play those campaigns, not watch them on YouTube, I’ll just save my time. Warframe has scratched the Destiny itch for me in recent years while also respecting me as a customer

From what I remember, this started as a solo dev’s passion project, and he refused most help fearing it could compromise his vision. Unfortunately it got to the point where development slowed and I beleive even stopped completely for a time. I’m not sure if he ended up overwhelmed, or maybe just got bored or ran out of funds, or maybe a combo of those, but a couple years back he decided to bring in a few more people to share the burden and finally get the project finished.

Does this mean that sunsetted content can be played again (ie the original campaign)? If so I would mayhe consider getting back into it. Otherwise I still have no interest in returning

Can’t believe you didn’t mention AmogOS

F droid is totally usable. Simply download and install the APK from their website and allow installation from unknown sources when prompted.

Unfortunately, e/OS or other Android roms are off the table as the bootloaders are locked (at least in my country they are, someone can correct me if that’s not the case worldwide).

Seconding for SWAT4. It’s available on GOG and still has an active modding community. Imo the AI is better in this game than in Ready or Not, although RoN is certainly more visceral overall.
