    Apart from games, where this can also be used for more capabable and behaviourally more “interesting” NPCs (including computer opponents or teammates), the used techniques can be transferred to robotics. Quite a cool architecture.

    Bold to assume having an AI play the game for testing is actually useful. Given how buggy games release nowadays i genuinely wonder which companies still properly have play testers. An AI whose results you mostly ignore is pointless.

      I want LLMs to be used to create thousands of characters that have agency in like, Skyrim or something, and to watch the absolutely unhinged fucking chaos of what it creates.

      I don’t want it to play games for me.

      Work is hard, modern games are easy.

      Shoot this dot, go to that dot, bring “x” to this dot…

      Anything requiring critical thinking like a puzzle, the bot just brute forces trying every possible outcome until something works.

      It works because games have a finite set of options and at least one progresses. The real world isn’t that clean, and you don’t get infinite chances to get 1 correct solution.

      Next: game companies can subscribe to NVIDIA anti-AI-cheating AI. This is innovation under capitalism.

    Y’all laugh but there are way too many people into idle games, not to mention people who prefer watching a stream (even without commentary) over playing a game itself.

    I cannot comprehend why, though, just like I can’t comprehend how cheating (particularly single player) can be fun.

      I don’t watch others playing games, either, but someone who likes those streams told me he didn’t see a difference between watching good gamers play games and good football players play football.

      You never used cheat codes in GTA San Andreas and the like? It’s a lot of fun

        I actually thought about that after my comment and summoning a tank from nowhere was fun. At least for a little bit… but maybe mostly for the novelty of it all. Also I was like, 12.

          I mean it varies. It’s fun to just goof off in games sometimes. That’s why sandbox games like Minecraft typically have creative modes, sometimes you just wanna play in the sandbox and have a good time without the more typical game parts tying you down

    Great! Now the AI can play the video games for me while I do the dishes. I swear it was the other way around in the SciFi.

    That’s cool. AI can do art and writing and video games for me. It can watch all my shows. All I have to do is work and maybe sleep. Sounds fun.

    I guess Elon won’t be needing gamers’ services to max out his characters anymore.

    Fucking AI taking valuable jobs away again.

    Actually if they can use that to make good ai opponents for 4x games, it’d be pretty sweet

    The age of ai-generated streamers is coming…

    People and corporations will automatize all the process and turn it into passive income, and a lot of people will somehow watch it, making the thing profitable.

    I’m tired of all this…
