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.
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.
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.
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?
Don’t forget paying for the AI “service” too
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.
Wait for it to mess up and end up petting your wife and fucking your dog.
Hand Banana, no!!
Tonight, you.
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.
Oh neat, just one step away from having AI buy the game for me as well.
In Mircrosoft capitalism the game play you.
What’s the point then? I pay for a game that I’m not even playing just so, what, my numbers of “completed” games goes up?
I’m someone who likes seeing the stats go up as I watch anime. But I do it naturally and over time. This AI idea is like if I were to start an anime, put it on auto-play while I sleep, and when I wake up it’ll be done, without me seeing a single scene.
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.
Lame
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
so they spent millions attacking and removing hackers from their games, only to allow AI bots to do it for a subscription fee…
iran, can you blow up this data center while you’re at it?
Let’s skip the playing part. Let the customers pay and directly see their playthrough results and achievements.
Gaming in 2028: I am an elite gamer, I have purchased 100% completion in Forza Horizon 7.
