i wouldn’t be able to talk to you let alone read (i haves glasses). Most of the things we do aren’t natural
But wasn’t this exactly my previous point? It’s “just” new tools and ways. I’m not more or less good/evil because i can read/communicate with you. I just can now. Back then i couldn’t have.
Sure, all the new tech brought up even more worse shit of us, but WE are still the defining factor, not our tools.
Yeah sure, didn’t mean to devalue the importance of the changes “AI” (i hate that word) brings and will bring. As a mega nerd i actually effing love the f out of it. We could also be proud to be part of it. Coming generations just “have it”.
And i already am a lucky fucker to have been part in the creation of the internet and the rise of global communication, the smartphone, the smart home… And now AI.
I mean, don’t you think the use of our tools can shape who you are as a person? It changes our experience of the world, our knowledge, it’s definitely a part of our construction as individuals.
I said and done things i wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for some stranger on the internet changing mind on something.
All the things i learned thanks to the internet definitely made me a better person overall. And it definitely could make you a bad person too.
And yes i wasn’t quite there before the internet but as a science nerd i’m so impressed by how far we’ve got, from the logic and punch cards to internet now. Reducing the size of transistors to nanometer was a crazy journey. There’s definitely reasons to be proud.
And i’m really looking forward what AI can do, the latest videos of two minute papers on sora just made my mind blown.
But just because you dare to say things on a new medium doesn’t mean it changed you. It just allowed you to do what you usually wouldn’t, but would’ve wanted to. Or did it change you?
And all you have learned changed you, sure. But you could’ve also done it with books. Or by teachers. Or however else. The internet just made it quicker and easier. YOU choosing to learn something changed you.
Yes, totally. I came a bit after the punch-cards, but still early enough to bask in all the glory of technologies advancements. I still get a nerd-boner when I see that my WATCH is a million times faster with a million times more RAM than my first super expensive home-computer. In times where I said things like “what do i need a 10mb-harddrive for?! i could never fill such a thing!”.
Aye, AI has blown my mind very often so far. Although for coding it grew dissapointing exponentionally :-) Started like “WOW”, and failing to deliver after dozens of tries of perfectly formulating a pin-point-precision-question. But still. Super amazing!
I think it did change me yes, it made me grow in a way i wouldn’t otherwise. Helped me with my emotions and empathy in a way i wouldn’t have found around me.
And that’s the thing, making communication or information easier to get also forces you into discovery. Laziness, at least in that regard, is well anchored in our nature too. I could have learn though books or teachers, but there’s plenty i’m pretty sure i wouldn’t have.
An ironic example is programming, if i only had the programming course i’ve had in the first year of college i probably wouldn’t have learned much, it was boring as hell. But i learned programming by myself the summer before, with a c++ tutorial and the intent on creating 2d games. And that was extremely fun for me, to the point i took more courses on the topic later on for my own studies in maths.
Yeah i really can’t bring myself to understand what it was like back when drive where 10mb or less. Any software now is so much bigger it’s crazy. Latest thing i remember is downloading film with torrent and how slow that was. I’m pretty sure my 4G is faster almost in the same order of magnitude.
Being lazy is fine. Conservation of energy is a default in life per se 😁
But i hear you…it changed you. Because tech-level reached your laziness-level and allowed you to do stuff you wouldn’t have.
Sure, it’s so damn easy nowadays. You can learn whatever you want (nearly) at (mostly) no cost even. And it’s also more fun.
I was one of the first in my highschool to learn “information technology”. By a teacher who knew nothing. I noticed, because i already knew everything. It was embarrassing. Now we have the net.
Downloading lol… I still am amazed by my gigabit-cable. I started with a modem, where i waited a minute for a tit-pic to download line by line 😁
But you’re better off, you started early enough to have the feeling of wonder, but old enough to see beyond AI. Whatever will come.
Oh, especially in games i actually don’t expect much. Except another kind of “single-player”-games that totally need to be always online due to AI. As our machines can’t handle the AI on top of the game itself. Also it would be a real challenge to give it “ai” and also kinda restrict it to a given ruleset/theme/boundaries/etc.
Like an NPC using ai. What does he know? Also it would be pretty immersion-killing if you’d ask him something and then it would take 1-3s for an answer. Like those incredibly stupid alexas.
Guess we’re maybe just way too far away from an actual and usable integration
Plenty of games has that problem without IA. And i’m guessing we aren’t gonna restrict ourselves to hardware, the majority of games already doesn’t care to take a lot of space and graphic processing.
That said NPCs in a game doing various actions using the simplest language model has been done quite some time ago. But it wasn’t actually used more than as a novelty. Maybe later idk.
For dialogue i agree that it takes to much time to respond, at least for now. But i think it doesn’t really has to be done in real time, it can just be created beforehand.
And that’s true in general, we probably are restricted to use it in the creation process now.
What’s probably the most useful would be on asset generation, since that’s one of the most time consuming part in game dev.
I’d guess especially for all the random generated games that would be amazing too at some point.
Recently for example we’ve seen ai be able to create very good looking videos. And the technics they use for image consistency includes thinking about the object as 3d ones.
For now though it’s mostly used for interpolation, creating images between two existing ones to get more fps and fluid movement, pretty effective.
Another one i’ve also seen it used is for lighting, the process being pretty calculation heavy it can really help. That’s mostly useful for the prebaked light that’s created once and then stored. But i think it will be very useful for dynamic lighting one day, i feel it’s not that far either.
Oh right, i was totally fixated on the npc and dialogue-thing. For everything else in production(!) it’s surely helpful. Texture-Generation. Seamless. Audio. Music. Even level generation and whatnot, that’ll be helpful a lot.
I let ai design my watchface-background as i would’ve never found one i like and I’m creative as a doorknob.
But what it lacks is theme. You can only fill gaps, but you can’t let it generate everything. You still need an artist with a vision and a given theme.to have a consistent art-style.

Yeah, the net is really a good way to learn about IT and most things related, the amount of good sources makes it really easy to just self-teach.
I often found it easier than to rely on finding a good teacher. Some lectures or materials from prestigious schools are even online.
Your right the future seems to hold some golden technology still. I’m really waiting to see how AI will be implemented in games for example.
