It’s an LLM, so…

It did indeed sounded like one. Noticeable by a lot of words that say nothing that would matter.

Has nothing to do with monopolies, having the market slowly condense into one mega company does not create competition and results in higher prices for the consumer.

Isn't that what monopolies are known for??

Aka monopolies...

2 things. 1, hallucination is a sensory perception of something. LLMs don't have senses. The term doesn't make sense when confabulation is literally lying right there. 2, ai bros really like their ai, and run interference when people find flaws in it. This includes derailing conversations with nit picking terminology. Yes i'm aware of the irony in my post.

confabulation sounds sillyl. In my opinion the word hallucination, when used as a colloqialism in this context, is easier to understand, and makes the point instantly. People see words like confabulation and just give up because words are hard for some people. lol

It’s generally a fascist viewpoint to say that dissenters should consider leaving the country.

I rented it at blockbuster, loved it, bought it, and then played many hundreds of hours on it. I don’t know if I agree with your statement as written.

That said, I don’t know if I would even touch a RTS on a console these days. So maybe I agree in spirit.

I did the same thing (minus buying it).

It was super fun but definitely not the same competitive experience. But it was really impressive how well it all worked.

part of Claude’s capability is reliant on its verbosity to push its responses into new vector spaces. If you instruct it to be terse, its capability is potentially reduced

What I don't understand is, isn't this what "thinking" is for? It can be as verbose as it wants while it's thinking as far as I'm concerned, but why can't it keep the verbosity there? Why does it always spill into the actual response no matter what I do?

It's fine if it talks a lot to itself, I just don't want to read two pages of text for every question.

excellent, i dont need it to think, i need it to execute.

I raised my eyebrows at this statement, but I had forgotten that blog post where he griped about the UK becoming less white.

Or I'm sorry Dave where he talks about being mad the LLM won't translate murderous genocidal screeds to Italian for him.

Okay that was always allowed

These had a lot of blood sweat and tears poured into them.

Most Hollywood game adaptations are the same as the Disney live actions. They have their hands on an IP, they want to flip it into easy money. Those turn out excruciatingly bad, because for an easy flip, you need to target for mass appeal, which waters down the material.

> These had a lot of blood sweat and tears poured into them

It goes both ways. Both the video game and the film/tv IP need to have some sort of deeper meaning and writing. You just can't write a cohesive story for a cynical multiplayer FPS like Quake, Wolfenstein II, Doom, etc whose whole appeal in the 1990s and 2000s was gore and shock value.

There's a reason people my age (below 35) have never played and oftentimes haven't even heard of Quake or Doom or Wolfenstein but have heard of Fallout or Half Life.

I've given a list of the majority of video game movies created this past decade. They made bank and were well written and have mass appeal.

>You just can't write a cohesive story for a cynical multiplayer FPS like Quake, Wolfenstein II, Doom

Except you CAN! Doom and Quake films are begging to just be reskinned Aliens. Begging! I have no idea why someone doesn't just make this film.

But you could just watch Aliens.

> Except you CAN! Doom and Quake films are begging to just be reskinned Aliens

That's my point. The fact that you need to pitch these kinds of games as a knockoff of a better movie shows why they simply aren't viable IP.

Nerdy boomer nostalgia ain't cutting it for IP whose entire value was derived from being edgy and shock+gore driven.

What group are you in? My impression is that they have the worst taste of all.

> What group are you in

Too young to really remember 9/11 but old enough to remember watching the airstrikes on Baghdad in 2003 and the Indian Ocean Tsunami. So I guess I'm technically GenZ or a very very young Millenial.

Essentially, I grew up during the PS2, Xbox, GameCube, Xbox360, Wii, and PS3 era.

Basically, I'm old, but HNers tend to be a decade or two older.
