Re: General gaming news and discussion
The thing is, we are seeing lots of re-releases, remasters and remakes. Not a whole lot of fresh new ideas and innovation. Indie devs are being more bold in game design more often than AAA devs. One thing is that whenever they try to change something, gamers cry that they prefer the old ways (look a...

There is no revolution, there is only evolution. Robots are already automating, it is h...

Re: Recent Book
Pay2Win, bots and cheaters destroy gameplay for decent, sensible, levelheaded people. That's why I believe only private VR paradise games can offer true happiness for us. So many games were ruined by Pay2Win, catering to casuals or whales and bots, cheaters. I don't think MMORPGs are the future. I t...

Re: The Fourth Industrial Revolution
Subjectively I feel like we are in a recession and that things are moving very slowly. But objectively I know that's not the case.

Re: 2045 predictions
Today's AI works like video games graphics, which only fake everything by "smoke and mirrors", it fakes intelligence. Raster graphics uses techniques like baked lighting to fake lighting and shadows, cube maps to fake reflections. Games use scripts to fake events and NPC AI. GPT-3 is much ...

Re: 2045 predictions
I agree about robots servants prediction by funkervogt. I think it is possible to predict 2045. Kurzweil's Law says that each technological paradigm shift accelerates subsequent innovation logarithmically, or at an exponential rate of change. Think ripples in a pool around a heavy object. About supe...
