I’d agree with that. The updated version from the early 90s is the one I played, and it’s probably the easiest to find unless you really go looking for the old version.
I still think it counts. It’s still the same fundamental Starflight experience.
Starflight came out in 1986, and if you liked Mass Effect, you should give it a try. IMO it has a deeper and more interesting implementation of the space/planet exploration mechanics, not to mention a solid story to tie it all together.
The UI looks dated, of course, but it’s straightforward enough to use. It influenced the Star Control games, another series that holds up (but just barely misses the 1990 cutoff).
Lol, this DLC description:
With the DLC, you will have 50,000 coins in Holy Clash Cards and this coin allows you to open all cards. It also gives you in-game privileges. You receive priority in error reporting
Kind of in awe of the guts to ask people to pay for the privilege of having their bug reports read.
Yeah, I think it’s a particular server. Kagi has been working normally for me this morning, and I use the Firefox VPN that resells Mullvad access.
This is tough to answer, because a lot of pirated stuff is literally priceless, i.e., can’t be bought at all.
I’d be happy to pay for the recent Ace Combat 5 and 6 upscaled ports, but they were only available briefly with preorders for AC7 on consoles I don’t have. They haven’t been sold outside of that brief window several years ago. Even if you tracked down unopened copies from 2019 and bought them from third parties, the license codes they contained expired long ago.
Fortunately, the Ace Combat community has put a lot work into making emulation work. The older games are playable, just not in a way you can pay money for.
No, not least because almost nothing in this area is self-evident due to the state of caselaw at the moment.
Putting aside for the moment the question of whether “generative” implies “transformative” in the specific sense under discussion in copyright law, the definition of “transformative” in this context is highly contentious, and courts have avoided defining it in an unambiguous way. Even here, the courts will probably avoid answering these questions if at all practical.
This is a big part of why fair use is in such a bad state right now: no predictability in how courts will rule on it as a defense, plus no way to keep you out of courts in the first place.
The Art Deco Bob Semple
It sounds like there are different biomes and air piracy now, but I haven’t yet had a chance to see how different this makes it play.
We can ask this question from the other direction: why doesn’t everywhere else have a flamethrower helicopter?
OpenAI and Microsoft recently redefined “artificial general intelligence” as OpenAI making $100 billion profit.
Defining intelligence this way means that virtually no human who has ever lived qualifies as intelligent, either. That’s one way for machine intelligence to reach parity with human intelligence, I suppose.
Then again, Sam Altman has lit enough of Microsoft’s money on fire that he especially doesn’t count as intelligent according to this definition. So maybe it has some merit after all.
“It’s a safety feature to reduce spalling!”
For sure. It’s kind of fascinating, in a grim way, to contrast Haiti’s revolutionary course with the US, where basically every major power was cool with them a few years after their revolution.
One wonders how history would be different if the nations of the world had spent centuries screwing the US with debt and propping up their worst leaders and left Haiti to do its own thing.
Right? Most of this stuff was already the case in 2012, so it barely even counts as a prediction.
China’s lead in rare earth production doesn’t exactly come out of nowhere, nor does Haiti having a crisis of some sort or terrorists being called freedom fighters. And having AI do the targeting work in place of humans has been floating around as an idea since what, when The Forbin Project came out? 1970 or so?
It’s a good idea, but we can go even further. Just think of what we could fit into a spinal mount!
I wouldn’t characterize it as a horror game at all, tbh. It’s a first-person survival game in an eerie, hazardous, open world setting. There’s nothing quite like it, but if you like open world games, it’s worth checking out for sure.
See also Brigador: apart from the various lasers, exotic ballistics, and nightmarish chemical weapons it includes, there’s also the prosaic “Mãe Dois.” The tech entry leaves no doubt about what it is:
No, there’s an actual paper where that term originated that goes into great deal explaining what it means and what it applies to. It answers those questions and addresses potential objections people might respond with.
There’s no need for–and, frankly, nothing interesting about–“but, what is truth, really?” vibes-based takes on the term.
He’s decided you’re not on his level, but he thinks you’re cool all the same.
Of course, in this case, the older folks are talking with AI characters who are not real.
Pitching talking to nonexistent people as a fix for dementia, as opposed to the problem you’re trying to solve, is, uh, innovative. Among other things.
As a complimentary service, it is accessible to anyone with a landline or mobile phone and bridges the technological divide by not requiring an internet connection or even a computer. Critically, this promotes equitable access to cutting-edge technology that can benefit older Americans.
Kind of seems like actually providing the things people can’t readily access would be more valuable than lotus-eating-as-a-service, but I guess that’s why I’m not pulling down big VC bucks.
For concerned family members and friends, the service can call individuals on certain days and times to check in on them and provide telephone-based companionship.
“concerned”
The company has 60 people.
Who could actually talk to the older Americans in question, but are instead tasked with simulating conversations for them instead.
Look, I’m not going to pretend I call my relatives as often as I ought to. But I truly cannot imagine being one of those 60 people. I can’t put myself in the mindset of someone who would want this job, who would want this effort to have been a part of their life and career.
Hey, kraken live a long time. Maybe it picked up heirophant levels back in the 3.5 days.
