Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

"In other words, we think AI should be voiced by AI - not to offend AI. This feels especially important nowadays, with AGI almost here. That's all we can say, unpacking the whole AI cultural narrative isn’t really our place."

Ah yes, of course! AI characters must be voiced by AI, or you'll hurt ChatGPT's feelings. You don't want to make ChatGPT cry!

I feel like these people insult humanity every time they figuratively 'open their mouths.'

Also, I want to say "AGI is nowhere near" but then I realized that we really do already have software as vapid as these people are. I guess, to be fair, that looks like proper, true intelligence from the perspective of someone who has none of their own. :-\

with AGI almost here.

Sure, it will arrive almost at the same time their dad will, with the milk.

[–] Flatfire@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 weeks ago

Some Roko's Basilisk nonsense. I wish I could take it as a joke but truly there's no guarantee anymore

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 22 points 3 weeks ago

I guess they wanted people to know they were chuds by telling the one chud joke: "Are you triggered yet, wokies? Tee-hee, we're so naughty! 🤭"

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm not quite sure what the fuss is about with this one - I thought it was quite a clever joke, and I don't really think there's anything distasteful about it. Still, the game is of no interest to me whatsoever.

Feels like manufactured outrage to farm engagement

"We thought having the ai voiced by ai would be cute" would have been acceptable, had they paid a voice actor to train the model. It doesn't say in the article but I'm assuming they used some off-the-shelf model, which is tantamount to theft unless the company selling it in turn paid for use of everything in their corpus.

The "take that, liberal snowflakes" framing is beyond crazy.

Cringe to be offended by that

[–] LostWanderer@fedia.io 3 points 3 weeks ago

LOL Well, that was certainly wild...Very chud of them, looks like they are on the ignored studio list. Good job.

[–] Zedd_Prophecy@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Meh. I think it's amusing, not offensive.

Oh come on. That's funny. Why does this author have a stick up their butt about this absolutely nothing burger? I'm actually somewhat irritated that you wasted my time with this complete non-story. At least I know about a new game, but seriously we don't need to have a post about every single thing that's posted on a gaming website, because a lot of it is just filler, like this.
