  And every second new user is one with the ads plan. Congratulations, not pay (buying) once again worked out.

  I disagree. But I see why he believes so. If you’ve been into similar topics for a while, like machine learning, AI doesn’t objectively does much more. Then you have countless examples of AI providing wrong informations. However this understates how often real people give wrong informations and how often we have to work with them and fix the issued, be it in our head of by trial and error.

  AI like LLMs are so new, we neither have peaked in quality nor used them long enough to understand the quirks. For a lot of people it will be like learning to drive a bike, learn swimming or learn inner peace and patient with the annoying coworker. Some won’t make it.

  Also understanding AI takes time which I suspect most busy people don’t have. And I don’t even mean understanding the technical side, I mean learning on using them correctly. AI is a tool and to believe it solves all our problems now, is a bit utopic, yet it will become better and better by the day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should devs tell people about launch bugs in advance? “It’s an interesting problem” says Starfield and Skyrim designer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol, another one of those “players expect perfection”. No, they don’t, but buggy games like Cities Skylines 2 should’ve never been released. Games like Cyberpunk 2077 should’ve been delayed on consoles and not released on old consoles at all, to fix critical PC bugs first. I can understand the issue of infinite delay and finite money, but some games should’ve been delayed just a bit more to not release in a mess.

  Starfield however isn’t that buggy, it’s the typically Bethesda-Jank, but what is much worse is the boring game. Not bugs are the big issue. Starfield should’ve never been released or been much cheaper to cover some of the cost, but instead they hype it and sell ultimate editions not worth the price. It’s lying.

  One can’t comment on your thread. My app says “post not found” was it deleted?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Publishers face 20% game revenue reduction if Denuvo DRM is cracked quickly, according to new study⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks, it’s a complicated read because of the math approximation, but it’s not a bad study per se. I noted my critiques in the original comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Publishers face 20% game revenue reduction if Denuvo DRM is cracked quickly, according to new study⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish I could access this study. From the summary alone I couldn’t tell how one would compare Denuvo vs non Denuvo, when only large publisher use Denuvo, which are more likely to be mainstream and more known and therefore more in total pirated compared to an indie title. How would one measure that a DRM is preventing this revenue loss? We barely have two exactly similar games release at the same time. Gaming us fluctuating, game scores are and therefore the sold numbers, some are brand loyal while for others it counts less etc. How has anyone found a way to calculate that? Some publisher are much more likely to use Denuvo but are also more likely to be pirated because their game releases are much more likely to be buggy, boring or mtx infested.

  Sounds amazing. Thanks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fully-automatic robot dentist performs world's first human procedure⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I get that it’s positive to serve multiple patients in the same time, but I don’t care so much about the time, as that it’s done properly.

  Also obligatory: “beep boop, done with filling, proceeding with brain lobotomy”

  I wonder how they get the correct data for the robot to work with. It would require AI checking xrays I suppose. That seams to be quite a bit away still. But testing will show if it’s better than a human dentist. Maybe it could use smaller instruments and cut away less healthy tooth, etc.

  That’s actually fantastic. I so hope they’ll be successful.

  Yup, to me for example this is the first time and it’s outrageous. Last Capcom game I bought was Dragon’s Dogma 1.

  I want to see more Logan and less She-Hulk/the Marvels/blue beetle. How can you be successful with something and the collectively decided not to produce more if it?
