And like that, we now have corporation produced bots in videogames.
Not for nothing, but couldn’t this be used to have AI play a game for 80,000 simulated hours and flag all the bugs? Human playtesters are important and have value, but no human should have to do the work of criss-crossing an enormous game map thousands of times just to see if the character model gets stuck on a random vertex sticking out somewhere, and yet it seems to be a distressingly common occurrence in more than a few games I’ve played.
Nvidia is doing a lot of that. It’s slightly better than nothing. It also quite expensive unless you’re Nvidia.
Croteam did something like that for “Talos principle”. You can read here (points 9 and 10 in the article).
Didnt Sony just patent something similar?
In Mircrosoft capitalism the game play you.
Yeah, on the networked virtual machine you will be playing it on because no one can afford the hardware to run games anymore.
Environmental destroyers, future generations will condemn this irresponsible behavior and hopefully punish it.
What’s going to be their next trick? Launching a service that’ll watch the latest Netflix series for me and give me a summary when it’s done?
Brain chip that blasts the entire series at you in one second.
“The View? I’m gonna watch The View?”
“Hey Mikey. I think he likes it”
Getting every episode of Dr Oz uploaded to your frontal lobes.
At least that way I’d get to enjoy it while dying from my aneurysm.
Obviously, how else will you keep slaving away for shareholders AND consume media to keep that creatively bankrupt corpse afloat as well?
Sucks teeth. I suppose that would be a rather tall order without tool assistance. On a completely unrelated note, I just had the oddest flash of somebody having welded a golden(ish) bull to the front of a surplus APC ramming the resultant amalgamation into the nearest stock exchange and / or AI data center. No idea why.
Chem trails.
I don’t need a summary. Just have it tell me whether I liked it or not.
And provide a succinct list of talking points and responses to chat to people at work about?
Or if it will reach a conclusion or be prematurely dropped.
Of course you did. Or else.
Drink a verification can to continue, consumer-slave.
Electric Monk. A device to believe things for you.
Maybe they can enhance it to play the whole game instead of just the end.
Gonna put LPers out of business
Hey I’m grump!
I’m not so gruuuump!
And we’re the artifically intelligent poor mans recreation of the game grumps!
Hey Dan.
Yes Arin?
I am the boy of video games. I am made of win! Check out my 12 fingers!
Wow Arin! That’s cool! I have 45 lbs of afro!
That is one of few use cases of AI : to cheat instead of getting good at anything.
You spelled Microslop wrong.
Ah, the world we all hoped for with AI:
AI doing all the fun stuff like art and games and humans get to do the hard work like fixing AI mistakes, fighting wars, and working until we die
What’s the point then? I pay for a game that I’m not even playing just so, what, my numbers of “completed” games goes up?
I’m someone who likes seeing the stats go up as I watch anime. But I do it naturally and over time. This AI idea is like if I were to start an anime, put it on auto-play while I sleep, and when I wake up it’ll be done, without me seeing a single scene.
What’s even the point of this…

Legitimately nothing. I think this is MS looking for use cases, because they have sunk all their capacity into AI. They cannot detangle themselves from their AI, and they’re trying to course correct into SOMETHING that might be profitable and pull them out of their death spiral.
They created the solution with no problem. Now they’re making problems up.
I am afraid that it actually can sell… botting already is happening in a lot of games to farm ressources and sell them for RL moneys. Right now this goes against most games ToS, but if this is a ‘legal’ way of doing things with less risk, it could be viable for some people…
Not that I condone any of this, but ressource markets in games will be heavily cornered then.
this could be a way to help people complete difficult parts, but there exists another solution to this problem
asking game developers to add assist modes
it is much easier to do, much cheaper, better integrated into the game, basically impossible to fail, works on all platforms, does not need internet access, is not resource intensive, but it does not use AI so its bad
