Is that graph actually real/based on data?

It’s potentially possible but becomes way more complex for the modder. They would also still have to write some sort of text/prompt addition for every quest end flag that was triggered. You’d also have to determine which flags would be “global” game world knowledge. Like you assisinate a specific gang leader for the FIB undetected in a covert mission. It would be weird for a random NPC to then be like “good job sniping John McCrimeboss in that job for the government”.

Did it really take over 700 arrows to do the job?". Probably not super hard if you track weapon type and number of strikes.

Again on paper, sounds easy but unless the game tracks that already, the modder would have to build these systems themselves which would potentially be beyond the ability/effort of vibe coders. Skyrim for example, why would the devs code in tracking how many weapon strikes, and of which particularly weapon it took to kill something if it doesn’t serve a game mechanic? So that would have to be built.

The only game I’ve seen it somewhat work for is stalker, because of the game already having the PDA mechanic in it. So a lot of the game world events/triggers had corresponding text entries/details so they could be printed to the screen as message. E.g. when you shoot and kill a bandit with a SPAS12; “I just saw Joe stalker shoot a bandit with a shotgun, that guy owed me money” would sometimes be printed in the game global chat from an NPC. The only part that comes the game world/events is <player Name> and <Weapon type>, the rest is a template. So all the the modder to had to code was the LLM to be fed the printed message and occasionally generate a response based on it. All of which is simpler than being asked questions by the player. Which you could also do but was very limited (I think the PDA message history was included in prompts so the response could have basic knowledge of recent events if asked).

Unless it’s fed to them via their context window (text) no. Likely they’ll get randomly assigned one of few template personalities, maybe can remark on things that happen in the immediate area around them (game events that can be read and fed to them via text) and that’d be it. I’ve seen similar mods (though a while ago) for other open world games. It become pretty clear quickly that they’re only giving generic responses outside their pre-supplied info. The only exception could be story important NPCs that you could create a unique personality for that the LLM could reference for responses.

Like asking a random shopkeeper in Skyrim if they know about a specific character you’re looking for. The NPCs have their essential status, schedules, their dialogue options and inventory. They don’t have any stat for “knows this character” or “is former X guild member” for example. If they’re married it’d be made apparent through dialogue to the player only.

Same here, I never saw the appeal of warfare until EFP (I think). Now I wish more mods did it, will definitely give it a go in fusion.

Stuff like Bosspack makes me appreciate just how stable and performant GAMMA is. OGSR is a great (non-anomaly) mod too, very much recommend it. Probably going to look to try Anthology next because I’ve been waiting for ages for the original story in Anomaly. Radiophobia 3 was a good time too excluding some minor things (like shitty mutant spawns by design). Keen for the EFP teams new project “Fusion” to come out as well.

They originally had permission from the stones for the main (string) sample in bittersweet. However stones said it went slightly longer than they agreed to, sued and won royalties I believe. Fuck the Stones.

God dammit didn’t even realise. Dunno why this is being downvoted? Yet another baby account with hundreds of posts and seemingly copying them from reddit. This is like the 4th I’ve seen a couple weeks. The one before this had 588 post and comments in the same time span.

Regardless of speculation about the movies universe the point is the movie is a satire of facism, as that’s how the director interpreted the book (that is, fascist in nature). A lot of people missed this about the movie. If the arming of kids and sending them off to war, the slogans, the service guaranteeing citizenship and as I mentioned in another comment, the SS uniforms, don’t convince you. Maybe the directors own words will:

Although some contemporary critics and audiences considered Starship Troopers to be an endorsement of fascism, Verhoeven said, “whenever you see something that you think is fascist, you should know that the filmmakers agree with your opinion”

Edit: check out the wiki if you’d like to know more.

Man Sony just going back to back with these fumbles. Be curious to hear the rationale in 5 or so years as to what the fuck they’re thinking.

I think it was Lindsay Ellis who speculated that in the case of people like Lee Harvey Oswald (and potentially the guy who shot Lenon), it’s about notoriety. Oswald was a loser, who couldn’t hold down a job, thought of more of himself than deserved, was unhappy with how his life was going and wasn’t particularly bright. Due to his time in the military though, he could shoot a rifle.

Time and time again, there a plenty of people who are either contributing nothing to society or less often, are forgotten by it. They become bitter and in some cases are also mentally unwell. So they decide to make their mark by killing people. In the case of celebrities and political figures it’s a mean of forcing their way into the history books. I’m sure some of the time there’s an element of political motivation but it feels secondary it a lot of cases.

I dunno, I think it’s valid to be concerned about but AI still has a distinct flavour of saying a lot while actually saying a little, if anything at all. I never pick up that vibe from comments inside the autistic comms.

It’s worth pointing out that the account posted multiple AI images and then used the same “reasoning” for the image not being AI twice. Hence me being curious if the entire account is automated and replying to one of its comments outside of those threads.

I was trying to be subtler about it but they didn’t bite. Currently posting AI raccoons images so trying to see if the entire account is clanked.

This is such a good point and really relevant to post body content. These days it really can be hard to tell. Luckily comment remarks are always an indicator.

So it’s deep enough to not hit your head if you fall/jump in but not deep enough to drown? That’s awfully convenient and specific. A thin layer of mud will also do little to soften a blow when below is concrete. You’re certain they landed in the centre and not the, as you state, shallower sides? I also notice you never link articles when you go on these very productive posting sprees. Wonder why that is?

Explanations such as alluded to in my comment. This nonsense clearly consumes a lot of your thoughts and time. Hint: it has nothing to do with someone “forgetting to stand up”.

No, you’d rather believe a story with numerous plausible explanations is some conspiracy. A conspiracy of fucking canals of all things. I doubt you leave the house much if your crusade against UK canals is any indication, but next time you go to a public pool, read what the warning signs say not to do near the shallow end. Report back.

I’m criticising your use of the tool in posting as well as commenting because you’re either intentionally or too stupid to realise it’s leading you around in circles e.g.

I’m also not claiming automation is the only way Lemmy can grow. I’m saying it’s one tool for solving the empty-community problem. If you have a better scalable way to get thousands of mostly dead communities active, great. Build it.

Does not make fucking sense as a response to my point. Only an idiot prompt fondling their argument would think this is somehow a passable or logical reply. You’re arguing for automation, not that it’s the only way, nor did I claim you said it’s the only way. It’s practically a non-sequitur. Christ I have to restate your argument for you that’s how bad it is. It’s why your post/reply get downvoted consistently, because you value any output over all else, even if it’s trash you claim to be curated. It’s noise.

Build it? Build fucking what. Actually read what people type and understand it instead of feeding it to an LLM in a vain hope to convince people of your POV. I and most people here don’t want inorganic growth or “”tools””. If some community are empty, low traffic then people can populate them when and if there is enough desire. Do you understand that?

Also you don’t write shit, you don’t create content and you don’t curate anything. You vibe code AI to do these things for you with a minimal amount of input. Either way, I’m arguing with an LLM essentially. Cya never hopefully.

I doubt you’ve made multiple profitable businesses if you can’t even make your own arguments and just copy paste LLM output between comments. Not that it matters if it is somehow true.

Prioritising growth is practically antithetical to decentralisation and the fediverse in general. If the growth takes longer, so be it. Lemmy has grown in the relatively short time I’ve been here. Noticeably so and a majority done without shitty bot posting and AI posting. People who join here typically hate that shit and the glorious algorithm TM. Again you’re attempting to conflate the growth/health of Lemmy with serial bot posting and AI posting. The former does not require the latter. The majority of internet sites grew without the latter. The majority of people here don’t like the latter and don’t think the former is worth it. No amount of jank LLM output, because to you’ve had to make it argue your perspective for you, will change that. Anyway I’ve not going to waste further time on this with someone too lazy to formulate and type their own response.

its a skeleton of what it can be

You talk like a c suite wanna be. Must be in the frequent AI use.

I don’t know if the LLM you run everything by told you that’s a compelling argument or not, but it isn’t. Valuing numbers is what led to reddit being a shit hole. All of which have nothing to do with serial bot posting or using AI to post.

Not every active poster, just serial bot posters and those who use AI to post. Which is good the less of you in the central fediverse the better.
