It’s about psychological manipulation. PR is really just propaganda renamed and repackaged. I don’t believe they should be able to practice what they do at all.

If their craft was allowed they should be held to a high standard with a stringent set of ethics backed up by laws.

Seriously who cares about what a PR department thinks. Their job is literally to lie and manipulate people.

AI is just an excuse to get a bigger piece of the pie.

Nope, people in IT know the cloud is actually countless servers on racks in a giant data center rotfl.

You just made a Techbro angry somewhere in the world.

I completely agree there are more important things to hate about this manchild. Having said that this really does help deconstruct that he is some great gamer or has any decent taste.

Can we get some variety here? Maybe suplexed or skewered. Hell, I would even take shit on at this point. Please no more slammed.

Wow, it looks like it is really a 5060 and not even a 5070. Nvidia definitely shit the bed on this one.

That is a good point.

I was pretty sure Steam was getting dunked on because you don’t actually own the games according to the contract. I was just pointing out this is also true of any commercial piece of software.

For example, you go to GameStop and buy a physical copy of your favorite game. When you install it the EULA makes it clear you don’t actually own the product, just a license.

Don’t bother reading the EULA for all commercial software then. You don’t actually own anything you purchase.

Unless you have the code there is no freedom and it is all an illusion.

Wow, China just fucked up the Techbros more than the Democratic or Republican party ever has or ever will. Well played.

With that attitude I am not sure if you belong in a Chinese prison camp or an American one. Also, I am not sure which one would be worse.

Another video game company embraces bigotry because reasons.

I just want to know how long the AI turns will be towards the end of the game. My last civ game was getting pretty ridiculous.

I will only be impressed when Google forwards said scam caller to AI Alzheimer’s Granny and wastes all their time. Only then will I applaud. It is past time to fight back.

I think you were spot on about training a neural network with player data. It is already happening without a doubt.

There is already a solution using relatively simple analytics and building a profile of the player. It becomes very easy to find cheaters because it is easy to analyze how fast and directionally they aim. It is obvious when someone is using macros for instance or a aimbot.

The problem is this does not require intrusive programs that are essentially spyware for your OS. This is what attracts the big studios to these solutions not their effectiveness.

There is a workable solution but let’s be honest. Cheaters are often whales and spend a lot of time and money on the game. It is bad engagement to send them away.

Big studios already recognize this. So to be blunt they allow a certain amount of cheating because they don’t want to really solve the problem.
