Didn’t you as a country sacrifice thousands of children just so you could keep your guns for this exact moment?

Maybe Wilds will be a launch game and Nintendo anticipated the release to capitalise on it? Dunno, just playing devil’s advocate.

Several people who have worked for Naughty Dog say Druckmann and Straley stopped seeing eye-to-eye with Hennig, and that they had fundamental disagreements on where to take the Uncharted series. When Hennig left, she signed a non-disparagement agreement with the studio that would prevent both her and Naughty Dog from making negative public comments about what had happened, according to people familiar with the arrangement.

From “blood, sweat and pixels” which I own. I guess Schreier is also an unreliable source…

You reply like the typical reddit chud: Find something to latch on to, ignore the wider message, ad hominem, leave feeling victorious. Use vote manipulation to feel good about their chud selves with fake internet points.

At the end of the day, Mr woke Druckman doesn’t care for equality, if he did, he wouldn’t hire slavers.

ADHD is overdiagnosed the same way Oxy was overprescribed. The incentives are there to have entire generations depend on highly physically addictive substances that will guarantee a consistent stream of income. ADHD is a real disease, a significant portion of people diagnosed with it, don’t have it. That is ALSO happening in the US but it’s prevalent in western pedopsychiatry.

ADHD is an extremely profitable diagnostic that has tge particularity of some unpleasant withdrawal symptoms once patients stop microdosing on extremely expensive formulations of meth.

DEI for Americans but not if you’re from overseas. Only US BIPOC count, the rest are shithole fodder.

Tax credits from WOTC are quite steep and consultancy can be offset in the R&D tax credit. That’s before mentioning local state incentives.

Typical US companies playing dirty and acting high and mighty. Neoliberalism at its best! And, ofc, the useful idiots that believe in the myth of US exceptionalism being terminally offended at reality checks.

Studios are subcontracting so much shit nowadays that I’m more interested in seeing what comes out of non AAA outfits than anything else. US games are mostly shit presently, the lion’s share of the work is done by low income workers and the peeps stateside get all the money and easy well paid consultant gigs and just enough to cash in on the DEI state subsidies and gov support. It’s absolutely 0 surprise the games are shit, it’s basically sweatshop game making. The funny part is Neil Druckman playing the saviour super woke evolved writer (after stepping on Hennig) but then subcontracts sweatshop work to make his assets. You couldn’t make this shit up.

Well, a certain cadre of income is responsible for the lion’s share of western emissions. Maybe you could use that money to “influence” them.

Yes, it’s totally normal for AAA (and Ubi AAAA) games to enter early access before full release to finance development post ACT I… Yes, BG3 is totally a AAA game and Larian a AAA studio… FML! One can’t look exclusively at budget, especially when most of it went into development and not marketing.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is a AA game from Larian, a Belgian developer which is private and not a public company traded in the stock market.

It’s significant because in those 10 short years, a significant portion of the talent left the industry for greener pastures. When you mix genius level IQ people, definitely in the spectrum, with corporate types pushing line go up mentality and career drones using thought police tactics to progress their careers, while having 0 creativity, you get the current brand of AAA games from Western developers, aka, trash. They are more worried with the game’s response on xitter than if the game is fun…

Ty for the benchmarks and extra info. Much appreciated!

If they can really train a model at 600b parameters for 6M usd it’s an absolutely mind boggling achievement. No wonder it’s getting downvoted, it puts the capital intensive US firms to shame for lack of innovation. I’d love to see some benchmarks.

As a side note, this would open up the market for non English language LLMs with less requirements than the mammoth necessities of current models.
