the editing is wild, hope we're all appreciating it

Wow. You calmly dismantle the whole industry

Why did you recommend not to buy Diablo 2: Resurrected? Personally, I'm boycotting that game, but I was wondering what your reasoning is.

Why are we intelligent instead? I think developing AI is our quest to understand that and reason about ourselves.

I have a single course degree in machine learning from Stanford University Online, which while it isn't a credential that will get me hired, it DOES mean I've gone through the process of actually understanding what modern AI is. I spent a lot of time doing extracurricular experiments to get a good intuition and feel for HOW these statistical models we call AI actually behave, and what their limitations are. So while I may not have a PhD, I can confidently say I have more hard technical understanding and insights about AI than 95% of the population. The things you laid out in the first 12 minutes is EXACTLY what I try to tell people who say shit like "just give it more time, and AI will explode" or "I'm afraid but excited for the upcoming AI explosion". There is NO MAGIC, it's JUST A MACHINE WITH A BUNCH OF KNOBS. More data, more time, bigger models, bigger computers, quantum breakthroughs, all of that is just like polishing a turd! Yes, AI in it's current form can do a LOT of very useful things, and we absolutely should be using it to replace annoying, menial tasks like removing backgrounds or fixing lighting in photos. But I'll scream it into the clouds if I have to, NEURAL NETWORK BASED SYSTEMS WILL NOT BECOME ANYTHING REMOTELY CLOSE TO GENERAL PURPOSE. THEY WILL NOT BECOME SENTIENT. I really, really wish it were possible, I would also like to see some crazy AI future, even if that concept is scary! But if you understand HOW these systems work, then you can see how it's literally not possible for them to do these things. It's like saying with the right fuel, your car could drive over the Atlantic. Understanding how nodes work, how layers work, and how gradient descent works is fundamental to realizing this is true. While modern systems have lots of advanced features like nodes that remember things over time and complex systems made of dozens of smaller task-specific models, those things don't change the fundamental limitations of dataset availability, data quality, and the fact that the system is at it's core trying to make a number smaller. (Any time you tell someone to optimize a handful of numerical metrics, they will find "cheats" to technically fit your requirements, and AI does this too.) This video restored my faith in humanity a little. I'm sharing that segment around. You earned a like, a subscriber, and a binge watcher.

Easily in my top 5 videos ever watched. What a show. Out of curiosity, how do you even write a script for a video like this?

watched this after my playthroughs I didn't realize there was a way around the daddy long leg gravity gauntlet towards the end of five pebbles. The fly buzzer sections looks so much easier lmao

why is your odyssey so laggy lmao

1:00:20 "if you're an insulated white trash five year old boy in the cultural void of 2004, you don't just see something like Red-Eyes Black Metal Dragon and go on with your day" wow you can't just call me out like that

It annoys me that people think unions = socialism/communism. Unions are people freely organizing to work for shared interests... you know, like what happens in a healthy free market?

I loved this video - I avoided watching it until now because I thought it was just going to be clickbait with the typical alarmist talking points - but no, this video aptly summarizes the current stage we're in as a species, how we got here, and what to do next. It doesn't waste your time with BS. It's really heavy and tough to get through, but I really think it's an extremely important video that everyone should watch.

Would love to hear your thoughts on Grim Dawn, since you're a POE enjoyer looking for good ARPGs, I think you would love it, and would be interesting to see how you think it contrasts with Diablo 4.

Nice to see someone not saying "diablo 1 was only good because it inspired diablo 2 and there is nothing that wasn't improved" I enjoyed my diablo 2 remaster playthrough last year, but boy howdy did I prefer my subsequent diablo 1 replay afterwards... even with flaws. The tone, progression, restrictions and even roguelike presentations of tomes and staves made the whole experience feel... fresh. And also, the quests and lore books, there were more than I remembered.

wow. The assessment of what AI can generate is pretty out of date, but it's gone in the direction predicted in this video, and pretty much every other point made in the video, especially about OpenAI and Microsoft, remains entirely true. You could make a follow-up/update video, but tbh it would be pretty short.

this video is actually so depressing and hard to watch.

omg. this is just edgy Genshin Impact, but at AAA prices. lmao

I honestly have not the time to verify everything in your videos, but i do appretiate very much the well researched arguments, i can say that much.

I am currently watching all of your videos and I gotta say that I loved almost everything you made so far. You're like, really cool and stuff. Despite making rather critical videos, you avoid being an asshole like the plague. I do feel like you really like the things you talk about.

Crazy how so many people fail to realize that this is it. AI is going to be sentient soon, not because I know anything about AI but because of the natural order of things. We're currently at the point on the technology evolution curve where it shoots straight up. Everything is rapidly evolving and changing everyday. This is not normal. Humans were never meant to live like this in any capacity. AI and technology will only evolve faster and faster until something gives and everything comes crashing down. We will never get to travel amongst the stars. This is it. This is the future.

The idea you can write even (especially!) ambient game dialogue with AI is such an out-of-touch take. We've come along from the days of "GOOD DAY, I HEAR THE FOLK WEST ARE SUMMONING DEVILS" but that stuff exists for a clear reason. It signposts quests, gives background exposition, establishes narrative tone and theme, and points the player in the right direction. *Good* ambient dialogue is a subtle art. It's hard! And it boggles the mind these executives are allowed to run companies where they don't even understand that much about the product. Lacking the most basic media literacy. No wonder they fall for AI's promises.

"Any business that has to write a slavery policy is probably up to something." On the one hand, the vile reality is that every pro-worker law exists because a company tried it once (looking at you, workplace H&S regs). But on the other hand, that's going to haunt me moving forward.

And I strongly believe AI haters are big enemies of science and technology development.

i'm stunned i haven't been subscribed to you yet after watching pay to win, your guided tours, the raiden fighters video, and finally this one. also to add to the indie games, Selaco is a fantastic tactical fps built in GZDoom, and Blue Revolver is a recently released indie sh'mup that got me into the genre.

That "exploiting people at their lowest" point is so true, I've rarely been in a happy state of mind when I've spent money on game cosmetics. The most monetarily successful live service games make you feel empty inside while simultaneously making you not want to stop playing, aka League of Legends.

thankee, Jimmy. You've got a gift for storytelling and analysis

The second chat GPT got all of the publicity it got last year, I was skeptical of generative AI simply because of all the HYPE! Anything with that much hype surrounding it can’t possibly be that valuable. If it’s so great, why does it have to be crammed down our throats?

Hi! Can you share background music names please?

1:10:28 thats literally what those millions in investments should be used for, but instead we are getting fed with meaningless "art" and everything that is supposed to be human

My greatest issue with Sam Altman really is the insufferable level of vocal fry he displays in these interviews. Ick

Is there a next video in this series?

Armor used to look cool asf with lore behind them; With what they did often being tied to the lore. Now, anything with an ounce of effort put into it is usually reserved for the store.

If you want another rouge like that heavily depends on sound id recommend Shinonome small underrated indie title

wtf cyberpunk future are we looking into here

"Any company that has to write a 'Slavery Policy' is up to something." 😂👏

Triple A games sure are slop huh. I will now use this as justification to pirate indie games.

Great video!

This videos ass

2:07:43 I am going to violently disagree with this statement. People in game development are being laid off for two reasons; AI, and a reduction in demand for games now that the pandemic is over. It’s the industry trying to extract more work from its workforce for less pay, combined with the end of a temporary spike in demand for video games they knew was coming. Games are cheaper and easier than ever to make, as well as more in demand at all levels of polish/effort- the indie market proves that. Don’t let the AAA industry fool you into thinking they have to go to live service models- they’d simply prefer to because they make money on them hand over fist. If modders can update Skyrim modern graphics, for free, on their off time, AAA studios can produce games without relying on gambling to fund them. Lining your corporate executives pockets is not a necessary cost of game development.

Congrats on your views. Great video btw.

I can't recall the last time I watched a piece of media where almost every sentence carries weight and meaning. You've put a lot of effort into producing this and it shows. Excellent work.

Local braindead companies try to make the chisel into the artisan. Ai is a tool, it can be used to add to things or imrpove the creative process, for example, everyone loves minecraft, but the worlds of minecraft are procedurally generated, but the ai is not the creator, it is just there to help improve the game, I used to make these silly backrooms levels on a fandom and I would on occasion use ai images for them, but the images were never the page, they were just there to help add to the page, all of the writing was done by me. What I am trying to say is the paintbrush is worthless without the artist, and no, writing prompts does not count, you are just telling a plagarist what you want and then calling it a day, there is no creativity there.

Yo this shit cave story (compliment)

So far you've helped with 5 sleeps and I'm only 40 mins in. Thanks!

Every day Manuel DeLanda's "War In The Age of Intelligent Machines" gets more prescient

thank you for making this video! incredibly well thought out, the antithesis of AI bs

"We've heard you had little time to work on your art projects because you work. so we designed a machine that can do art for you so you can focus full time on your job and making our investors and executives richer"

1:10 its not true, theres not progress, monsters are always there and you dont need better gear, iron is fine, theres no incentive to go to dimond unless you want to dig faster

Great video, but could you just stop with the disturbing music from hell? It really stands in the way.
