Pages load more slowly, scrolling isn't smooth, etc. The user experience just feels worse. I have to use Edge and Chrome for work and they feel so much snappier and more enjoyable to use.

Not sure what that guy or you are talking about. AGI and ASI are both accepted industry terms in this space. You also don't need AGI to have ASI - a paperclip maximiser is ASI - that's why it's a powerful weapon.

All of this is media trying to translate the new cold war into terms people who grew up in the pre-AI world can understand, to bring the public along with policy they wouldn't otherwise grasp.

The truth that the national security people on both sides understand is that ASI is coming and whoever builds it first has a good shot at essentially winning the IRL tech victory, and the only way to defend against ASI is your own ASI. Whoever has the most, best chips has the best ASI.

If the Chinese or US build one unchallenged that's it. That really is the end of history. So they are both going to do everything in their power to slow down the other and accelerate their own progress.

It's slower and clunkier. I use Firefox for privacy and addons, but if I didn't have to I'd probably use Chrome.

Don't drink the water, it makes you forget

Nobody cared it was running on iCloud. People cared it was going to be running on their phones, scanning literally everything they had.

Sounds like you're the one who doesn't get it.

id Tech was already an open world engine with id Tech 5, after being a regular map-based engine for id Tech 4 and the Quake engines preceding it. It was then scaled back to normal maps for id Tech 6.

They can and have made it do whatever they want. What's missing is the will from Bethesda to pay for it.

Oh, you like WW2 documentaries about how liberal democracy crushed fascism strategically, industrially, scientifically and morally?

Well you might enjoy these videos made by actual Nazis complaining about gender neutral bathrooms!

Now that they've entrenched an entire alternative universe in an election-winning proportion of the population, they don't need it anymore.

Unless YouTube is going to be deliberately directing people to deprogramming content it's too late.

The EU wouldn't really stand for that.

Everyone hires modders. Bioware has been hiring them since 2005. Mods are basically a portfolio.

It's crazy.

Bethesda have owned id Software, the best graphics engineers in the business, for a decade. They now even have Microsoft money. This is still, somehow, the best they can do.

It blows my mind that Bethesda have owned id Software for over a decade and haven't at any point got them to make a version of id Tech engine for their games.

There's literally no reason the graphics wizards at id couldn't make a Bethesda branch of the engine that uses similar or identical workflows to Creation but also employs all the best practices for a modern open world engine.

Like, modders have made their own Open Morrowind engine from scratch, in their spare fucking time. It runs all the same files and all the same mods work, without any of the drawbacks of the Gamebryo engine. It would be trivial for id's engineers, with their experience and resources, to make something better. For some reason Bethesda just... keep bolting new shit to the creaking husk of their old engine.

They all get reviewed by the same process as reports.

"Did you hear that? Sounds like there's a huge football player getting some hard reps in your mom's room."

Actually encouraging creative use of language and a broad vocabulary to own someone seems like a great outcome?

Some of the best games have come from developers stepping out of their comfort zone.

Alien Isolation and Space Marine were made by RTS developers. Last of Us was made by the Crash Bandicoot developers. Insomniac made Spyro, then FPS series Resistance, then the Spiderman games.

Expecting a developer to only make one type of game forever is probably why they inevitably turn to shit and close.

The fact someone can kill anyone, intentionally or not, and expect to be free soon enough to get a job and pay child support is nuts.

Usually true of refugee populations. People in the West don't realise what it takes to leave your country forever and build a new life from nothing somewhere else. These are strong people who value community and charity because they can't take it for granted anymore.
