It literally isn't random. They're good enough that they were able to geofence Apple to hide the fact they were tracking users

It's very much not just "same animals" but parts of Pals looking like they were traced or at least copied visually from existing Pokemon, as well many Pals directly copying color schemes from similar Pokemon.

The important bit:

At 4pm PDT on April 8, 2024, online play and other functionality that uses online communication will end for Nintendo 3DS* and Wii U software. This also includes online co-operative play, internet rankings, and data distribution.

I doubt they can unless Palworld literally stole models from Pokemon. While some of the designs are pretty blatantly copied, if they can't prove the devs copied directly from them there's not much of a case

Off the top of my head we've had Digimon, Monster Hunter: Stories, Yo-Kai Watch, Dragon Quest Monsters, Cassette Beasts, TemTem, Ooblets and Monster Crown. The only one that really hit it pretty big was TemTem and it was nowhere near the success of this.

Are we looking at the same picture? It's not that it's a grin on the cat, it's that it looks nearly 1-1 traced from Pokemon

Everyone disliked that

As Randall Munroe would put it, duty calls

I've seen estimates that it costs $30+ dollars per month per user to run these AI models. And that doesn't even include how expensive it is to build and train these systems. I imagine this is what will ruin the appeal of AI for a lot of people, as right now we're in the honeymoon phase where a bunch of it is free or low cost but as they raise prices it'll get less appealing.

Most survival games have tired me out at this point but the vibes of this and the dedication to the car mechanics might pull me back in. Probably better to wait and see if they improve the UI though

Seconding SmartTube, it's also just straight up better than the YouTube app on top of the adblocking

Legitimately thought this was from the Onion

Data is surprisingly cheap. It's more than likely just reinvesting any profits into growth to boost stock price/investment. A lot of companies are hitting the point where growth is leveling off, so they've switched to cutting costs

You'd have a point if the printing presses only put out randomized, meaningless chicken scratch, but instead you're conflating how art is presented with the art itself.

Prompting a machine isn't creating art any more than commissioning an artist is creating art. Writers still had to actually write books to print, AI removes everything between the initial idea and the final product.

The printing press didn't change the text inside the books and made books widely available to the public. Art is already everywhere, we don't need AI to have enough of it and it fundamentally replaces what is actually good about art.

augment their production quality

Lmao

And Tamagotchis weren't ugly as sin either!

Web 360, because when you see it you'll turn 360 degrees and walk away

Is it though? 100k isn't really a lot after Steam's cut and taxes (unless you live in a cheap CoL country). Even with a 1-person team it probably breaks down to about 50k a year after Steam/taxes and that's only if you make a top 5 percent game on your own.

Elsewhere in the report it mentions that games have become increasingly winner take all, where in 2016 top games only made up 37% of all revenue, now they take up 61%.
