Emerging from the cinders.

The correct title would be like "Towards a game engine for the AI Generation" basically noting that it's an engine built in the age of AI and they're using it to help track down bugs, improve testing and work with its codebase. I don't love that stuff but it's a world away from GenAI.

EG fell for it too. :( The Capcom presentation contains a slide with "AI世代のゲームエンジンへ" - the article omits the "へ", for one, but the issue is that while 世代 means 'generation', it's in the 'console generation' sense, not like GenAI. Without へ, translation software gets it totally wrong.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

If you think an artist's style looks like AI but you can scroll back through their portfolio and see them doing the same work before 2020, congrats, you're not looking at an AI grifter. You're looking at one of the original victims whose entire style AI stole.

Finally watching Alpha and 46 minutes in I'm both loving this and thinking about how many pieces action and spy fiction have setups and twists straight out of a soap opera. And how the difference in presentation can make people love or hate the respective resulting ridiculousness.. :D

That's a wrap on Star Wars Zero Company, quite the excellent game and thus, naturally, most of the developers were let go already within a month of release and great reviews. Can't make that shit up.
