Major difference is that in Hollywood, you don’t hire a bunch of, say, VFX artists for a movie, you contract the company that retains them. They’ll generally still have jobs when the movie is over. It’s mostly just the cast, director and writers that work on a per-project basis. Games industry is somehow worse than Hollywood.

Use free Gemini to move off Gmail, double damage

Yes because the last time their economy got screwed up in 2008, nothing happened in the rest of the world…

The entire world is interconnected through trade among other things. The US disappearing suddenly will fuck everything up, not as bad as China disappearing suddenly but still pretty bad

That’s what it is though? You can’t put opinions in news. Even if your opinion is correct.

TBoGT was Luis, who was pretty much what VI’s male protag (Jason?) should’ve been. He actually had a personality other than just being the big badass guy.

I suspect the reason they haven’t had female protagonists before is just pure male defaultism rampant in the gaming industry. Gamers would’ve made a ton of noise in the past. Otherwise, a game with Catalina as the protagonist could’ve been really interesting.

I suspect two things:

The world will be more immersive and less soulless once we can actually navigate it. It’s also the first time there’s been a swamp in GTA which is cool.

Lucia will be by far the better protagonist. The other one seems poorly written and with a voice completely mismatching the character model. I think Lucia will have more depth and her voice is more pleasant.

This game is what’s finally going to push me upgrade my 3060Ti in a few years but… I’m not exactly hopeful on there being anything to upgrade to. Would prefer to skip nvidia and amd has decided to abandon the high end market but if I’m upgrading, I’d like to go up a tier or two, not just a few generations. I want to be blown away by the card that’s going to have to last me the next 5-10 years.

I’m also guessing there won’t be a new GPU generation out next year.

RDR1 was a special case, San Diego didn’t port their previous few games either which is why we don’t have Midnight Club LA on PC for example.

GTA is too big. It’s guaranteed extra sales for a game they already have. Same with RDR2, it was heaps more popular than the first (which itself was more popular than expected I guess) so leaving it console exclusive was never really on the table.

He’ll even bring his own mega Dutch oven to do it in. The white house

Oh shit, wrong kind of Dutch oven

The good news is that there’s nothing stopping us from starting a competitor. Nvidia probably wants to use it to push their graphics cards.

Because the authors may want to take down their models or change the datasets after the fact probably.

Not that it removes from users computers, but at least the primary source can be made unavailable at will

? Github can cost tons of money if you abuse runners

Nvidia also sells super expensive graphics cards. They probably want you to buy a couple of 5090s or a Spark.

They know they can’t shut down the entire self hosted LLM market but they can direct it towards using Nvidia GPUs by making sure llama.cpp devs don’t spend much time on ROCm support, etc. And they probably know that ClosedAI and Anthropic’s days on the frontier are limited.

Economic hardship is coming either way, the deal wasn’t fair and Trump would reneg either way. Good on Canadians for not trying appeasement.

After laying everyone off, I’m not sure they have anyone left to instruct the AI competently. It was never a great organization for talented engineers anyway (not saying they didn’t have any but that the ones they did have would always be underutilised)

“Just fix it with some mcgyver tape” is also absolutely something you hear in my country

Wagner group alone is a neonazi organization that had tens of thousands of members just a few years ago, an order of magnitude more than the famous Azov brigade. And it’s literally named after Hitler’s favourite composer.

Neonazis are only an issue for Putin when they can be used as justification for war. Otherwise, they don’t matter.

Yes because Russia isn’t always looking for justification for war.

There are multiple countries in Eastern Europe that likely would no longer be independent without NATO. My own home among them.

Neighbours that aren’t in an alliance seem to get invaded. Georgia first, now Ukraine twice.

Russia always finds a genocide or whatever to justify military action. Both Georgia and Ukraine were mentioned as targets all the way back in 1997.

3060 ti 8GB and 32 GB DDR4 says no, I can’t do that or anything else useful with a local model.

However. Deepseek V4 flash is very cheap and fast. It’ll do anything simple and some complex things you throw at it
