Almost like clockwork, every 6 months a media outlet will suddenly discover games user research and flip out. Louder for the folks at the back: we exist. Psychology is relevant. Player data is hard. Research is a specialist skill. Players are complicated.

Text-to-3D is around the corner... I made this with OpenAI Point-E on Hugging Face (link below 👇). Prompt: "Beautiful Christmas tree, red and green" I spent thousands of hours making 3D models by scanning. Being able to generate 3D from text is... sorcery. 2023 will be WILD.

2023 is the year of AI. You can build AI apps with no-code tools, even if you're not a developer or haven't built a website before. Take our Building Apps with AI course and learn to build text and image generation apps using: - Bubble - Stable Diffusion - GPT-3 - DALLE-2

it's still wild to me that both Unity's and CSS's animation curves use 2D béziers in a 1D function, because you have to do a cubic root solve to evaluate it is there a name for this type of curve? it's like halfway between a 1D bézier and a 2D bézier

ChatGPT: Teachers Weigh In on How to Manage the New AI Chatbot edweek.org/teaching-learn…

an AI going through a catalogue of someone's art portfolio to train an image generation model, feels insulting and violating a human studying someone's art and learning from it, is flattering if you don't know why there's a difference, you need to talk to more artists

Poem Brut

whenever "game bad" discourse happens there's quickly two camps forming, "game bad" vs "it's not bad, actually" but I think it's entirely possible that a thing is both bad and enjoyable, we should enjoy bad things more often!

Our community is always growing! - co-create, test, & implement interoperable protocols - swarm problem statements and discovery efforts - get diverse feedback, for better iterations - less ego, more ways you can make an impact - no membership fee, or token-gating.

any unity physics experts know what's going on here? it's really bizarre

Artists support artists. 🤝 I've found this to be a core part of building any creative scene, and especially true in the music industry. ❤️ Stoked to be doing my part to support the @Hedera #MusicNFT community by picking up a @derrrtybeats Whitelist Pass! 🙌🎶 #HederaMusicNFTs

Very important point: when you’re optimizing content for an algorithm, your audience is computers.

We need a podcast episode(s) on the topic of AI art/writing and how we visualize its effect on the future Art. Both negative & positive points should be discussed. I think there’s so many points to discuss that it could be more than one episode. Not just hearing from those who

With all the GPT4-will-change-everything hype and fanfare happening now, it is worth mentioning that I just had to deal with some rural contractors that DIDN’T HAVE EMAIL ADDRESSES. The system of the world has more inertia than it sometimes seems.

we were given a Distant Early Warning we didn’t listen then will we listen now?

XR & AI are co-developing together. Here's NVIDIA Omniverse ecosystem including digital twins, design & engineering, sensor models, systems manufacturers, content creation & rendering, robotics, synthetic data sets & simready 3D assets, & systems integration & service providers.

Looking forward to catching the recordings of this Philosophy of Deep Learning conference reflecting on the deeper patterns of AI and the current inflection point. You can catch the livestream of the last day of #phildeeplearning via phildeeplearning.github.io/streaming

Today is the 10th anniversary of the Oculus DK1 shipping & the modern resurgence of consumer VR. I interviewed Palmer Luckey last month reflecting on the early days of consumer VR & how affordable & easily accessible VR dev kits catalyzed a new industry. voicesofvr.com/1174-palmer-lu…
