Nine Parchments - Top down Magic slinging romp. Similar to the Majica series, but with less knowing how to do certain key-press combos.

Orcs Must Die 2 - 3rd person tower defense where you place traps and use spells and weapons to take down foes. Continues the story of the first game, which did not have multiplayer, unfortunately.

Children of Morta - Top down dungeon crawler. Take on the roles of a family trying to hunt down an ancient evil. Like the Belmont's of Castlevania fame.

Full Metal Furies - Top down action fighter. Fight the Titans as some of the last remaining survivors of Ragnarok. Fun dialing with a good-sized world map to explore.

Astroneer - 3rd person survival crafting on a randomized planet. Cute component designs and a unique air management system. Plays best with a mouse & keyboard.

Deep Rock Galactic - Space Dwarves Corporate mining simulator. You and up to 4 friends drive do into infested planetoids in order to make some Gold. Destructible terrain and shenanigans.

I'm not sure why anyone is surprised.

There's a literal plan on what to do if a zombie outbreak were to occur, so why do one think preparing for something more plausible is off the table?

While, yes it is not copy and paste in the literal sense, it does still have the capacity to outright copy the style of an artist's work that was used to train it.

If teaching another artist's work is already frowned upon when trying to pass the trace off as one's own work, then there's little difference when a computer does it more convincingly.

Maybe a bit off tangent here, since I'm not even sure if this is strictly possible, but if a generative system was only trained off of, say, only Picasso's work, would you be able to pass the outputs off as Picasso pieces? Or would they be considered the work of the person writing a prompt or built the AI? What if the artist wasn't Picasso but someone still alive, would they get a cut of the profits?

The art isn't being made btw so much as being copy and pasted in a way that might convince you it was new.

Since the AI cannot create a new style or genre on its own, without source material that already exists to train it, and that source material is often scraped up off of databases, often against the will and intent of the original creators, it is seen as theft.

Especially if the artists were in no way compensated.

Iirc, the higher water content keeps the alcohol from evaporating off as fast, keeping it in contact with the surface for a longer period of time.

the government aims to ensure that financial advisers “give advice that’s prudent, that’s loyal, that doesn’t invite overcharges, and doesn’t involve lying to people,” said Timothy D. Hauser, the deputy assistant secretary for program operations of the Employee Benefits Security Administration, part of the Labor Department.

Not just taking away power, this will literally get people killed.

Most of those regulations that are hurting his theoretical efficiency were written in blood.

Fractally weird. No matter how or where you look at them they are just as weird as any other bit of them.

My trackball mice have had parts deteriorate at around the two year mark before. After this one breaks, usually the scrollwheel or the left click key, I'm switching to an opensource trackball system.

Especially when one of the loudest religions actively want to doom the world so that their sky daddy can show everyone else how right they were this whole time...

What do you expect from a suicidal death cult.

Which is better, though? The current fascist-laden one we currently have, or the theoretical one that that has lost its power?

There is a third option. Watering down the political hack judges control by adding enough justice that some form of representation is back on the menu.

Or adding some effective checks and balances to reign them in, much like the system was designed for, back when politics had the nievety to think the system could never be sabotaged by bad actors.
