I've started playing Ghostrunner. I've really missed level based games, and the gameplay is just thrilling. It's really been a blast trying to go faster than my friends, as well as collecting all the items in some really well designed levels

Atomic heart! Both gorgeous and well optimized

Man SDXL is gonna be great! Such good pictures without any models, lora etc.

Pls slash me

One group thinks that banning stable diffusion will make the tech go away, instead of forcing everyone to rely on Adobe etc. They are trying to snuff out open source alternatives, since largely only companies can train with paid data.

Another thinks that AI does everything on their own with just a single prompt and soon we will have entire games created by AI or some shit.

Both are horribly incorrect.

AI won't replace human jobs, at least not yet, and banning SD wont do anything. It will just make things worse.

I think a lot of people who want Stable Diffusion AI art to be legally gone here dont understand the implications of what they want.

Midjourney, NovelAI etc. all rely on Stable Diffusion, which is open source, able to be run on your PC for free, and is currently being attacked for copyright. I understand your sentiment against AI art, but no one can make the technology illegal. They can at most make SD illegal since the data it was trained on was copyrighted.

Do you know what will happen if SD becomes illegal to commercially use? Other proprietary AIs will pop up using the exact same tech, but this time with worse and worse monetization, not to mention censorship.

Photoshop already uses diffusion tech now with Adobe firefly. The tech is here to stay, I just hope it stays open source.

For good work, AI art can at most help the artist, not replace them. It is now up in the air not whether AI art will gone, but rather, whether we can download our AI for free or have to rely on shit like Adobe training with the "correct" rights. You can be sure that studios etc. won't be training their own, since training the AI from scratch takes billions (?) Of images (might be millions, dont remember but either way its infeisable)

EDIT: The largest problem is ofc the people whose art was trained on. It's a tough situation, but I don't think killing open source is the fix. I do, however, think that the artists do deserve some kind of compensation. If there was not so much hostility, maybe some kind of donation system to slowly repay the artists could be created? I'd honestly donate myself. The tech is theirs to use for free too, instead of getting paid 100$ or something from Adobe only to pay them back over the years to use their models.

Loving it so far! Playing on nightmare with ironman, and the urgency/fear of the situation is insane. Having to extract as tier 2 aliens start rushing at me is just exhilarating

I hope a car runs over me

Hmm, I get a 404 on most of them :/

:o I've always played these games in multiplayer. Maybe I ought to give the singleplayer a go some time too!
