Game AIs

by Jack on March 29, 2023 at 12:01 am
Posted In: Diaries

I absolutely had the attention of the Cybernetic Council, though I had no clue they were watching me. The thing is that the more you interact with an AI, the greater the chances that it will wake up. This is still a very rare thing you understand, but human interaction increases the chance. And the more interaction you have, the more the chance goes up. Now I interacted with these characters a lot. And I didn’t treat them like dumb AI servants. I treated them like the real life version of their character. And I left them turned on all the time, so they were interacting with each other as well. I basically started up a cybernetic incubator without knowing it, and left it on to see what would happen. The cybers were absolutely monitoring the situation.

BattleTech Demo Army

This is my BattleTech House Steiner Army, painted with the Army Painter Metallic Colours Paintset. I am a big fan of the paints by the way, and absolutely recommend them to people.

I will be running my first BattleTech Alpha Strike demo at Gamez & More on Friday April 7th at 5PM, in the strip mall across from Silver Lake Shopping Center. Come on over if you want to see this and other armies with your Mark One Eyeball.

Never Forget

by Medron Pryde on March 27, 2023 at 12:01 am
Posted In: Diaries

Never Forget that three years ago we put a stake into the heart of one of the greatest economic booms we have had in my lifetime. Fifteen Days to Stop the Spread. To lower the curve. To save lives. It had many names in time. Never Forget that some States still have not opened back up again. While those States that did are booming. But we are still dealing with a supply chain in tatters, and dozens of other major issues. Bank failures. Increasing health problems and crime rates. Never Forget the world we had three years ago. It was taken away from us by government lockdowns and mandates, not by a new virus from China. Never Forget.

Jasmine Art

AI Art is interesting. I have been rendering my own stuff on my machines for a decade now. I can customize exactly what I want, and then get it. It takes a lot of time twisting dials and then hitting render and hoping it works out though. It probably took me between a week and a month to get my Jasmine model to exactly how I liked it. AI Art takes out the hours, days, or more of preparation time, and replaces it with a scattergun approach. I spent a few minutes putting in some text prompts saying what I was looking for, and asked the AI engine to give me some samples. Night Cafe Studio sent me around a hundred, and I sorted them down to one that I liked. Jasmine looks like she is done with someone’s crap. Probably Jack. Jack can be a pain in the butt.

Jasmine Art

The AI art craze is changing the art world. Even artists who used to do “traditional” 3D rendering have shifted over to using AI art. It just so happens that a computer rig built for high end renders can also run an AI art installation in local. Instead of spending minutes or hours twisting the dials to get just the right look, can now put in some text prompts and generate a few dozen possible shots in a matter of minutes, all via your own computer’s graphics card. My rig can’t do that, but free AI render sites are available. I run hundreds of sample renders while writing, narrow them down to a few dozen that I actually like, and then pick one or three to use as final reference pics. This is Jasmine gone anime via the dezgo dot com everything anime 4.0 engine.
