All the bad things aside you're right, we are trying to create something similar to a consciousness that can make decisions like a human being and for all the easy computational system logic you can give an AI the hardest thing to make it do is make human-like decisions. At the end of day it will learn and never repeat its mistakes again but then it loses some of its human nature which is why I feel like this is all just for betterment of co-existing systems rather than being a mimic of tribal nature systems. If the system did decide, however, to start eradicating other systems because it felt that they were threats to progression or because they just weren't necessary anymore that would certainly align with human thinking and how progression can sometimes mean discarding what isn't working anymore.

Just a little death and genocide, you know business as usual.

"They then ran two experiments to test the algorithm’s performance. In the first one, it had to infer the alliances of players in a video game by watching several sequences of game play. In the second, it had to predict the players’ actions in the same video game to see whether it truly understood each player’s motivations. It wasn’t trained for either task." I suppose the next step is to get the AI to then make tactical decisions on what to do based on the social interaction with the elements it was observing. I find this particularly interesting because just the other day I was making fun of HAL and how it lost its marbles and killed everyone aboard the ship. In the same joking vein, can you imagine an AI throwing a tantrum and suddenly deciding that the social aspect it was most interested in was building relationships with other systems to eliminate the one it thought was a risk. Fun times.

You just don't ask gaming related questions on places like that. What's even funnier is that 'supposedly' he got help too.

Whittling injury list and at the right time as well, congested fixture list in the middle of February and onwards so having more players back is always good even if they aren't 100% match fit.

I figured they'd make people grind for things like this to make them elusive but then again its more profitable to have people pay for it I guess. Strange but I have never paid for anything like this ever and I'd garner they are making loads of it to warrant that price which is so obscure.

Just replayed RE:Revelations and don't remember it being as much as it was this time around. Fun game and pretty cheap too, the story was actually quite well thought out as well.

I'm going to try and see whether I can connect but yeah we should play sometime seeing as it would be a lot more fun online. Have you finished the World of Light?

@Bluebird Hewitt have you tried Smash online? Seems like its consistently dropping and not connecting for me.

The expedition died before it began haha.

Brendan is an odd-ball if you ask me. He comes out with these weird post-game pressers where he'll blow smoke up everyone's backside with praise even if you've had a shitty game. It's an admirable quality granted but ultimately one that will mean nothing if the results don't back it up. As mentioned above he has a philosophy he won't desert even if its not garnering the results he wants and you're going to need some fantastic players to balance out the pain you'll go through as you'll start to adopt said philosophy. I don't know if he'd take up a job in England considering he's doing so well where he's at but I would avoid him if possible. I can't see why you'll can't attract someone like Jardim who has now renounced his move to China and if rumors are to be believed, he wants out and to a new club.

Just read that Fabinho has picked up a knock from the Palace game now? Wow the curse of injuries really does like following us around.

I'll keep it short so as to get back to what this thread is about. Gaming, as you said, isn't just an entertainment block anymore and has gone beyond it for good or bad depending on how you see it. Will we all like what's happened? Probably not. Do I agree with what/anything you've said? Only a blind person would think so. So, like I said, in the interest of not going around in circles about things we'll never see eye-to-eye on I'll close the argument here because honestly its adding zero value to this thread. Feel free to continue it if you'd like but I still think the gaming industry hasn't lots its charm totally and puts out grade A (in some cases industry altering) titles every two years or so and maybe they are hard to come across but if you look hard enough you'll find whatever works for you.

Finally played Bright Memory Ep. 1 this weekend https://store.steampowered.com/app/955050/Bright_Memory__Episode_1/ Actually quite good and not your run-of-the-mill shooter. Plus its cheap on Steam so if you like games with a lot of weapon switching then this might be up your alley. The amazing thing is that this entire game was written by a single person and apparently its gotten very good reviews which I suppose are fair since its got quite a bit of content as well. I just hope they keep it as fresh for Ep 2.

We're not real Pirates are we till we start drinking some Rum I suppose. So you're safe @nudge. Where we off to first, lets get the adventure started. I am half convinced we're playing some weird form of Dungeons and Dragons here haha.

I'd drink to that except someone drank all the liquor. Wonder who.

Crew meeting room right above the Laboratory. Now where have I seen that before ... oh.

I agree to everything said above except for me being the flight officer and captain of this crazy adventure. From past experience I work best when I am not running the show and am thrust into tough situations and I personally like it that way. Having said that may I suggest we get @nudge an IV bag filled with her alcohol of choice so that we don't cause unnecessary broken glass hazards across the vessel. Never had to deal with this one on the Nostromo.

I honestly can't see what they've done very different from the last one. Bigger character roster?

For this alone I think you get to pick the robot that comes on the ship. As long as its not an android I can live with it.

Used to be a time we couldn't tie down our best players and now we've managed to do it quite successfully. Progress? I'd like to think so.

We've all watched 2001 do you really want a robot or AI in charge of anything space and exploratory related? Actually, its okay if it goes AWOL i'll just put it to bed.

well one does kill Aliens and the other is infamous for taking down mechas the size of buildings.

Yeah I did. Was curious what it would throw at me and I wasn't terribly disappointed to be honest. Lots of quality content in this thread been going through it slowly. Never figured @Bluewolf to be a comic fan either.
