Far Cry 3 is probably my favourite of the series I’ve played.
- Comment on "Saw XI" has been canceled 4 weeks ago:
Perdido Street Station is probably my favourite book ever, and would make an insane film if done right.
- Comment on Anon, the All-Knowing 5 weeks ago:
I mean his character is very arrogant. He probably believes that it’s beneath him to do the hard work of killing them, so he gets the player character to do it instead, safe in the belief that he can best them when the moment comes. He’s presumably the leader of the Roundtable Hold for a reason, which is to say he’s capable in combat as well as seeking knowledge. He evidently thinks he’s got what it takes to take down some up-and-coming Tarnished. He’s very wrong.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show that the future of RPGs is in games way more ambitious, weird and unexpected than anything Bethesda and Bioware have to offer 1 month ago:
If you’re even remotely interested in Warhammer 40k, the Rogue Trader CRPG is excellent

Just watched this video myself last night. Really good. His other video on positive tipping points is worth a watch to.

This was a good film. Takes a while to ‘get going’ but still fun.
- Comment on What movies have you watched this week? 2 months ago:
I watched Robert Egger’s Nosferatu. It was good, not as good as The Witch or The Lighthouse IMO, but still good.

Immortals was a banger of a film.

- Comment on If AI spits out stuff it's been trained on 2 months ago:
Sexton says criminals are using older versions of AI models and fine-tuning them to create illegal material of children. This involves feeding a model existing abuse images or photos of people’s faces, allowing the AI to create images of specific individuals. “We’re seeing fine-tuned models which create new imagery of existing victims,” Sexton says. Perpetrators are “exchanging hundreds of new images of existing victims” and making requests about individuals, he says. Some threads on dark web forums share sets of faces of victims, the research says, and one thread was called: “Photo Resources for AI and Deepfaking Specific Girls.”
The model hasn’t necessarily been trained with CSAM, rather you can create things called LORAs which help influence the image output of a model so that it’s better at producing very specific content that it may have struggled with before. For example I downloaded some recently that help Stable Diffusion create better images of Battleships from Warhammer 40k. My guess is that criminals are creating their own versions for kiddy porn etc.
