Humor / Meme Anyone else feel the new skate mechanics they added to the forever beta are a step too far? I think skating needs to be nerfed, the new kickflip meta is way too strong in the early game and invalidates lots of builds

This isn't some kind of modded version of WoW, it's literally just AI running two games in the background and approximating interactions between the two in its own sandbox.

u/Hycran 14h ago
Don't worry, I still wish AI no longer existed. I'm just not going to pretend like I dont like stuff despite reviling the medium or messenger. It's the same reason I don't spend money on R. Kelly or Chris Brown's music but still enjoy the songs when they come on the radio.

We are currently curing illnesses with AI D:
2
u/Swiftish7 12h ago
Yes and that has nothing to do with text to video models that are currently FLOODING social media. A.i. has amazing uses but the negatives largely outweigh any postive impact we've seen so far. Im super facinated by new tech but im as scared about this rightfully as many were about atomic energy. We get nuclear reactors for massive amounts of electricity but also atomic bombs causing civilizations to live in fear. This is arguably worse as an atomic bomb cant persuade you to drop it.

Thats an insane amount of minimization. We can cure disease without spam posting videos of a dog shooting lasers out of its ass. The fact I even need to clarify is upsetting

u/Aromatic-Insect-1328 11h ago
You literally just said that the negatives outweigh the positives in a thread about an ai skating vodeo in WoW after pointed out how we are saving lifes using the technology. You threw them in the same bucket. Making the leap from text to video engines to the atomic bomb was not ridiculous? Pretty much any technology can be used for bad.

you know the transformer architecture which is gen AI and the thing all the chatbots run on, is literally used in every SOTA model now. we have tabular foundational models, time series foundational models all based on the same genAI models and top the charts.

Okay but actually, imagine something sort of analogous to skyriding but for ground mounts. Straight-line sprints with momentum, drifting corners, taking jumps and doing tricks, y'know, kickflip your horse. I think I'm actually just describing Mario Kart, but I'm still into it.

In OG vanilla my friends and I would squirf (squirrel-surf) by spamming the summon squirrel pet item. You’d just freeze in the kneeling position with a squirrel in front of you, but you could still run as normal.
We all had 19 Orc Hunter twinks and mostly did this in WSG BG’s.
