Outside of some diorama/action figure stuff and a new story for the Terran Armada dlc, it looks exactly like the old game. As in I wouldn't have realized this was an update stream vs a generic starfield hype vid outside of those two things.

So lol.

Only 3 minutes in though.

Oh wait nevermind cool. They seem to have made space travel not a menu. Now you actually fly everywhere. So that is awesome.

Nah I'm not feeling this at all. Too many examples are seemingly changing facial structure and just adding a realism filter over the image. This is not it

Something that I've really wanted to do is combine two bots.

I don't think the bots are actually smart enough to do this.
I just tried something with copilot, and it kind of can do it as a single instance. But it felt sloppy.

But it would be cool to have two bots - for example have one of them be a Dungeon Master and have one be a player. Where the latter one has no knowledge of the other's thoughts.

You could probably do it with a single instance, but I think chances are good that the model would get confused. 

The way I'm thinking that I would try it, would still technically be a single instance, but just having a program to carefully cull different parts of the context to simulate each bot.

Pi, it's you!
I thought this was a pretty good video. 

The only thing that kind of tweaked my brain, was that he mentions having to figure out how to do online streaming. Would've been good to throw out that Plex does that for you, and Jellyfin doesn't. (And maybe mention that Plex costs money unless he did do that, I'm kind of just thinking about now.)

watched the DF video.

i'm a bit 50/50 on this.  some of the before/after shots looked a lot better.  some looked a lot worse.   i dunno what to say about if the lighting is technically more accurate or not but i would say i didn't like the way it looked.   everything became very bright and washed out.  while faces seemed to get more detail they also look like AI slop.  


people often talk about how UE gives all games a sameyness.   this looks like a leap forward in taking the art out of games.   i absolutely do not want my games to be "photo realistic" most of the time.
