  • Obsession (2.1e) is a 1~4 player, 90mins, competitive, worker placement game (bgg link)
  • player play as mid 19th century Victorian upper class families
  • each family (player) competing to better their social position, reputation and family fortune by building new rooms/venues and hosting successful social events with the help of their servants staff (worker meeples) they hire along the game
  • there is also a goal of attracting the most elligible gentleman and lady in the county to marry into their family for more prestige
  • its like Downton Abbey (TV series) the game
  • playthroughs and tutorials: JonGetsGames, Heavy Cardboard, Rahdo

the kickstarter (~$50, 8 days left)

  • does not contain the base game. only the latest expansion and optional gold coins
  • this is the 3rd expansion and supposedly last (source: trust me bro)
    • excl. the upgrade pack from 2e to 2.1e
    • there is supposedly another game planned in the Obsession universe which use some of the tiles in Obsession (source)
  • will be available retail, no kickstarter exclusives it seems

besides having been interested in the game and theme for a long time, i thought the video was an interesting watch going over the issues with how boardgame kickstarters are these days

but quantum resistant encryption are important even now despite that because of store now, decrypt later of long-term sensitive information

Because it is so clear it takes a long time to realize it. If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, the meal was cooked a long time ago.

the vast majority of employed artists aren’t making anything as creative as cover art for a hobbyist board game.

its not just the cover art for a hobbyist board game, it is art for every card in the game. for hobbyist card games, it can go to several hundred to thousand artworks each from an artist. for a game like Android Netrunner the art of each card works with the theme and mechanics of the game acting like a brief window into this futuristic society world you compete in. (also blatant shilling, this is a great game if anyone is into cyberpunk and card games, unlike anything Magic the Gathering can ever hope to achieve), there is also graphic design for games like Kanban EV (by Ian O'Toole) which is unlike anything ive seen. boardgame hobbyists can and do regularly buy these things with quality visuals

maybe im too emotionally invested into games but i think these art, and the art for things like beloved character design for computer games, decorative tarot cards, novel artwork which take you to another world even if just for a brief moment, is worth encouraging, putting up with Barbie Monopoly and paying for

the alternative i fear would be these people's time being spent instead on working soulless jobs like labelling training data for genAI models, manual work which so far only humans are cheap enough for and figuring out how to squeeze more money out of consumers

[-] thewitchofcalamari 4 points 9 months ago

just like vinyl and other vintage works, i do think it will be a shame that human produced art will become scarce and likely only for the rich to enjoy. i dont see why they would share it freely anymore

And even if they somehow totally disappear, people will find plenty of new and exciting ways to continue to push the boundaries of what AI can do

this assumes that genAI models can improve without any new input. but to be honest, it feels more like a, once they wipe out a generation of artist, they are free to increase the price of their "Skill as a Service" out of the reach of an average person for more profit. the GPU and water the genAI models run on arent getting any cheaper so no risk of anyone spinning up their own cluster

[-] thewitchofcalamari 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

People who use AI will create a better cheaper product

i feel like this assumes that there will still be human produced art to train on to improve the genAI model when there isnt any incentive for humans to spend so much time to learn to make art when it can be used for training and when machines can churn out pieces at a faster cheaper rate

(c) Restrictions. You may not ... (iii) use output from the Services to develop models that compete with OpenAI;

from section 2ciii of OpenAI's Terms of Use somehow while its justifiable for corporations to use human produced work to train a machine that competes with humans, using corporate machine produced work to train a competing machine is not

thanks bot, updated

i dont think theyre equivalent tools since Terraform is used for things like creating cloud VMs with the selected OS image, configuring subnets and route tables among other things which i dont believe NixOS is meant for
