Because after a few years they complain again when more changes are made because the current game is so good…

Have you got a link for that?

The difficult bit is getting all of the utilities in there in a maintainable way I believe

If I don’t give it any permissions, does it actually do anything though? They only run when the app is open I assume?

Now that’s a good set of patch notes!

They went through a phase where they were getting awful yields. No idea why they had those problems and others didn’t.

The money was to build fabs, which they are still doing - which is costing them most of their money they struggle to afford because their current chips are awful.

Their fabs may be shit too. Hopefully the new ones are better

Is that not a game designer thing?

The mold definitely should be fixed… But are ants not a tennant problem, not a landlord problem?

Have any of the tech media done any work on which generations get improvements from this? Zen 4&5 sure, but what about earlier chips?

There aren’t enough AI specialists. More are being created by picking up these projects.

The problem is that AI is too hyped and people are trying to solve things it probably can’t solve. The projects I have seen work are basically fancy data ingress/parsing/summarisation apps. That’s where the current AI tech can really shine.

If you have the ability to build an AI app in house - holy shit shit that can improve productivity. Copilot itself for office use… Meh so far.

To actually answer your question - yes, but the only times I actually find it useful is for tests, for everything else it’s usually iffy and takes longer.

Intelligently loading the window could be the next useful trick

I think that giving the LLM an API to access additional context and then making it more of an agent style process will give the most improvement.

Let it request the interface for the class your using, let it request the code for that extension method you call. I think that would solve a lot, but I still see a LOT of instances where it calls wrong class/method names randomly.

This would also require a lot more in depth (and language specific!) IDE integration though, so I forsee a lot of price hikes for IDEs in the near future!

I’m going to call BS on that unless they are hiding some new models with huge context windows…

For anything that’s not boilerplate, you have to type more as a prompt to the AI than just writing it yourself.

Also, if you have a behaviour/variable that is similar to something common, it will stubbornly refuse to do what you want.

I mean, my understanding is that they fired half of their story continuity team, resulting in a published (physical) lore book that makes no sense.

So now I don’t think they are even trying

Druids currently have 7 trees. (And a treeent form)

1 class tree, 4 spec trees and 2 (or is it 3 for druids?) hero trees. Only 3 can be used at any one time though (to be clear as you don’t currently play)

The more possible combinations, the harder it can be to balance though

They can’t write good stories any more, don’t expect good main story, just good side quests.

It still feels like this expansion was too early (as usual) and many classes could have done with more time in the oven (druids and rogues)

On the talents - they realised that they can’t just keep giving us stuff, so they have switched to having some kind of ‘borrowed power’ that gets taken away after the expansion - I think the hero talents are another example of this? Some are shit though and I imagine it’s going to be balance hell (rip boomkins too lol), as they never seem to learn with this stuff.

It’s the endgame group content that actually sells wow for many people (me), so as long as that works and it’s ok balance wise (or alts can be leveled easily) then it’s probably ok for quite a few people though.

Disclaimer: have not got early access, have bought the expansion, but left it really late to decide.

I didn’t hear about that, what happened?

I think he has a budget problem mostly. He has executed some games acceptably, but mostly when the teams were smaller and cheaper. He is an ideas guy you want to pair with an experienced implementer and a pile of money… And maybe a PR team 😆
