:woot:

So much gaming these next few weeks... Gears of War 3, The Gunstringer, Fruit Ninja Kinect, Worms 2 DLC... man, I wish I didn't have to write a 50-page paper by October for a grad school class. :laugh:

Haha, so glad I finished all of my coursework last year :laugh: .

Reviews are looking good across the board. Only read through two of them in their entirety (Destructoid's review and Ars Technica's review). I don't want to risk running into spoilers for a game that I have had pre-ordered ever since the beta.

First 45mins. with IGN Commentary

There might/will be spoilers here. Even I avoided watching it. The suspense is killing me. 4 Days to go.

Need not mention there might/will be spoilers here.

wow nice reviews, is it coming out a couple of days early maybe? would be nice to have it for the weekend...

Some random no name shops broke the street date, however its very unlikely your local shop will (going by shops here anyway!). If you see no problem with downloading a game early you pre-ordered then its been out there for over a week now...

Just ordered Epic Edition, I was going to order the standard one but the Marcus's statue had me sold and it would look really cool sitting right next to my Halo Reach statue

I am hopefully getting the EE aswell. :D

1 Hour of Horde mode.

^unfortunately, Best Buys over here in Canada don't have Pre orders for limited/special editions but they have on standard copies. I have to line up early (since no Midnight Madness) to upgrade to EE that day.

240 MSP for a skin set (all 5 weapons) if it's not animated

320 MSP for an animated set

1200 MSP for a specific weapon collection (ie: all lancers, all hammerbursts, etc)

3600 MSP for the whole set (all 22 with some small discount)

I dunno.. Sooo freaking expensive. Not sure if want at all.

Yeah, those prices are a bit high. That being said, the rainbow skin looks awfully tempting, if only because it reminds me of that Penny-Arcade comic from a few years ago. I definitely won't be getting the full collection though. If my math is correct, I think that's roughly $51.40 CDN.

Indeed I will be doing the same, since I want a Limited Edition (not Epic). Hopefully they have a lot of them.

Did you Pre-order? You can get a Gears 3 Toque , 800 Rewardzone points and Mechanic Baird! Not to mention you might also get a Gears 3 T-Shirt if you're in line. Remember only 25LEs and 15EEs at each store.

I'm not buying the whole bundle. Maybe just one or 2 of the animated sets. Which are around $4 each that should come to $8 for 10 weapon skins, but 2 sets.

      This one baffles me...so they are creating a museum based around the Ship of Theseus? A museum is supposed to preserve things. It doesn't really work if the conversation goes, "I gazed upon Starry Night the other day, the colours were beautiful!" "Yeah...I didn't expect Godzilla to show up, though." Create a building devoted to displaying AI work, fine. The rainforest idea sounds interesting and I would consider visiting if they pay me a few bucks. But don't call it a museum...

      >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

      Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
