• What’s with Japanese game developers being so fucking obsessed with NFTs and AI and crypto and shit? Like with Miyamoto saying the developers would get mad if Wii Sports got bundled in with the Wii console, what’s up with their obsession with control of information and commodifying it more than western STEMlord types? Is it because it’s foreign and “exotic” to them? What about “distributed ledger + massive power usage” made Tezuya Mizugichi (or w/e the name of the Rez et al. guy is) openly say he wanted to create a crypto (music) game?

    I don’t get it.

    In interviews so far, COLOPL has stressed that the AI model they’re using has been trained only on art drawn by Kaneko during his time at the company. This was done in a supervised learning cycle that Kaneko has described as “more time-consuming than drawing art from scratch.”

    “i’ve drawn too many angels in bondage it is time to let the computer churn some out; wait shit drawing them from scratch was a lot easier??” wowee

    The real Atlus GOAT, Masayuki Doi, would never.
