For the past week or so, the engaged gaming community has been treated to a parade of fear mongering horror stories in reference to the PlayStation Network. Reports of hundreds of dollars missing from people’s accounts with evidence that amounts to anecdotal. Analyst predicting billions in losses for Sony. I say hog wash, and the only thing that is astounding is how easily people fall for these web traffic tactics.
"AI is not a substitute for human creativity. We position it as a technology that supports creativity. Creativity resides in people. We will continue to contribute to people's creativity through technology," the CEO said.
...not yet but 100% within the next 10 years!
..Then Sony will use it like the drop of a hat. They're no different to the others.
People that aren't software developers just don't understand the benefits of AI. People who's only exposure to A.I is the Terminator movie and other related sci fi films won't understand the benefits it provides.
It's not about replacing human labor. It's about making human labor easier.
Many years ago, I had laser eye surgery done. It was performed by a robot. The doctor took my measurements and calibrated the machine to make sure it would do what needed be done. And then the robot corrected my vision in 10 seconds.
15 years later and I still have 20/20 vision.
A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.
I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.
I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons
I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.
Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.
At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath
I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.
Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.
cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
You came too late really. The storm here died this morning but I am still amazed the a non doom and gloom has appeared unlike the fanboy dribble we have seen
Once all this is over with here in a week or so (I'm guessing there, btw), everyone will forget all about this and enjoy the vast variety of exclusives that the PS3 offers. In the end, we'll have a more secure network as well as the best exclusives in the industry. Sony won't let this debacle get them down. They "get knocked down, but they get up again. You're never gonna keep 'em down." haha (great song. Chumbawamba-I Get Knocked Down)
Doom & gloom, web traffic tactics, whatever you want to call it doesn't change the fact that something that should've never happened indeed did. People got pissed & rightfully so.
If you didn't have your CC info on the PSN then it didn't affect you too much.
What do you want people to do bury thier heads in the sand & pretend it didn't happen?
The PSN system down so its doomed articles were hilarious.
The wii was doomed when it was a gimmick. Went on to dominate first place.
The 360 was doomed when the RROD emerged. It went on to nab second place and stay competetive with sony.
The PS3 was doomed when it failed to snag first place in a year...it went on to rebound nicely, just about to nab second place.
The point? Doom articles are everywhere, the doom itself is nowhere.
