Imagine you where in their shoes and you do value human life. What would you realistically do? Honest question, I’d like to think I’d do something different then them, but I can not think of a way that does not cut ties completely. I think the best I could do, is secretly support opposition behind the scenes, not sure how much of that is happening though.
I think for a lot of them, they don’t agree with most of his policies, but as CEO of such big companies you can not openly oppose him. They would lose a fortune, so instead they try to get the most out of it for their company.
Also, you gotta see it from their view. They are stuck with him now for 3 more years. In 3 years AI will keep getting bigger and may change a lot, loosing those 3 years because of trying to make a stand, might mean lossing your position on the table and your influence on its development completely.
All that said, I’m not saying it’s good that that’s what they are doing, but I can see some strategy in doing it like that
Because it’s difficult to fit to a world. You need a pretty good GPU of which a lot of the memory will be take up by the LLM running locally. That means you basically can not use it while also having other fancy graphics at the same time. So you would basically have a not so demanding looking game with high GPU requirements.
Also it’s quite difficult to steer the NPCs to be consistent. In my free time I’m working on a small project right now to have a game centered around llm NPCs, but it’s a lot of work to steer them to be consistent with the world you place them in. Because they always go with a “yes and” approach, so it’s easy to end up in a situation where they make up things that contradict the reality of the game.
