the article claims many accounts, naming a couple (True Story Now, with 50K followers, and Nostalgia Narrative, with 175K followers), and that these videos get millions of views. it's rolling stone so it was definitely significant enough to warrant them covering it. it also looks like they were able to get True Story Now banned after reaching out to TikTok

Fair point about it being Rolling Stone. Glad they were able to get at least one big account banned, because this is still pretty gross.

The way for AI media content to succeed is not through the advancement of the technology, whatever that might mean, but to ensure that the artists who could speak up against them either get pushed out or die from poverty, and to make the general population culturally illiterate enough to be fooled into thinking the garbage that comes out has any value. The techbros are working really hard on those latter two points too so it's only a matter of time

After reading the details I feel slightly better that it was just random stand-in AI children rather than any kind of actual attempt to recreate the victims accurately, but only slightly.

They did get the account banned though, so that’s a plus.

No way, Simcity 3000 was just a face lift with some quality of life improvements of Simcity 2000, it was a really good game. Now Simcity 2013, that one was really bad.

Outside of 1 or 2 severe issues, 2013 had a really good game trying to get out, and it's still the best-looking SimCity outside of sometimes a zoomed-out SC4. But no, you've left others out. For example:

Well then you intentionally made a bad list. :mad:

Edit: In any case, Sim City Classic is actually one of the worst SC games, don't @ me.

If EA wants to rehabilitate the Sim City 'brand' all they need to do is remaster SC4.

Spinnortality is a good weird little management game where you are enacting the cyberpunk dystopia.

That was 4, you could put your Sims in your city and they'd let you know how they were getting on and how they didn't like living by a bus stop because of all those youths who hang around there

the thing I remember the most about Simcity 3000, was actually the early original build of the game that never came out; it was originally an all 3D game, but this was scrapped because at the time that just simply wasnt possible to pull off. The computer hardware wasn't there. Many years later we have Cities Skylines, and even that struggles on the most powerful of computers.

Simcity 64DD was 3D, but it was rough and had a lot of technical / performance problems.

Anno is not a SimCity game because it is an Anno game. You are perhaps confused about genres vs franchises?

in agreement, cities skylines went too hard into traffic management and it sucked. that said you should check out Anno 1800 if you want this. Its exactly what both of us want.
