To the dude crying out in pain while hitting himself in the face with a hammer, repeatedly...

You know, you could maybe... stop hitting yourself in the face with a hammer? Maybe? Please?

The video would be considered "doxing". It is, unfortunately, family "dirty laundry." Any video we can manage to record, screen shots of posts, audio recorded, witness testimony, and so on, is more useful in the divorce settlement/ child custody proceedings.

inverse.com/mind-body/narcissi is directly relevant, and it's scary both up front and personal as well as from a country away involving loved ones.

So perhaps it could be, "Go ahead and hit yourself in the face all you want, just NOT IN FRONT OF THE DAMNED CHILDREN!"

@peterweyand I'm sure it is drama you wouldn't care about. But someone hitting themselves in the face with a hammer and then crying about it *would* be pretty dramatic, would it not?

We have graphics cards for doing graphics. I picture some kind of AI card able to do what you describe based "useful seed" factory installed, but able to store data over time based on games played (or pulled in from game seed) so specially tuned processors would develop NPC AI. It would be a card for having NPCs "learn and remember" taking that weight off the CPU.

I'm not clear if such an idea is actually useful or practical, but in a sandbox game NPCs that would learn, hold grudges, or develop friendship behavior from machine learning would be an interesting development in game design if it could be retained efficiently and *NOT* tie up the CPU.

I think of the hardware CPU as an unoptimized bottleneck. It's the issue that drove graphics to being on specially tuned cards that ALSO make them more suited to the math that makes them useful for crypto mining as seen in the following video by Viva La Dirt League:

AI is "expensive," and a "General CPU" isn't necessarily tuned to AI connections from data-sets cached in relevant memory handily accessible. I *really* don't know the particulars, but I would hazard a guess that these are issues similar to the push for a Graphics "CPU card." I just don't know if the cost would produce the obvious benefits that would push people into buying something like that. Graphics are pretty obvious. AI in a game would be far too subtle. :(
