Clippy is My Copilot - DTNS 4646 Extended (Patreon)

We go over all the big announcements from this year’s Microsoft Ignite event. Plus a study in the Psychological Science Monday explores how convincing generated images were especially ones of white individuals. And a study in Science showed that an AI meteorology model from Google DeepMind called GraphCasts made better forecasts using traditional models.

It's an Honor Just to Be Nominated - GDI 4646 starts at 31:59

Scott has thoughts on the Game Awards nominations. Do you care about awards? Are there too many games that came out in 2023? If you could only have 2 games to be nominated, which one would you pick? So many honors. Do you think video games are an art form? Are we all just customers? Are there too many awards shows? Sarah and Scott have some movie discussions. Can something or someone win too much? Who would you cast in a playable video game? Sarah wants her 3 hours back.

Starring Tom Merritt, Sarah Lane, Scott Johnson, Roger Chang, Joe.
