Show me where that is bought? Where's the deal for that?

Bloodborne was co-developed with Sony.

> Sony Computer Entertainment approached FromSoftware concerning cooperative development on a title, and director Hidetaka Miyazaki asked about the possibility of developing a game for eighth-generation consoles. The concept of Bloodborne developed from there. There were no connections to FromSoftware's previous titles, even though Miyazaki conceded that it "carries the DNA of Demon's Souls and its very specific level design".[44] Development ran parallel to that of Dark Souls II.[45]

Hell, Demon Souls actually has Sony development members listed as co-producer for that game.

Bloodborne is entirely funded by Sony, since its conception.

> there's console exclusives like FF7

There is nothing permanent about that exclusive, it can absolutely come to Xbox later on. The thing is, Sony didn't buy out Square-Enix. Square-Enix made a business decision to join a temporary exclusivity agreement.

There could be a "complete edition" that features all parts of the game, combined, and that would be a completely separate product sku, and sold across all platforms in the future. (After all, that's what happened with Metal Gear Solid HD collection).

> Before you say "they don't own the IP" that's not a argument...

Yes it is the argument, because you are not placing any of your fanboyish anger at the proper people responsible for it.

Square-Enix, and Konami.

Nobody is "forcing" them. Nobody has bought them out to force them.

You are listing games that still have a major presence to the Japanese market. Whether you like it or not, Sony has deeper relationships with these companies in Japan, especially with these titles that have a long history of being successful in Japan. On Playstation.

They probably crunched the numbers and decided that being promoted by Sony worldwide will generate them more money, especially in Japan, than NOT being promoted by Sony and whatever additional sales they generate from selling on the Xbox platform.

The most damning thing about your complaints of Square-Enix is this: They released Final Fantasy 15 multiplatform, on both Playstation and Xbox, day and date. And they never did it again.

You know why. https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/5gltlp/79_of_uk_final_fantasy_xv_sales_were_on_ps4_21/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Stop getting mad at Sony because of this.

"What "exclusives" did they buy? And are they PERMANENTLY bought?"

Are you serious? Like guy please find how your denial and support for a massive company is worrying.

resident evil 7 vr and bloodborne at the top of my head and there's console exclusives like FF7 and probably 16, and the upcoming silent hill 2 to name a few. Before you say "they don't own the IP" that's not a argument...

It is not deterministic, it picks randomly, with the distribution skewed towards more probable words. That is what makes them so good - the difference between deterministic and stochastic AI doing this is the difference between GPT and predictive text on your phone. The predictive text always picks the most probable word leading to run on and repetitive sentences GPt has the ability to pick a less likely word which allows it to write much more varied and niche things.

It being stochastic is also the reason you can have it regenerate responses.

I agree but that's because Facebook paid for the lobbying to make tiktok look like the boogeyman. Just because they couldn't compete with tiktok.

Whether or not its really a security issue is up for debate so far as I am concerned. Considering the existence of data brokers. That any country can just buy data from which contains the same stuff that come from apps.
