Video games also use classical AI rather than genAI— pathfinding (including A*), state machines, constraint solvers (including WFC), utility systems, behavior trees, blackboards, tree search (minimax, alpha/beta), heuristic functions, planning (GOAP and others), cooperative & adversarial approaches…
A reminder that the 70+ year-old research discipline of AI is much bigger than genAI, much bigger than just deep learning, much bigger than Big Tech. AI includes symbolic reasoning, multi-agent systems and statistical machine learning and is used for astrophysics, renewable energy and climate models

There seems to be this subjective notion of "Peak Internet", at least among my generation of people.. Where do you place it?
I'd say no later than 2015..

Katsudo Shashin or The Matsumoto fragment is the first anime ever. Jokes aside, this is the oldest known animation originating from Japan. It was found in a collection of films and projectors in Kyoto in 2005. Dating from between 1907 and 1912, the images are stencilled directly on the film.

A few thumbnail sketches for Uprising. Exploring mood for some of the story illustrations in the game. The finished ones will look more like pixel art - but it’s always a lot more fun starting out with just a pencil.
