The momentum that General Brown sparked with his call to accelerate change continues to grow, and there's hope yet for this massive bureaucratic machine of ours to get onto a path that will allow us to retain our competitive edge. Seeing this new call to arms, I hope that such experiences will become more a thing of the past not only for us but for many other innovators as all echelons of leadership embrace this much-needed change. Now to see if the budget plans under discussion manifest so we can move beyond passing the hat with one hand while our other is tied behind our back. Similarly, the vision statement to "Develop Airmen with the Competencies to Win the High-end Competition" aligns with our competency-based approach that focuses on traits and skills which studies have revealed to be critical for our language professionals to perform at their best.Īs for the lines of effort, we're hitting on about as many as we can without building a tool for pilots! From accessions through transforming tech training and throughout their careers, Mage Duel's design addresses the users' learning needs with SOTA Human Language Technology and game-based learning in a novel and appealing way, and in a way that transcends the previous barriers between classrooms, dorms, and operations and creates meaningful structured data for talent management.Īnd, we have so much more envisioned, so it's wonderful to see such fertile ground being prepared by AETC and the 2AF leadership, so we can watch this sapling of a project grow. In line with this mission to "Find, Recruit, Train, and Educate the Airmen the Nation Needs," #MageDuel is being developed with the long-term commercialization plan in place to find promising language professional candidates throughout the nation, and to help those who would like to with the opportunity to pursue a career using their nascent language skills and to grow those skills in a meaningful way. So, it's not surprising that much of what we've already been doing throughout Mage Duel's early stages of development aligns with this message. Rather than the antipathy we used to receive at the start of this journey, General Robinson was very encouraging, having already recognized the benefits which gamification offers the wider AETC audience. This message shared by Lt General Robinson is all the more encouraging after having had a chance to meet and present Mage Duel (a video game, of all things) to him in person this week at #iitsec2022. OpenAI releases Point-E, which is like DALL-E but for 3D modeling | Engadget There are plenty of other things to be wary of down this road, but in this arena at least I have some hope that we will put our new toy to good use. More encouragingly, I see great opportunities for education in game-based and VR solutions which procedurally and dynamically create in-game/simulation assets for scenario and task-based learning. On the horizon, I see 3D deepfakes creeping into volumetrically-analyzed video, further poisoning the already-muddied media climate. This will mean fewer focus on infringing on creators’ rights, but as the ability to rapidly create increasingly-realistic 3D imagery develops I see all sorts of fun and tragedy to come. There is no lead poisoning in Dwarf Fortress yet, so there's no reason not to keep your food supply in lead barrels or to trade lead goblets to elves (and enjoy imagining that you're slowly poisoning them).Point-E has arrived, and I suspect it will have similar results to what we’ve seen since Dall-E became available, with one difference being the difference between the many cases of a physical source for the images which Dall-E was using/replicating and the already-digital counterpart in Point-E’s case. Another way to make use of lead which does not use fuel is training your metal crafters by making them stud stuff with it. Making lay pewter from it isn't a good option, since you can gain more value by making trifle pewter, fine pewter, or bronze from the bars of copper and tin and leaving the lead as-is.īars of Lead might be most useful as constructed bars or grates - all material has the same strength, lead as effective as steel (except for armor and weapons). It can be useful for items of furniture, in cases where value and weight aren't relevant, or on maps where wood is scarce (but magma for a Magma smelter is available). Lead can only be smelted from galena and can be used to make all furniture and craft goods, or made into lay pewter.ĭue to its low material value, lead is hardly useful for making crafts.
