Calling all single-player mappers of SEN: The annual celebration of mapping is back!
It's the 6th Annual Maporino!, the yearly single-player map showcasing event! Last year, Jayborino showcased a whopping 57 maps (15 of them Starcraft maps)! Use Maporino! as an opportunity to make a map and submit it to be showcased!
Check out the video description for more info about rules and how participation works! Maporino! is organized through the Jayborino Discord. Please refer to the server rules when joining.
I would love to take part. I have an old map idea that I could dust off and hopefully not get so overambitious about that completing it within a 2-month window is possible.

The singleplayer thing is weird, especially for a streamer. You would think multiplayer games would be a good excuse to engage more directly with your viewership.
Jay's primarily showcasing single-player campaigns or games on his Youtube channel, so it's not really out of character... Also consider, organizing lobbies for multiplayer games would be a nightmare if submission numbers reach 50 or so - it already took a few weeks to play through single-player submission last year, iirc.
Ultraviolet shouted: I always thought it was kind of messed up to impersonate someone without their permission, but I guess that's artistic license for you. When you get into the realm of using AI to do it.. it seems even worse to me, but I'm not sure why

Zoan -- and tbh no, this is exactly the type of thing ai should be used for. Now if you were monetizing it, I would say you should emohasize you used ai for the voicelines
Oh_Man -- but if i want to make a LOTR map and use AI generation to give aragorn etc more voice lines am I now suddenly crossing a line? wen did we get so snowflakey

Oh_Man -- well we been doing dodgy stuff in SC for ages playing resident evil and helms deep maps - we dont own the rights to them
NudeRaider shouted: Ultraviolet absolutely. You can count me among those folks. But I understand it. It's a silly name only kids find funny. However to know that and still own it that would be the manliest move in my eyes.
Yeah, I can appreciate that perspective. I've used so many handles over the years, I think I had less attachment to NerdyTerdy than some of the folks here. Just never changed my name much here cause it was expensive I still kind of like the NT name, but definitely prefer Ultraviolet. I think UV has been my handle for around half my life at this point O.o

NudeRaider -- So the question is will we as a society become resilient against these forms of attacks? Either by detecting or accepting? Find new ways to deal with it? I guess we will have to wait and see.
da real donwano shouted: Society is not ready for the AI power we're being given. I'll die on that hill.
"social media" is imo a much better example for "society was not ready for it". We haven't seen yet where AI will lead us. It has a lot of potential for good, but then again, so had social media. For now the only potential for abuse in AI that I see is in forgery of various kinds.
Oh_Man shouted: guys what are your thoughts on AI voice cloning vs someone doing impressions. why is one moral and the other immoral? or do you think both are fair game
For me it's the intent that make the difference, not the method. If you copy someone for profit or harm, then that's immoral. If your goal is satire then all bets are off. I think people are just afraid to be deceived because AI removes skill from the equation and painting AI usage as immoral is their weak attempt to defend against it.
But I understand it. It's a silly name only kids find funny. However to know that and still own it that would be the manliest move in my eyes.
I still kind of like the NT name, but definitely prefer Ultraviolet. I think UV has been my handle for around half my life at this point O.o
