It turns almost half of Hunt: Showdown players haven’t even killed another player
It turns out that a pretty large portion of Hunt: Showdown players have actually even killed another player.
If you’ve ever played Hunt: Showdown you’ll know that other players aren’t necessarily your biggest threat at any given point in time. It’s a threatening world to exist in, and that doesn’t always work for every player. So much so that it turns out 40% of players haven’t even killed another player at all. As reported by PCGamer, who held a roundtable regarding first-person shooters at GDC, general manager for the Hunt franchise at Crytek David Fifield shared that statistic, noting that it’s a big issue for new players when facing veteran players.
“We have an achievement in Hunt called Debut,” Fifield said. “It’s ‘kill your first enemy Hunter’, 40% of our players never get it. We’re a PvP game where you come in, you do some things, and 40% of the people trying Hunt have never killed another player.” Due to the nature of Hunt: Showdown, which is PvPvE, there’s a chance many players won’t even encounter one another in a particular match. So it can be tricky for some when they come up against someone who’s been playing the game for a while.

GPT-4 Will Hunt For Trends In Medical Records Thanks To Microsoft and Epic
In Monday’s announcement, Microsoft mentions two specific ways Epic will use its Azure OpenAI Service, which provides API access to OpenAI’s large language models (LLMs), such as GPT-3 and GPT-4. In layperson’s terms, it means that companies can hire Microsoft to provide generative AI services for them using Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform. The first use of GPT-4 comes in the form of allowing doctors and health care workers to automatically draft message responses to patients. The press release quotes Chero Goswami, chief information officer at UW Health in Wisconsin, as saying, “Integrating generative AI into some of our daily workflows will increase productivity for many of our providers, allowing them to focus on the clinical duties that truly require their attention.” The second use will bring natural language queries and “data analysis” to SlicerDicer, which is Epic’s data-exploration tool that allows searches across large numbers of patients to identify trends that could be useful for making new discoveries or for financial reasons. According to Microsoft, that will help “clinical leaders explore data in a conversational and intuitive way.” Imagine talking to a chatbot similar to ChatGPT and asking it questions about trends in patient medical records, and you might get the picture. Dr. Margaret Mitchell, chief ethics scientist at Hugging Face, is concerned about GPT-4’s ability to make up information that isn’t represented in its data set. Another concern is the potential bias in GPT-4 that might discriminate against certain patients based on gender, race, age, or other factors.
“Combined with the well-known problem of automation bias, where even experts will believe things that are incorrect if they’re generated automatically by a system, this work will foreseeably generate false information,” says Mitchell. “In the clinical setting, this can mean the difference between life and death.”
