Sorry guys you can’t solve Erdos problems until the gamers get their treats again

I think I can solve this mystery - here’s the culprit:
** points at map of China **
Lenovo please wire me $5000 in Bitcoin

The man responsible for those godawful analogue pocket trigger buttons casting aspersions on someone else’s buttons is pretty rich

Interest rates are too low raise them immediately

@Damo I’m not sure if you’ve noticed but it’s tacky as ***** to shoehorn your own hobby horse into everything

I checked and it looks like this had AI in it. I can tell from some of the pixels and from having seen quite a few slops in my day!

Junko Furuta would have loved this

Can’t help but notice the different editorial treatment between a dev using an ai and another dev using ai here. Is he one of your blue sky buddies Damien?

Uh they used AI somewhere

Awwww did some game journalists lose access to their treats?

@Spoonbender can I sample music or is that stealing art

@damo “So you've really taken the "Yet you participate in society" route here? Hilarious.“

You’re right, that’s the route Robyn should have taken after you participated in sending a harassment mob after him, rather than make any attempt to change his behavior. There are, in fact, hosting solutions that don’t involve big tech or handing money to accelerationist AI bros at CloudFlare

@Damo hshop is alive and uses cloudflare still

@Damo incidentally, so is timeextension - cloudflare uses AI extensively for their own products. Will hookshot consider a more ethical CDN ?
“And again, sharing a ROM online is not the same as ingesting that ROM (along with millions a of others)”
Huh I wonder where they got so many ROMs from at once - that’s wild

@Damo lmfao it’s all hosted on cloudflare, thanks for pumping my bags

@Peteykins because he’s the only one here posting with vocabulary and sentence fluency above a 5th grade level, which, in these circles, is a telltale sign of AI

@Damo okay so copyright infringement is fine, just so long as you don’t charge money for it.
those tech companies you hate make good money off “content preservation” - who do you think is selling the infrastructure to host stuff like myrient? It’s not some guy running a BBS out of his home office

Remember folks: pulling a copy of a book once to use in a training set is theft; uploading the entirety of the 3DS commercial library to Myrient is preservation. Know the difference!

@Damo “ This is before we even touch upon the environmental issues related to AI, and the drive to build massive, harmful data centres near people's homes.”
Oh is this site hosted in one of the nonharmful data centers? Is there a test we can do?

@Damo no they’re simply preserving those copyrighted works for the future.
“ There's no 'enrichment' or 'enpowerment' of society here; people cost money, take sick days, go on holiday, have benefits and rights... these are all things that most CEOs would happily do without if they could (and they already are).”
Pretty sure freeing up labor to other ***** that’s actually valuable and not replaceable with a chatbot is pretty enriching to society

I checked and they used AI

@Thad yes a bad recompilation will get people killed, only trained experts should attempt it

@Bot_Bot_69 “wouldn't presume vibe coded projects are "doing something good", it's quite likely some of these projects will put genuine developers off working on a proper port.” We don’t need proper ports, as explained in a previous part of the thread, so you don’t need to worry about that

SMH at this disgusting gatekeeping, the author is part of a marginalized community that was systematically discouraged and disenfranchised from being able to pursue a traditional programming education. I can tell you with 100% certainty that banning AI would disproportionately affect PoC coders

@Tasuki Iwata died of a broken heart when he realized he had missed out on the chance to publish Grabbed by the Ghoulies

Does hookshot media have a genAI use policy for the site itself?

Can we get a note for games developed by Annapurna Interactive?

@Deuteros I can see the article in my mind: “The Unbearable Whiteness of Golf Games”

@81632bit “There are bigger, and more important things in the world that any one persons "personal joy". But I don't think you quite understand that, do you?”
So true, we need to close the bathhouses during this public health crisis- oh sorry you were talking about something else

@AllieKitsune that’s the site where the staff has repeatedly been busted for sexual misconduct, right? Can we talk about how inappropriate it is to keep legitimizing them?

@Sketcz >As a freelance contributor I have never once been instructed to adopt a specific stance, nor censored

Why would they bother with that with a freelance contributor? They just will drop pitches they don’t like

@miwehi7104 no their slave labor is fine, read more Chomsky

@Dr_Fresh sorry but I was told it was “waging culture war” to notice political agendas in games,

@rshmglsky so true - do they understand that they’re doing an Orientalism right now?

It owns that you were able to drive traffic to your friend Frank’s blue sky feed even though he is not a party to any of this in any meaningful capacity. Teamwork makes the dream work!

Yeah but it won’t make us read words like “cheugy” so it’s already an improvement

Remember folks, when you gank someone’s copywrited software, you’re doing a heckin’ awesome games perseveration, but if you use someone’s writing to train a model then that’s very unethical and wrong. Know the difference!

“ creating diseases for the low-income communities the datacenters are being built in”
This literally isn’t happening t

AI was used to generate code for multiple parts of this very website btw

Does it make fun of the cheap labor they import or is it just a safe-edgy attempt at satire?

It’s weird you guys aren’t covering the bitmap books controversy, are you scared or something
