to pretend that generative ai's creation of code is different than its creation of art or music is to deny that the theft of human knowledge for corporate profit is unethical. i don't care that you don't think coding is an art, i care that you view your fellow man as disposable

it is pretty putrid to make a game ostensibly in support of the native peoples of your country and their land using the demon engine that's going to kill them all and destroy their land and hide that fact until after your game gets big and successful lol
Big Walk used AI in 'the final stretch' of development, kicking off intense awards debate: aftermath.site/big-walk-ai-i…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
House House used LLMs sparingly near the end of Big Walk's development, mainly to fix bugs in third-party code. They estimate well under 0.1% of the game's code was affected, and they didn't use generative AI elsewhere. bigwalk.game/faq/#ai pcgamer.com/games/puzzle/b…

10 lines of debugging that coulda been done by a human lol Btw the bug they couldn’t solve was cracked under 3hrs after the article was released And coming from a studio who’s alr made it clear they’re okay w lying why should i believe they only used it for 10 lines of code
Big Walk devs should've disclosed the AI usage but also I straight up can not bring myself to care about using it for like 10 lines of debugging

"It's just a tool" It's not. It's a service. One that AI CEOs are desperate to find an audience for after the massive backlash against gen ai art. It's consistent rhetoric also used by tech CEOs as they continue to eliminate jobs across all of tech. Code IS art.
Unpopular opinion time, but anybody that actually codes and works in a development industry, and actually read this article, would agree this doesn’t matter at all. Please stop punishing developers for using code assist tools… Punish them for generating music and art.

“Big Walk didn’t steal artists work so it’s ok” They’re feeding coders work into the plagiarism machine as well dude. Basing your view on LLMs solely from the view of twitter artists will put you on the wrong side of this at some point.

Very excited for Deadlock to get paid cosmetics and the inevitable enabling of sv_pure. Whole new generations gonna learn about how Valve will fuck you in order to get you into their community market bullshit.

So DC is fucked now right? I don’t think people are gonna give them a third chance to set up a justice league movie.
The DCU plan reportedly included introducing Batman in ‘THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD’ in 2028. James Gunn's ‘SUPERMAN’ sequels would’ve then evolved into a ‘JUSTICE LEAGUE’ film in 2029 - 2031. (Source: @benfritz)

It’s great that Zelda has voice acting now, but I think it’s one of those franchises that’d just be better with a different approach to its dub. OOT’s voice acting so far sounds more at home in something like the Pokemon anime.

I think something more akin to a theatrical stage production would be right at home. My easy answer is just an all-British cast akin to FFXIV or Metaphor but I think Nintendo see Zelda as an America 1st kinda deal.

Lmao my order from Target got canned the day of. Between this and Amazon’s handling of the controller, it turns out ordering the second it goes live doesn’t guarantee you anything

PC Gamers love to harp on about competition but then lose their collective minds over having to use a second launcher for something.
Quoting Gabe Newell’s “service problem” to justify pirating Switch 2 games is wild. Gabe was giving business advice to publishers, not handing out a moral pass because you don't want to buy a console. First-party exclusivity isn’t a broken service, and acting like you're owed games on PC is just pure platform entitlement. Folks are dumping Switch 2 ROMs on sites that do not want them. You are going to get these websites heavily reprimanded or completely shut down. If you just want to be scum and get free games, just say you're scum and own it. Stop dressing up console FOMO as some righteous anti-corporate crusade. It's not.

Call of Duty Matchmaking is really interesting because on top of some of the Win/Loss ratio stuff there's also some diabolical stuff designed to make one guy in the lobby feel good. The respawns will throw you in the path of some guy who needs the dopamine hit.

You really feel it when it's your turn to be the woodchipper. People just keep happening to spawn in front of you. You can literally get POTGs from killing the same two guys in succession as they spawn facing away from you

Terry only gets away with it because people can throw him into a different category that separates him from Bruce. He's recognised as "Batman Beyond" and not "Batman" outside the fiction.
Cap thing got me wondering. Has there ever been a superhero passing the mantle that was universally well received? Peter -> Ben & Miles as Spider-Man has been bumpy. Steve -> Sam as Cap too. I think Terry as Batman is the only one everyone liked. Idk why though.

Anthony log back on, you're missing out on Ethan Klein discourse
Tomorrow, I’ll be unplugged from my social media channels. I’m doing it for Mac Holdsworth. For every Australian child who’s encountered online harm. And for the parents who deserve a safer digital world for their kids.

I'm still putting my stocks into anything other than Dess Knight if the person in the code is Dess I don't think it works unless Chap. 6 explains how someone can be lost in the Darker than Dark (code) world but also able to run around Hometown freely

Chap 6 will have to pull a lot of weight setting up Dess as the Knight, because her wanting to end the world doesn't make sense unless the they're being possessed The Knight wanting to cause the Roaring to get to where Dess is makes sense as a motivation for Rudy and Noelle/Kris

The best case scenario is the story having the Knight be an entity. With no identity to solve. It's design and mannerisms pull from multiple different candidates (Dess, Kris, Papyrus, Flowery, Rudy) so it's just a deliberate red herring.
