I’ve seen people saying that big walk’s devs were ultimately forced to use AI in the absence of decent unity documentation and, more importantly, a functional, searchable ecosystem of blogs, websites, etc. and like, yeah, but also that’s what AI companies want!

this makes individual acts of resistance all the more important. recognizing the need for alternatives and then building them is the only way out of this. if everyone just kind of rolls over and begrudgingly accepts an AI-pockmarked landscape, there won’t be anything else

this is why they’re so willing to let the wider internet fall into disrepair (or strike deals that effectively cannibalize it): when AI is the only game left in town—and everyone is reliant on it, instead of on other people—AI companies will have truly won

i know nobody expects the mtg novels to be good but i'm still amazed that "something the two of them shared in that great chemical mix - like Ral Zarek's lightning bolts - " is a phrase that someone wrote and everyone agreed it was good enough to publish
