Oh god they're giving it the FF7 remake treatment. I've no horse in this race cause I never looked at OoT and went "yeah let's remake that game, babehhhh" but for fucks sake is it too much to pick a style and stick with that consistently across the world/characters?

I will add pressure to this by saying that any company that claims to not hold onto your personal data after verifying you? They're lying. Ive been nitro free since the first time they tried this, voice how you feel with your wallet people. Make them really feel that squeeze.

I wrote an essay about why I'm done using AI for coding, even if it costs me my job and career: brettcodes.com/im-done-usin... The basic gist is: AI made me a worse, apathetic programmer. I think it's bad for humanity, the planet, and the craft of software engineering. And I'm done using it.

I'm done using AI

Why I'm stopping using AI for coding (and anything else) after using it earnestly for a year and coming to understand the harms it causes on personal, societal, and environmental levels.

while I was already planning on boycotting this game, this is important information for people who are still on the fence, and now upgrades this game to the category of 'I will explode you if you try to make me care about it, don't ever talk to me about this thing'

I just want to mention: Even if your AI somehow runs locally and you think it's okay, it's still using trained data from a pre-existing dataset which is still full of stolen work. The sheer amount of data gen AI needs is in the hundreds of thousands, you can only get that by scraping

The gen AIs that most are familiar with were built using stolen creative work, but there are plenty of more niche gen AIs that do not use stolen work.

Still confused by why people think a website is going to push against compliance with age assurance laws. It's not a website policy, it's a law, and it's fun to yell at the website, but you gotta to be yelling at your house of representatives members and senators instead

Red Dead Redemption 2. I can see where people like it. Hell. Even I like parts of the story and characters. I actually think this is a persisting issue I have with Rockstars games/storytelling. Just... No sense of where the open/free world ends and the gripping story begins.

No hate, no dogpiling, just curious. For me, it's Skyrim. Don't know why, considering it should be exactly my kind of game, but it just didn't click for me.
