Haven’t been getting much work done on Siren lately… Crimson Desert is to blame.

GitHub Copilot will soon use your data to train its model and share it with others Your GitHub Copilot usage could soon feed Microsoft's AI training, and if you miss the opt-out deadline, you're automatically opted in.

I was right to abandon GitHub.

Solo dev - I have one just because it’s a way to say “This project exists!” But admittedly, it’s probably not getting many eyes that didn’t start from Bluesky.

Just arrived! 🦀

Imagine robbing someone, then sending them a thank you note.

Games are art, and art should look like what the artist intended. I know that's hardly a hot take on DLSS5. But I'm glad to see so many others are in agreement on this.

I think it is important we keep reminding people that once you could search an internet by keywords, adding keywords to get more precise results. Those search results were not sponsored or optimised.

You could find things. So many things.

It was a wide open world.

The creator of ChatGPT is named "Altman," as in "alternative to human" and he leads OpenAI, which is completely closed. His main opponent is the company Anthropic, meaning "human-centered" is led by "Amodei," as in "loves gods". Then there's "Gemini," meaning "two-faced," from a cmpany that says it will do no evil. Brilliant work as always Kojima! [picture of kojima, watermark of @mediocre_mason on tiktok]

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Do it. 🙂

I know I bang this drum a lot. But nobody cares about software craftsmanship anymore. It's all about shipping as fast as possible now, regardless of quality. Everything is turning to garbage... and it's going to get so much worse.

Taking a break from coding this weekend.

A single toggle to turn off all AI functionality. This feature just brought me back to Firefox.

Ferris arrived. Maybe this is a sign that I’ve had too much #rustlang koolaid? 🦀

Aliens clean artwork by Denis Beauvais used for advertising the arcade game by Konami in Japan. It was used before for the cover of issue 1 published by Dark Horse Comics. Image depicts a xenomorph standing in a maintenance tunnel where several tubes can be seen all around, a blue warning light on the top right, and a broken pipe letting off some steam on the bottom left. An explosion can be seen further in the background.

That time James Franco went punk on Freaks and Geeks.

But to answer your questions, WinRar has a legit free option, so I don't think there's a moral issue there. (I did pay for it though 🙂) The other two are obviously moral issues. But they're not topics that I really pay much attention to.

To clarify: I have moral issues with generating code because I know that it's sourced illegitimately. They steal code the same way they steal art, music, written works, etc.

If I steal code that I'm not licensed to use at work, that's a fireable offense. So why is it ok to use an LLM that stole it?

That’s really getting into the weeds, and I don’t have a good answer. I guess people just have to follow their conscience when it comes to the gray areas.

But the models ARE built from code that violates licenses. That’s really the core of the issue for me.

I see takes like this sometimes. I think it's similar to the "autocomplete on steroids" argument. That's certainly not as egregious as "Hey AI, make this program for me."

I know I'm small potatoes, so I didn't expect a big response. But nothing?? Maybe people don't want to admit they now support plagiarism?

#ai #programming #coding #developers #software

AI coding enthusiasts, how do you feel about plagiarism, as a general concept? If you're against it, how do you reconcile that with your use of generative AI?

Genuine question; I'm not trying to start a debate. But I can't disconnect the two.

opening reactor bombing mission. teal is game start, elevator down into reactor, then escape into sector 8 on upper left (jump onto train)

sector 7, tifa's bar area on the left, pillar up top obvs, train station on right, bottom is the little park and the collapsed highway with the metal wreckage maze

train tunnel to sector 4 underneath via vents on left, then climbing to sector 5 reactor (upper right). the 6 screens of tunnel apparently comprise half the entire circle around the city!

yeah, this one confused people...

assembling FINAL FANTASY VII walkmeshes to see how they fit together (thanks @onetrickwolf.bsky.social for JSON dumps of the geometry). probably should've tried this before i drew the big Midgar map but still cool. maybe could use these as a basis for area detail maps. some comments in alt text

Staying in. ❄️
