The final art will still be based on the AI (read: stolen) art.

You’re making assumptions both of the developers’ workflow, and of their AI models.

Because it’s not a big deal, and IGA are technopuritans who can no longer be taken seriously.

anyone could read the code and understand how it works

“Anyone” is doing some heavy lifting here.

Pretty sure the correct answer is 67.

How does this stop AI scrapers?

Which is why we have serifs, so you can tell the difference between I and l.

Oh I imagine there’s a lot of PDF files involved.

Welcome to Lemmy, where everything is wrongthink.

Search engines haven’t worked reliably for several years now, the top results for almost any search are from social media pages that you can’t even read without an account. The Internet is broken.

Only if I’ve already beaten the game legitimately before, and usually only to skip something that’s tedious.

Your activity is actually harming the fediverse by forcing us to come up with innovative ways to throttle new users.

Why do you need to throttle users who are posting relevant content?

“Ad blockers prevented your review submission.”

No, you prevented the review submission, by taking the time out of your day to write a dialogue box that prevents submissions.

It’s basically an infinite money glitch! All Google has to do is make sure not to have the project run by the guy who botched the Xbox 360 launch and it’ll be unstoppable!

It’s a ton of fun. Honestly, I suggest you play it the way I did as a kid, and bring out a bunch of paper and pencils and start drawing your own maps by hand. There’s something magical about that process, imo.

Yeah, at best it’s “A framework for Red Alert 2 in web browser”.

How does one even accidentally steal a texture someone else made?

One could easily apply Hanlon’s Razor to this. For example:

• Bob is a game artist. Bob has a folder on his desktop called “Inspirations”, where he saves art pieces he finds online that he likes, and a folder called “Assets” where he saves things he’s created for the game. Bob transfers to a new department in the studio, or quits, or is fired; either way, he returns his equipment to the IT office.
• Dave is an IT guy at the studio. Dave takes Bob’s computer after he leaves the job, and transfers all of Bob’s files to the studio’s shared drive. Dave isn’t an art guy, and doesn’t know the difference between “Inspirations” and “Assets”, and dumps them all into the shared drive in a folder called “Bob’s Things”.
• John is the studio’s new artist, replacing Bob. John syncs “Bob’s Things” to his computer. John assumes everything in this folder has already been cleared for use by Legal. John starts implementing the art into the game.

I used to be a pretty hardcore Destiny 2 player for several years. In that time, I’ve seen Bungie fuck up a lot of things. But those fuck-ups were almost entirely caused by somebody in the studio not playing close-enough attention to something, and details getting mixed up in the pipeline. I don’t think anybody at Bungie knowingly put Antireal’s art into the game. I think the more likely explanation is that there was a lack of oversight, and files that shouldn’t have been mixed together, got mixed together.

It wouldn’t even be the first time Bungie had something like this happen; there was an instance where a third-party studio that Bungie contracted to build a Destiny 2 cut-scene accidentally used artwork that was not intended to be in the actual cut-scene.

Not to suggest that any of this excuses Bungie for multiple cases of plagiarism. Obviously, they need to have stricter standards in place when transferring files between parties. It’s a colossal fuck-up, but I don’t think that it was a fuck-up anybody set out to commit.

We had mostly 8s, but somehow a few 4s got added in. Here I am now, 30-ish years later, and my roommate has 4s in her kitchen, too.

Holy shit it just gets better and better.

I’ve got bad news for you; those may have been sharts.

“Having” is not the same as “owning”.
