“Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: […] like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.” —Jonathan Swift

  • “The truth is, we spent a long time trying to tell this game’s story with cutscenes made entirely by our own hands,” the statement goes on. “The results were devastating every time. We came to believe we could not properly deliver this game’s complex, difficult narrative that way, and that is why we turned to AI. But if that choice hurt your experience, the fault is not in the tool. It is in our own shortcomings.”

    Man, if this is true – that they agonized over the cutscenes but decided they couldn’t and that AI would be better* – then I feel legitimately bad for them.

    I went in assuming it was strictly a lazy “ah, fuck it” kind of thing, but even though this still wouldn’t be acceptable, it seems like this team really is hard-working, cared about the final product, and actually did think AI could deliver a good experience. Deluded, but that seems like part of a larger culture of delusion in SK.*

    * Notably, the article remarks on how sentiment around AI in South Korea is vastly more positive than e.g. the US.



  • You’re making up ad hoc nonsense out of thin air. Literally nothing you’re saying is true, and you can’t will it into existence just because it’s what you want to be true or because it sounds plausible to you. You’ve cited absolutely nothing to substantiate your point, and the onus is on you because you’re the one saying it’s against the law.

    Incidentally, you haven’t even mentioned a state; you’re just saying this is true in all two-party consent states, which is fucking wild and shows you have not the faintest idea what you’re talking about.

    See, I considered that, but whereas he wouldn’t have known about it while helping Leia escape, the Rebellion probably would’ve gotten word by the time Luke is flying the mission to destroy the Death Star. And that’s probably a pretty big deal at the base.

    It’s never confirmed, of course, but I imagine information travels fast within the Rebellion if they were able to steal the Death Star plans. (Edit: Especially given Bail Organa is still alive when the Senate is dissolved.)

    At the point he’s actually in the Rebellion, he probably at least already knows that the Galactic Empire is done pretending it’s a democracy.




  • the license Lutris had is invalid.

    That part isn’t true whatsoever. Public domain doesn’t work like a poison pill. If I put the collected works of Arthur Conan Doyle on my website, that doesn’t mean the site can’t be CC BY-SA 4.0; it means someone is free to take that specific part without worrying about CC BY-SA 4.0.

    Even for the slop code where it’s more mixed in, it’s on the person trying to take it to affirmatively show the part they’re taking was generated by an LLM, i.e. you can’t just say “this is slop, I’m taking this” and expect a project to have to affirmatively defend that it’s human-written.

    And lastly, AI assistance doesn’t automatically even poison the code being created/changed with it. This one is murky, but so far, the general consensus is that so long as you, the human, worked on it – i.e. that you didn’t just let the slop machine run wild and take whatever it outputted without your own changes – it’s still your copyright.

  • > “I REFUSE to speak their gibberish”

    > Calling other people “indulging in the childish marketing of corporations” (a corporation which I imagine you’d have to eat at a decent bit to be this pissed over it; couldn’t say having eaten there like once when I was 7).

    > Strawmanning those calling you out by insisting they’re doing the thing you profess not to with no evidence. (They might just ask for the fruit pancakes or whatever and not say the name but not make a big deal out of it.)

    > Putting up a giant “OBEY” sign because other people think you’re acting like a clown.

    No soapboxing here, nosiree.


  • Fun for them is probably being around someone who doesn’t get up on a soapbox to profess their refusal to say the menu names at a shitty breakfast food chain like they’re making some kind of outraged, principled stand.


    Edit: Just want to point out the irony in eating at IHOP enough to have such a strong opinion on the menu names and then unironically calling other people obedient to corporations like IHOP because they think you’re acting obnoxious.
