And just like that
G*mers are back to hating AI
That’s a pretty significant part of the value and utility of AI…I bet stealing ppls ideas and getting to market first is still totally fine though, right?
Boycott Anthropic.
They’re training their models on my art. It’s only fair I get to use their technology in return.
The best part of paying for a coding assistant is discovering halfway through your project that it has developed opinions about what your project is allowed to be. Imagine your IDE refusing to compile because it thinks your game feels a little too much like Tetris. At least a compiler doesn’t pretend it’s doing you a favor.
I think that’s what they wanted from the very beginning, to accelerate projects that are socially convenient for them, but not those that are not.
There’s that issue with universal machines that some people don’t like that others are allowed to make universal decisions.
My coworker recently had an experience where he was trying to fix a security hole and his AI wouldn’t do it because it claimed that it was unsafe.
i know we’ve had our fun putting middle fingers up towards Adobe and the like, but these kinds of restrictions are needed to protect developers who aren’t insanely wealthy.
from the article, which i’m sure you all read:
And yet there are situations that merit some discussion, like the recent controversy about the Steam Next Fest being chock-full of AI slop copied from existing titles. That particular situation is getting particularly nasty, as game developers are reportedly being extorted under threat that their game demos will be cloned into complete games before they have a chance to finish and release the original.
Adding insult to injury, this is seemingly being done to small studios whose main priority is usually “having food,” rather than big publishers looking to microtransaction everything into a new yacht for shareholders.
now try to do the same and tell your boss you won’t do something because you don’t wanna
“Why have you done nothing for the past week?”
“Sorry boss, the AI refuses to do my work for me”
This is what happens when you rely on the products of giant corporations.
AI (restrictions) truly were inevitable.
Well that was an impressive speed run to enshitifcation. What kind of sensorship is queued up next?
So you can only use AI for things it’s been approved to do… Meaning that basically nothing new can be discovered by AI, as that could be considered dangerous.
So then what again exactly is the fucking point other than stealing IP from people that can’t afford a team of high priced lawyers?
The funniest one I encountered was - it wouldn’t work on any nixos based development environments in its cloud runners and would flag them as bad use lol
Good. These half-assed decomps are killing the indie game scene with ““devs”” ripping-off unreleased games using ai to try and beat them to the market
They are really making an increasingly strong case for local open weight models, run either on local infrastructure or rented data centre infrastructure. How long until they are going to try making those local models illegal?
Hopefully this puts a stop to all those people copying popular steam games. They are killing the indie game scene with their fucking slop.
I totally agree with you. But this is a speed bump in the long term. 😔
