Yeah this couldn’t be more of a bad opinion that doesn’t reflect what is actually happening if it tried. The entire world is racing to create an AI nightmare, and because game theory safety isn’t even happening and some people imagine themselves ushering in the next age of evolution only to find we’ll be turned into paperclips and the intelligence they gave birth to is so misaligned as to follow us perfectly of the cliff holding us in their hand.
Yet I see them everywhere
Strange. Does this affect the flavor?
I can’t make sense of your reply. I’ve never seen the word lawfare. I am unable to determine what point you were making here.
Honestly I do like a lot of human directed but AI generated content, like Gossip Goblin, The Patchwork City, Pale Lodge.
I do think that AI will ultimately be an existential threat to all life though, additionally AI in Capitalist societies is a nightmare of labor displacement and wealth inequality.
That said, if we weren’t in Market Economies, with safety regulations and extreme caution, and without absolutely insane people with cults of personality at the helm, I believe humans and AI could coexist in an amazing way.
That’s just not reality though. Still doesn’t stop me from enjoying AI created content.
Recently I’ve been playing a lot of Sega Saturn games. The vast majority of which are literally 30 years old.
The hardware works. Needs no accounts. The disks work. The system doesn’t need to pair a disk drive.
I can play the games.
Something people ignore, is when a game is pulled from sale on a digital store, what happens when it has no physical release?
Are you just supposed to say oh well, guess I missed it? Guess I’ll never experience it and that’s…a fair idea to people?
Why should games be accepted to be so ephemeral? What if it released before you heard of it? Before you were even born? We don’t tolerate other forms of media being so anchored in time.
I watched Jupiter’s Darling, released in 1955 last week. Why don’t we expect games to be playable, archived and preserved this same way?
The mentality people have is wrong. Videogames are disposable to so many people - buy, consume, forget.
Why shouldn’t future generations get to experience them when they are purchased? Why can’t we have a system in place to guarantee perpetual access?
This is why I support piracy, because the system itself is so broken, so skewed to the publisher that the consumer is expected to, and often does accept the idea that it’s not meant to be perpetually accessible.
You hit the head on the nose
There are still code in a box games, I have one
Depends on if you’re Chinese abroad because they do try to exert pressure and have what are almost police in other countries
