  • Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage

  • I do agree with you. But unfortunately making games is as much a business, as it is making art. Some things just aren't that important to spend man hours on. Before AI, those textures would be just stock assets from stock art websites, hence the example.

    Cat's out of the bag right now. And it will only get worse, unless generative AI use is made outright illegal. Which I doubt due to moneyed interests.

  • As much as I hate to admit it, non-flagrant AI use will likely become generally accepted. The truth is that there's a lot of content in games these days that sometimes just isn't that important to dedicate man hours to it (Ex: Generic brick texture #431). The fact that this slipped through the cracks is proof enough.

    However, overly slacking to the point the end point looks obviously AI generated with just bad art. It's pretty much akin to just delegating to some shady third party studio that works for pennies and spits out generic, low quality stuff.

    Ethics and copyright, are of course, different questions entirely. (In my opinion most AI providers are committing blatant copyright infringement by using machines that crunch down copyrighted data and resell it back to you). But it seems like Silicon Valley's marketing and public relations team managed to figure out the copyright one at this point. <>/

    Edit: 3 AM, and tired.

  • I'll be honest, I used this store three months ago, and the most polite compliment I can provide is that it "technically works". It's extremely barebones in its current state. IE the bare minimum for a functional app store is the install button, and that does function. But that's pretty much all the thing it has, at least from a user point of view.

    I mean, it's a shame that its future is in question, but you know... Spilled milk and all.

  • No. One vehemently disagrees. The instance was built around far-left authoritarianism, while praising "communist" leaders as gods. Those who do not see the mistakes of the past, are doomed to repeat it.

    One may have their personal gripes with Hexbear, but at least one doesn't think their world wraps around being purely Western contrarians.

  • Windows 11 users reportedly losing data due to Microsoft's forcedWindows 11 users reportedly losing data due to Microsoft's forced BitLocker encryption

    Jump

  • I'm of the opinion that encryption based security should be compartmentalized. IE, an encrypted folder, or "safe" app. Safes in housing are already a concept that is already commonly known so it would be natural to extend a safe into the digital realm. This would also help in the idea that safes are locked with a key, so if the user loses their keys, whatever is inside the safe, might as well be lost.

    Now if EVERYTHING is a safe, (always on encryption). People will never known the difference. Its a dangerous type of security that is likely to be more a loss than a benefit.

  • Mozilla's New AI Detector Add-On for Firefox

    Jump

  • I like the idea of a general AI detection approach. Problem is that it's very easy to get false positives depending on the writer's personal style. Accusing garbage of being garbage does nothing, but falsely accusing an individual of using AI when none is used will just lead to harmful witch hunt behavior.

    Also, putting your trust in a flawed tool like this, which might miss actual AI written speech (or human bullshit speech) will just give a false sense of security.

    Be careful out there fine folks. The unscrupulous used to lie using just humans, now they also use robots to do it.

    Please look for FOSS alternatives instead.

  • Concerns Raised Over Bitwarden Moving Further Away From Open-Source

    Jump

  • I'm not thoroughly aware of their dealings, but these amounts of private investment aren't going to pay for themselves. If you raise 100 million, investors typically want a billion back, or more.

    From the looks of it, Bitwarden might've tried to go with the Open Source model to get free development resources, trust (because it's an open source PASSWORD manager), and general goodwill. But now that they've deemed that got enough of a market share (or investors are starting to breathe down their necks), it's time to start raising the walled garden.

    Even if they claim after the fact that it was a "Bug" that the client couldn't be built without their proprietary sdk. The very fact one exists is a bad enough sign, specially when its influence is spreading.

    VC is a devil's bargain. Raising VC money is NEVER a good sign.
