Anyone can go through the code. And maybe find things, if they’re not too subtle and not successfully obfuscated. But not everyone will.

I feel like a malicious actor could hit a big pay day with a popular thing like Bloodborne, before people found the malice. There’s plenty of malware posing as game cracks out there, and it’s only easier to do that with AI tooling.

But aside from that, AI code can have confidentially incorrect code that has unwanted consequences.

Code review is difficult.

First time: blasphemous blade. Took hours. Used mimic tear. Barely got it.

Second time: antspur rapier, finger print shield. Done in 5 minutes. Poke poke poke rot swish poke poke poison poke win.

I don’t believe so, but I imagine people are working on that.

Along the same lines as the other guy said.

It’s difficult to verify that the software does the desired thing in all cases. It’s also difficult to verify that it’s not also a keylogger or other unwanted thing.

It may also have some AI generated code path that, say, nukes your home directory because the AI determined that was the appropriate error handling. Maybe no one reviewed it so they don’t even know it’s there. It might not even be malicious.

That’s all true of any software, but rapidly created AI generated code for legally dubious efforts, by unknown agents (no pun intended) is real hecking risky.

Sure but if it works it works right?

Verifying that software does the intended task and only the intended task is not trivial.

there is no environment or time where an approach would be appreciated

Doesn’t really follow from

women want to be left alone and be independent

There’s a lot of spaces between “don’t hit on the waitress” and “chat with friends of friends at a birthday party”

Of course, you do have to enter the world to be perceived by the world.

There’s already emulators that run fine. This seems extremely sketchy.

There’s a lot of idiots out there desperate for validation they don’t deserve.

A friend of mine’s dad lives in a nice suburb of DC. He heard on the “news” that “there was a drug deal” in the city, so he went and bought a gun “to protect his daughter”. He didn’t take any classes on gun safety, and I would be surprised if he stored it safely.

This is the level many people operate at. Emotional flailing.

It’s like the “only democrats have agency” thing. We as a society don’t seem to hold republicans to any sort of standard. They’re like a fire that burns or a plague that spreads. You can’t expect a fire to be polite.

Except they’re not an elemental force of nature. They’re people. People with names and addresses and free will. They should be held accountable.

When will rich people learn do with less?

We’ve got billionaires and mega millionaires stinking up the place like dragons sitting on their hoards. Seems like there are some easy fixes that don’t involve turnips.

Microsoft is unbothered by all of this because the Xbox project was always an effort to PC-ify the console market. They just assumed they’d own PC gaming. Aside from that little hiccup, it’s gone swimmingly.

Side note, but it always baffled me why Microsoft went into consoles. They owned windows, where everyone was playing PC games on. They could’ve made something like Steam, if you ignore that large companies like Microsoft seem incapable of delivering good products. Don’t even both with the hardware expenses.

I don’t know how other men are but generally when I see someone (of any genre) there’s like an automatic evaluation - not in words or conscious - that flags like “are they a threat? Are they hot?” and a bunch of other stuff. It’s just part of the “what am I looking at?” reflex in the brain.

But I don’t, like, linger on it. Don’t play out in my head what sex would be like, or how to defend myself if they pulled a knife, or whatever.

To make a computer metaphor, some attributes are eagerly loaded and others lazily. I think attractiveness is eagerly loaded.

Also I’m comfortable enough not to feel threatened by finding people attractive.

I had a friend that, when talking about this, seemed like their brain didn’t eagerly load the same things. They didn’t “know” if someone was hot until they thought about it, and were confused how that information was just there for me.

I read about that. I can only assume there’s some soulless goons in the middle who gets a bonus from some poorly thought about metric, and they’re going to chase that even if everyone else suffers.

If Sony just sold PC ports, people would be happier and Sony would be making money.

The board’s rejection leaned on common NIMBY tropes — that is, that the “scale, height, density, and massing” of the 11-story project is not “compatible” with the surrounding neighborhood and would “fundamentally alter Bay Ridge’s established character and built environment.”

The board also cited “difficult parking conditions” in the neighborhood in its rejection.

Boo hoo. Things change. People need housing.

Most people don’t need a car.

I feel like there’s a PhD thesis waiting to be written that links the unearned privilege of being a man and the comparable lack of effort that goes into driving versus biking.

It’s not bad but it’s not as good as its inspirations- sekiro is much more satisfying.

Can we gut the billionaires instead?

What’s the monetization plan? I don’t do subscriptions but would consider a buy-once or old fashioned “buy expansions every year or so”
