There is only strength in numbers (as a defence, which is what you’re positing) if everyone is informed of the consequences of their actions. If they are not, they can blame you for misleading them.

People aren’t doubting the virtue of your intent but you are speaking very confidently incorrectly about legal matters which doesn’t help your overall appeal.

Failed?

I’ll have you know, some of us didn’t even try!

Since the 400s anyway.

What exactly do you think the EU is?

Yes, absolutely it is virtue signalling. You are taking an utterly meaningless stance for which the only upside for anyone is you think you maintain some kind of honour despite consuming “theft slop” unknowingly every day, even as you read this sentence, and the only downside for anyone is that you don’t get to experience a game that you otherwise would enjoy used to have, even if deliberately and knowingly, used to have some AI textures.

You’re the one who ignored what I said, which is why I’m essentially just having to repeat myself. If you take such hardline stance that any use at all is “theft slop”, you might as well go offline. It’s in the code that made the app you’re using. It’s in the code running your OS. It’s in music you listen to. It’s in the movies you watch.

Absolutely push back on theft - deliberate misrepresentation of someone’s work or style as orignal. Absolutely push back on slop. Just because it took a minute to generate something doesn’t mean you don’t then check it before productionising it. But taking this weird religious stance where something literally is tainted from previously having used AI, that is just for you. You’ve got about 30,000 days on this earth, man. Probably a good chunk of that is gone already. Spend a few hours of it playing an interesting, original game which does more to demonstrate the value of real creativity and originality than any little personal protest you indulge yourself in.

They removed the AI content less than a week after release. By unspecified I mean it wasn’t a deliberate “this is the AI section”.

The awards were given 4 days ago, 6 months after release (more?). So the judgement is not on the game as it stands or even as it was submitted.

The awards don’t matter, I’m just genuinely baffled by this person depriving themselves of joy because of some virtue signalling that relies entirely on just not being aware of AI being used everywhere else.

Following the publication of this article, Sandfall Interactive wishes to provide the following clarifications.

The studio states that it was in contact with El País on April 25 - three months prior to this publication. During these exchanges, Sandfall Interactive indicated that it had used a limited number of pre-existing assets, notably 3D assets sourced from the Unreal Engine Marketplace. None of these assets were created using artificial intelligence. Sandfall Interactive further clarifies that there are no generative Al-created assets in the game. When the first Al tools became available in 2022, some members of the team briefly experimented with them to generate temporary placeholder textures. Upon release, instances of a placeholder texture were removed within 5 days to be replaced with the correct textures that had always been intended for release, but were missed during the Quality Assurance process.

Because they used, and then removed, placeholder AO generated textures in some unspecified location?

I hate to break it to you buddy but for the last 2 years every piece of software you’ve used, including this one, has had the dev experiment with AI tools.

I appreciate your admission that there would be some bugs but the no comment cult took your input and made it the nominee voice to disagree with me. Anyway, here’s the incredible list of bugs this release caused, many of them install-breaking.

Particularly if they are releasing so many small changes. This is a nonsensical change log and really shows the difference in maturity between this and other projects. Releasing lots of small changes all in one release is a bad idea. This should have been a major version release or 3 patch releases.

Edit: I have angered the Jellyfiles

This is a game from the 90s my dude. Java was “The portable language”.

Because in theory you know what the server is running on, and can optimise for that with C++, while supporting the front end on multiple architectures using one codename with Java.

Right. But your examples are about a situation not changing. You know what news is right?

Or are you saying Bitcoin was never worth mining?

The headline is only ridiculous if you are inferring something else that isn’t in the headline. Otherwise it’s just… true?

Ah yes. Those Irish Islamists. Always demanding Sharia law.

This is just replacing one unsupported OS with another?

Trade it in.

In other words, someone may be willing to pay you for parts, rather than you just getting nothing for it (recycling).

They are not going to recommend you use an alternative OS, and probably not because they’re worried about market share, but because they then have some responsibility for every time a person fucks up a Linux install.

The only way to understand their comment is that they think it’s a ticket that they only printed as many as they have seats. Otherwise its a non sequitur as it doesn’t explain the purpose of printing a second slip that says you don’t have an assigned seat.

Read the full text. This, despite appearances, is not in itself a ticket.

You haven’t posted two interviews. You’ve posted two screenshots, and made vague contentions that they indicate some kind of conspiracy.

The first rule of this community is “Please only post links to actual news sources”. When are you going yo do this?

English could be my 10th language and I think I’d be more “transparent” than you still.

Why are you posting memes to a news community, again?

(Would you like me to write in Ukrainian if you read it better?)
