I also love physical media but I have no use for video game packaging if the game files are not contained on a cartridge or disk inside it.

Take care of yourself mate. Streaming/YouTube is so much fun when things are going well, but when they are not it can be so mentally and physically taxing. Content creation, just like pretty much like any self run business is much harder to manage then putting in a 40 hour work week and relaxing.

ÅÏ cannot make art. It can mearly copy what humans have done before, it can never innovate.

I absolutely hate whenever the shipping cost is just as much or more then the price of the thing I want to buy, like wtf. There are options from USA that aren't like that, why aren't those options available everywhere?

It also came off as using the moment to farm attention over the AI fear mongering with shinydex.

Firstly I just want to say quickly I'm sorry your local government is corrupt. Secondly very little if any AI training data for programming is stolen in the same way it has been done for artistic works. The one person who run the site using ai to shortcut internal tools is really not the issue.

That's a lot of speculation. I'd recommend confirming your information first before posting something like this.

I think it's pretty interesting how you've convinced yourself that this conversation had anything to do with you or you had anything meaningful to contribute in the first place. Get the fuck out of my hobby space you loser incel.

Sure if that's your opinion but to me I find it severely unethical with it's foundation being created from stealing protects works I also like drawing and writing music and recording videos myself there is something deeply fulfilling about the creative process. Something you clearly don't get.

Time to put in my 2 cents. Using Claude Code for help with programming is not anywhere remotely as harmful as AI generated video, music, art or literature. There is very little if any stolen content in the coding and software development training data for AI unlike creative mediums.

I don't know if people realised but shinydex is not Ben's main job, it's a fun side project he has built for the good of the community. Ben does not run shinydex to profit off shiny hunters, he does it because he loves the community and the hobby. 5/5
030
kuma @actualkuma.dev · 13/07/2026
Anyways shinydex is a one man project which is obscenely complicated and involves so many parts and Ben should be congratulated for the work he has done and not shunned for creating the service he has created for the shiny hunting community because there has been some use of Claude Code. 4/5

But I can for sure say that the 99.99% for this purpose was either from people willingly training the AI or from open source origins where the software is free to use and modify and open to everyone. 3/5

Artificial intelligence has been created by computer programmers who then have used their skills and knowledge to train the AI. I cannot say for sure that nothing was stolen because I do not work for any of those companies. 2/5

kuma @actualkuma.dev · 13/07/2026
I've been seeing some shinydex drama that's kinda been annoying me. GenAI usage with programming is not on the same level as it is for generating, music, art or stories. Because it was not foundationally created on stolen content in the same way it is for those mediums. 1/5

We got one for pokemon scarlet and violet. But i think those were always planned to be on switch 2

People will complain about anything and everything if the new games aren't exactly like their perfect ideal of a Pokemon game. A lot of these people are yet to realise they are no longer the target audience for the video games. Every Pokemon is someone's favourite.

Finding out the other day that AI data centres don't actually pay for the electricity they use and the power companies instead pass that cost onto households has radicalised me.

I'm sure both will become available in a few months at most

I think the restricted list of pokemon available make it a really interesting metagame currently, but that mostly on the VGC side of things. Idk what singles is like since I don't watch anything about that or play it.

Gotta step up your game. I'm already at 3 soon to be 4.

Content creation, whether it's streaming or making videos for any platform is supposed to be enjoyable. If you're in it for the money that mindset is so stupid. If you want quick cash start a drop shipping business or something. There's so many better ways of getting money.

Which none of the big tech ai companies fit under and is basically just stuff trained by enthusiasts.

Purge every AI that makes use of any and all stolen intellectual property. (Ones that don't and have permission for the stuff they train on and use are fine I guess)

I will note that you can enjoy the game without interacting much with the sandbox aspects and instead just following the story and uncovering the lore. It is expensive though ans I buy everything pokemon, so if you don't trust the words of a Pokemon shill 🤷. But I think you would enjoy the game.

Idk if anyone else does this but before I go to a new cafe or restaurant I always check the lowest google reviews just to get entertainment of reading the owner clapbacks at lying customer 1 star reviews. Like "bitch you're embellishing things, here's what actually happened you entitled ass"

I would recommend learning at least the basics of music theory. Things like key, time signatures and chord structures. Knowing that stuff will be incredibly helpful. You don't need to study that much either. Just a couple of YouTube videos and you'll be good.
