![A screenshot of a link to a Guardian article. Below an image of the proposed godawful arch, the visible text reads:
The desecration of DC: from a giant arch to a nuke-proof bunker, Trump’s legacy-building blingfest is an architectural atrocity
A bloated ballroom, a six-storey military HQ, a helipad-cum-cocktail [note: this is punctuated with hyphens, not en dashes] patio, a gilded angel on a giant arch honoring himself … our architecture critic deplores the decorator-in-…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:q2wgdszfwhq2hix7uumhuxc7/bafkreice6a3fkovkh26yv2jwsqxuzkl2cww4kucfz6wp23qtkbuxmzpaae)
![In response to my message to Outlier saying that I was deleting my account because they openly admitted to using "AI" and then mealy-mouth rationalized it when called to account, I received this:
Greetings! I respect your point of view, and I'm publicly upfront about using AI. I'm not hiding anything. Almost all are not. It's your choice to decide which games you want to support and which you don't. All software today is using AI to code. Every business is forced to use it. Programmers are using AI to code, they don't hand code anymore. It would be impossible to compete, and the cost of programming by hand too high and too slow. I would not be feasible economically and no amount of support from players would cover that. This is a hobby of mine not a business, I do it for love of tha [sic] game and for bringing joy to people across the world. People still want to hate on it, and that's fine. If you boycott this game that's fine, but you are only kidding yourself - everything you use today is using AI whether anyone likes it or not. No hard feelings. Have a wonderful day!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:v4723avs2z2wpwweptepsgxc/bafkreibiriv7b7mzawlhdod6p3g6haw7huhti6bkeiiryfgew5j77fnfha)
