It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/ 737225137755

Alphagold3 @alphagold3.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I recently started a new job after 8 months of searching. However I spend most days worrying that I'll be let go because I only use LLM-based "AI" whenever I am explicitly told to use it and I haven't embraced it wholeheartedly. But it sucks. Sure it produces crap fast but it's just crap. 100

Alphagold3 @alphagold3.bsky.social · 18/09/2026So what you're saying is you've got a list of games that use AI that didn't disclose it that need to go on my "do not buy" list. But I'm guessing you can't share it publicly? 110

Alphagold3 @alphagold3.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I've seen a lot of game companies use Gen AI in their games without telling people, getting caught, then doing a game update and announcing they "removed all the GenAI". Honestly I can't trust them. If they used it for art it's highly likely they used it for code and that can't be removed. 020
