Dude, this is genuinely so fucking disappointing. Nearly all of the commits I’ve seen for PPSSPP involve generative AI from Claude in the past week alone, and their entire newest dev blog is almost entirely written by Claude. Almost half of the commits in the past 3 months use Claude for AI code.

We’ve gotta stop inflating the value and importance of YouTube creators to the extent that them doing something wrong has ANY feelings about your own identity and attachment. Gaming essays are never that deep. The person doesn’t care about you at all. Their work should not be formative.

I think people see *themselves* as a victim when they are in a parasocial relationship with someone who winds up being an abuser. So then “victim-centering” involves centering themselves. But that should be done in private, or in therapy, not on public access and seemingly in defense of the abuser.

Decided to test this for myself and Pangram told me with "high confidence"(!!!!) that sentences of a fic I wrote in literally 2018 were AI-generated

A pangram screenshot. The actual text is: To Victoria’s surprise, Alex is the first to voice his support. “Fuck it. Let’s do it,” he shrugs, standing up and striding over to the front door. Victoria raises a skeptical brow at him, but swiftly turns her gaze to the rest of the group, awaiting their responses.
“If it’s going to… for lack of a better term, eat us, no matter what… then it might be easier, psychologically speaking, to speed up the inevitable,” PupDOS agrees; and then suddenly, she smiles. Not polite, not humouring, but genuine, almost… relieved. Sazley sees the smile, and barely conceals a frown, but no one else seems to take notice. “I’m in,” PupDOS says, and she is surer than she’s been about anything of late.
Sazley is quick to follow, breaking out into an awkward grin to suppress her nerves. “I, uh, I guess this is our best shot,” she says.
Sabrina and Rebecca exchange worried glances, neither one completely confident about this plan. Both of them sit for a second, just processing the possible pros and cons of going along with Victoria’s idea. Finally, Sabrina reaches her hand over until it is resting overtop of Rebecca’s, and she leans over and whispers something in her girlfriend’s ear. Rebecca smiles a little, and then she nods.

18% of it is highlighted as AI by pangram with "high confidence": Only two spans are highlighted as AI: the end of the Sazley paragraph, "I, uh, I guess this is our best shot," she says, and the first two sentences of the next paragraph: "Sabrina and Rebecca exchange worried glances, neither one completely confident about this plan. Both of them sit for a second, just processing the possible pros and cons of going along with Victoria's idea."

This is really the core of the issue with the Geller stuff from an audience perspective, ignoring the fact that by his own admission he raped someone. Don't even dare talk about rehabilitation in terms of an audience when the only reason he had one is by his conscious effort to hide his skeletons.

Maybe the weirdest thing about Nintendo is that it's selling the cheapest and least powerful hardware (which won't play GTA 6) and yet it's the face of financial and creative stability.

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Story time. [TW allusions to SA] This is not to make anything *about me*, but rather to showcase the impact abusers can have with relation to proximity and public platforms. I’ve been on YouTube since 2006. My abuser helped make art for my videos in ~2010-2011. I was regularly SA’d in 2011.

Rape culture is so prevalent that there are dudes in the comments of Lost in Cult’s IG post about severing ties with Geller stating that his OWN ADMISSION OF GUILT does not make it true. Sexual assault is SO “extremely serious” that even a man confessing he did it is not enough to establish guilt.

Apparently VGE hid the comment I left under his video. Here it is for anyone who wants to see it, as it seems to clearly bother him that someone wants to hold him even slightly responsible for the major damage he's been doing and continues to do this scene.

Not putting any sort of disclosure in the thumbnail or the description that this isn't from the actual team that made the tooling (which this uses and is the only reason it works) and the existing Banjo port is a new low for this channel.

This port is NOT associated with us. It is entirely AI-generated. Both Zelda: Recompiled and Banjo: Recompiled have very clear No AI stances. We have not, do not and will not use AI to ever work on these projects.

Your irresponsible reporting is exactly the sort of behavior I've told you about that completely hurts the scene and the entire reason why people keep pumping out these projects just so they get their 10 minutes of fame in your videos.
