Quest 64 Official @quest64official.bsky.social · 17h

It's not enough for weirdo mail carriers who like Quest 64 to say "I'm not playing games with GenAI in them" *Streamers need to stop playing them & mods made with AI *Review outlets need to stop giving them coverage and accepting codes and PUBLICLY SAY WHY *Modders need to stop using the AI tools

The picture says rate my setup
And it's Brian in goldeneye N64 with some other stuff

the point of decomping (especially as a community project) is reconstructing code that's easy to understand. ai could never be good at this due to the same shit as always. it produces text that has no intent or meaning. just stuff that "seems likely" while happening to correlate to the binary

they actually tend to be worse than existing machine translation! the amount of randomness they add just leads to wildly incorrect results sometimes

deep learning is just a heuristic and that's still "coding by heuristic" aka vibe coding

...but those products have already existed. they usually just take the form of simply outputting "percentage chance the code contains a bug" and not trying to do this dumb thing of generating slop text to also describe it in english

it turns out they are also stupid for bug checking for the same reasons in that the chatbot does not understand words and it just statistically guessing random words that might relate to the actual data. like yes, an ML model that scans for bugs is not a completely terrible idea...

An explanation on why Big Walk isn't available on Xbox. bigwalk.game/xbox

Regarding Xbox

In June 2026 we announced that the release of Big Walk would be limited to computers, Switch 2 and PS5. Since then, we have received many messages and comments, asking about a future Xbox release. We would like to address those questions here:

We have made the decision not to release Big Walk on Xbox, in accordance with the Palestinian-led BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement’s call to boycott Microsoft, and their designation of Microsoft Games (and Xbox) as a priority boycott target. If you need help understanding our motives, we would recommend reading about why Microsoft is a BDS priority target, the successes this kind of pressure has already had on Microsoft, and especially, watching this great introductory piece by People Make Games.

It has always been our intention for Big Walk to be played by groups of friends, and we know that keeping the game off Xbox runs counter to those intentions. This decision means that some people will miss out on playing Big Walk with their friends, and we understand the disappointment we’re causing. We are disappointed too.

We would love for people to be able to play the game on Xbox, but not until Microsoft and/or Xbox have been removed as BDS boycott targets.

We’ve made this decision with the belief that meaningful change can be made in the world, that coordinated collective action can confront even the most powerful interests, and that one day, Palestine will be free.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,
House House

yeah it's infuriating to see this throw it all away at the end by saying "and we now know it can help tremendously when used correctly" like what. what do you mean. you just spent all this time explaining how no one uses it correctly. he then blatantly admits that "correct usage" is entirely vibes

“We can’t stop AI! We can’t stop progress!” My dudes, ladies, and genderqueer buddies: we have stopped using a lot of things. Especially shitty things that harm us. Remember how station wagons had backwards facing seats until they realized that’s begging for injuries in an accident?

so in many cases they are literally just outright taking pre-existing sotware products and making them worse and more expensive!

also worth pointing out, a lot of the fancy stuff these chatbots are doing now is either because they deliberately trained it on the output of other software, or because they manually coded it to run another algorithm sometimes. i.e. for requests like "please convert this document to a pdf" etc

kayla, belated reptilian 🏳️‍⚧️🐊 @kaylagator.bsky.social · 15/10/2026

like literally everyone who makes the "but it's useful!!" argument to me cannot explain how the thing actually works and where the training data is coming from. even people highly experienced in AI/ML just handwave it away like it doesn't matter because they are enamored with the chatbot

kayla, belated reptilian 🏳️‍⚧️🐊 @kaylagator.bsky.social · 15/10/2026

i will go a step further and say any "usefulness" argument actually *requires* this level of selfishness to ignore that they are really throwing several kittens and puppies straight into the torment nexus every time the machine does something

yeah i've seen plenty of these comments and i consider that basically unrelated to the issue of genAI. people on the internet say gross ableist things, that's not new. (especially on twitter no doubt) of course, it's still rude to post AI slop on the TL no matter who/where you are!

kayla, belated reptilian 🏳️‍⚧️🐊 @kaylagator.bsky.social · 14/10/2026

it's not a separate debate. please stop allowing these horrible companies to hide behind disabled people as a shield. you know what actually is ableist? people telling me i just have to accept the costs of AI despite the enormous harm it is already doing to me

kayla, belated reptilian 🏳️‍⚧️🐊 @kaylagator.bsky.social · 14/10/2026

speaking as a disabled person: it is actually extremely bad for disabled people to depend on genAI, for literally all the same reasons as always. the plain existence of these tools causes disproportionate harm to all other disabled people! that's not a valid tradeoff!

also, at what point have we ever stopped complaining at microsoft/google/amazon/etc for doing extremely terrible things while monopolizing all our computing infrastructure? like yeah we know we can't avoid them, that makes it *even worse* that they are doing this stuff in addition to everything else

kayla, belated reptilian 🏳️‍⚧️🐊 @kaylagator.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

yeah, i've seen that used mostly for cases where otherwise int8 or int16 would have been used as intermediate values. a reasonable improvement but not like ML where you *have* to use lower resolution floats for everything because otherwise the memory/bandwidth usage would be enormous

kayla, belated reptilian 🏳️‍⚧️🐊 @kaylagator.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

i'm just not aware of any games that could actually use 16-bit floats in any capacity for anything besides DLSS or some other AI postprocessing thing, it's pretty much all FP32/FP64

kayla, belated reptilian 🏳️‍⚧️🐊 @kaylagator.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

yes, afaik the datacenter GPUs typically have significantly more tensor (FP16) cores in favor of less cuda (FP32) cores which makes them unsuitable for running non-ML software

you're way overcomplicating this. the LLM companies themselves have admitted they can't afford to pay for all the data they stole. simply making them pay for it would put them out of business

000 0

kayla, belated reptilian 🏳️‍⚧️🐊 @kaylagator.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

that's not the claim i'm making. i'm saying when people say "wow you have to admit the LLM sure is useful at generating text" people rightly see that as bullshit because no one wants to read LLM generated text. well i'm a programmer and i don't want to read or run LLM generated code

000 0

kayla, belated reptilian 🏳️‍⚧️🐊 @kaylagator.bsky.social · 13/10/2026

speaking as a programmer: yes, do that! you should actually avoid most software and i've been saying this for many years at this point. tons of software is in fact very bad, user-hostile and/or filled with bugs and dark patterns, this is just the latest round in irresponsible management

kayla, belated reptilian 🏳️‍⚧️🐊 @kaylagator.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

no, that is in fact exactly what is being said. it is absurd how people can see this plainly in all other fields but give into this special pleading when it comes to coding for no reason at all

kayla, belated reptilian 🏳️‍⚧️🐊 @kaylagator.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

the post is getting skewered because it's absolutey pointless to say "it's verifiable that a guy who doesn't know how to code but wastes tons of energy stealing stuff from everyone else sometimes produces working code" yeah ok but like, you just handwaved away the most important part of the story
