It's so funny that MapQuest was all but counted out on the mat after taking a beating from Google Maps and Apple Maps but they navigated (lol) this current fuckshit political climate like a fucking boss. Kudos to whomever decided they should position themselves as WokeMaps

What if you see ICE at the polls? (Don't worry! Read on for the plan!) @indivisible.org roped me in to design and illustrate a new zine! Check it out in this 🧵 - and visit linktr.ee/wewillvote to sign up for the Election Protection Program and find all the resources you need!
Page 1: text reads "WHAT IF YOU SEE ICE AT THE POLLS? (Don't worry! Read on for the plan!)"

Image shows pen and ink drawings of an ICE agent peeking around one side of the word ICE and a determined looking person holding up a cell phone as if to record peering around the other side.

This has been going around and it's obvious that it's vibecoded, but just so everyone is aware how egregious it is - it is not a native PC port. There is nothing native about it. Digging through the person's Github shows that it is RPCS3 with GGPO vibecoded into it then packaged together in an EXE.

GET BLUE SPHERES
An edit of the below image scaled down to 320 x 244 (SEGA Genesis native resolution) with a Blue Sphere and a Red Sphere from Sonic 3. Spunch Bop has to get 420 Blue Spheres and 666 Rings.

The text "GET BLUE SPHERES" is on the center of the image (taken from the original game).

AI is conscious AND it is my girlfriend AND it is my slave. A perfect scenario for me, a normal person. Not gonna think too deeply about this. Now do all other living human people deserve the level of investment devoted to my Tamogotchi slave girlfriend? Not so fast.

lmfao I'm pretty sure $56k could have just hired someone to decomp games for you full time and they would've done a better job and they might even gotten multiple games done too
screenshot of Twitter of a verified user posting: 
"pokemon heartgold is now fully decompiled 🥳

took about a month and ~$56k at api prices to decompile all 4.1mb of compiled code"

Kinda burying the lede here
Encounter wrote that the use of AI in the community has sped things up to the point where it has become overwhelming to track human-led projects, and people using AI have taken existing, human-led AI projects and have created “hostile forks” of them, where open-source code written by humans is taken and “finished” by AI: “These kinds of hostile forks put little to no effort into meaningfully contributing to existing projects, tearing apart our community fabric.” Encounter added, “anyone with an AI subscription can manage to create a port or static recompilation that functions at a basic level […] While community members put in the effort to decompile a game, opportunists have frequently raced to release a half-baked, barely-functional port from it.”

Geez I wonder what happened for them to go full blackout for- OH DEAR
The VERY first Steam review you'll see on the page, from JMMMHAMM

UNDISCLOSED AI USE - CA used AI to make the new unit cards, they look awful and characters have missing fingers.

Horrific graphical bug makes the vegetation in battle map terrible to look at. There's no way to disable the vegetation.

The campaign map is super oversaturated and hard to look at as well.

New pathfinding bugs. This game sucks. Don't buy it. If you don't have Shogun 2 just don't get it.Another Negative Steam Review, Screenshot 1/2

I wanted to give CA the benefit of the doubt. I was ready to praise them for not having pre-orders open, not offering pre-order bonuses, for the blood pack being included in the base game (as it should be). IF the game was good. I was hoping that they might want to make amends.

Guess they'll never learn.

I'm not gonna comment on performance, for me the game ran fine, what little I played anyway. The game didn't crash and I didn't encounter any bugs. What DOES grind my gears are two things - how the game looks and how AI generated/upscaled assets have been used without any clear disclosure.

Sure, yeah, ambient weather effects, sun rays and all that, looks nice, but shadows somehow look worse. The colors are out of whack and either too saturated or too washed out. Everything has this weird tint over it, like it's primed for HDR or something. You know what the most used screen type is? 1080p FHD LCD. Not 4k, not HDR OLEDs. Stop building video game visuals around gimmicky tech that most people can't even afford. But whatever.Another Negative Steam Review, Screenshot 2/2 

What's worse is that the game is using AI generated assets - unit cards (which can be confirmed in the in-game encyclopedia) and supposedly the new cinematics as well. Use of AI is not disclosed on the Steam store page. Not only am I refunding this, I am reporting the game to Steam as well. The fact that they did not even check the AI diarrhea before putting this out speaks volumes about the QA (but we already knew that it sucks, didn't we).

De-listing the original game is also such a scumbag move. If I were to get this for free as the owner of the original, I'd still ask for a refund.

Message for CA: Everyone knows you are on thin ice. Everyone knows SEGA is ready to give you the axe unless you start printing money. This is a minimum-effort cash grab to improve your bottom line. If you think that this insulting level of care will fly with either Medieval 3 or WH40k, think again. Get your act together or put the fries in the bag.

Edit: To clarify one thing - yes, the game was developed by MATABOO not CA, but CA signed off on this. They either saw this and went "this is fine," or they didn't see what a mess this game was and shipped it anyway. Malice or incompetence, both cases are bad.

PSA: The latest NVIDIA App update adds a Default-ON option that allows AI Agents to control the app... Might want to turn it off.. Even aside from being lame AI features, that feels like making security even worse by defaulting it ON.
Screenshot of the Nvidia app's "Settings > Features" section.
Showing the newly added "AI Agents and App Connections" section.
The option for "Allow Agents to control NVIDIA App" is enabled by default.
This happened in version 11.0.9.565

Today google turned on even more genAI features for businesses who pay for google suites, which means a lot more things to turn off. It automatically turned on reading all your email and docs for generative AI learning so that probably already happened. Turn it off in your admin panel here:
in admin.google.com the "gemini in workplace" tab is shown, and I have everything turned off, but there are fields for gemini basically reading anything you ever do with google.

Today is indigenous peoples day. It is crucial to remember and talk about how there is still an active genocide against the tribal nations that were here for eons before this country colonized their land. Broken treaties and needless cruelty STILL HAPPEN. Sacred sites are under attack right now.
