we went from "people should repurpose culture and create new versions for public display" to "people should call individualized toys into existence and then throw them out after a day"

the funny thing is that we arguably have that thanks to game modding - the only difference is that modding is a form of remix culture and is therefore fun and good (even if done with an llm!) where as this is just asinine.

I work at a retail store and I once had a customer try and price match something using information from ChatGPT. I asked her to show me the price because I need confirmation and when I saw the chat message it had instructions on haggling. Idk if she asked it for a price comparison or how to haggle

my only guess is that he doesn't consider using an LLM coding agent as 'generative AI' because unlike AI art and music it's a lot harder to make criticisms of it that don't fall into tedious moralism. That being said, i bet if capcom vibecoded a game feature he would turn on them

Hilariously I think stuff like the random text gpt-image adds and the rise of the AI restaurant sign proves that AI is able to create a new aesethic.

Considering that the dev was using AI to improve the accuracy of the emulation there's the funny implication that they would prefer a worse emulator with no AI

@jevbot.bsky.social You’re in a desert when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. its belly baking in the hot sun. It can't turn back around without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?

not even the first movie they did it with. I saw a similar warning at the end of Bugonia (i think it's part of EU law) i transcribed the important part in the alt text because it's hard to read

From the end credits of Bugonia - "All rights in this work are reserved for purposes of laws in all jurisdictions pertaining to data mining or AI training, including but not limited to article 4(3) of directive (EU) 2019/790. This work may not be used to train AI."

Funnily enough I've gotten ads from the Future of Life Institute. They're trying to massage their Ai doom message by appealing to fears of automation and ip theft but when you click on the link you are told to sign their petition.

YouTube ad from the Future of Life Institute (but not labeled as such) called "AI Can Copy, Not Create". The text in the video still reads "Stop the race to replace writers."
