  As the Industrial Revolution began, workers naturally worried about being displaced by increasingly efficient machines. But the Luddites themselves “were totally fine with machines,” says Kevin Binfield, editor of the 2004 collection Writings of the Luddites. They confined their attacks to manufacturers who used machines in what they called “a fraudulent and deceitful manner” to get around standard labor practices. “They just wanted machines that made high-quality goods,” says Binfield, “and they wanted these machines to be run by workers who had gone through an apprenticeship and got paid decent wages. Those were their only concerns.”

    Me and the boys being worried for our jobs as automation stretches onwards and just wanting some level of guarantee that good paying jobs will still be available 😭

  Ah, the always welcome “and so what?” comment.

    Don’t forget the obligatory smug response from somebody who feels they have moral superiority.

  It wouldn’t be lemmy if we weren’t always in a moral size measuring contest.

  Like I’m not the biggest fan of gen ai but a generic computer screen feels like a good use case for filler text.

  Showing that even a small non-issue use of AI will be detected is a pretty strong incentive for other games to disclose that willingly. Otherwise, why would they admit to it if no one can tell? Morals??? 😂😂😂

    Why should they “admit” to it when NeoLuddites with pitchforks and no internal logic lurk around every corner?

      A substantial part of the market not wanting AI in their products is actually a great reason for them to disclose when it is or isn’t used

  Gamers who get mad having to wait for company logos to show while games boot: They have to disclose every piece of software they use to make every game! I want my games 100% hand crafted and bespoke. I want to sense the life people spent meticulously crafting mudsplat_texture_1 - mudsplat_texture_500. Also no crunch (and no bugs, obviously)

    Nice strawman Dorothy

      It’s just reality. Selecting a bunch of textures nobody has seen before through AI but hand crafting the rest of the game would force them to wear the scarlet letters on their front, and open them up to brigading. That move by steam to appease the pitchfork masses is pretty heavy handed.

        even if I accept your premise of a “brainwashed NeoLuddite mob,” you’re still wrong on the simple principle of arguing against a company properly labeling what their product is or how it was made.

  Thank you. At least some people on this abomination of an antisocial media still seem to use their brain.
