I dunno… AAA games are not selling very well right now, and many are diving into the indie scene for better quality.

They could have hired some model to pretend to be a soldier, no problem. This was easier and cheaper, though.

Be careful what you wish for: Reddit admins turned VOAT into a right-wing cesspool overnight by banning a few repungent subreddits. They all jumped ship for VOAT, and polluted the community. Of course, this was probably all planned to get rid of an upstart competitor.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 1 week ago:
Or maybe even every session?
Fuck that… every frame.
Although, that was the experience with Stable Diffusion a few years ago. WAN Video is good enough for remembering the face during the course of the processed length (4-5 seconds or so). But, as soon as it needs any sort of object permanence, like when the face is hidden, suddenly, it doesn’t know what it was looking at any more. Seems like a solvable problem with reference images. I doubt NVIDIA thought that far, though.
- Comment on ‘Age Verification’ could force trans people to out themselves to use the internet 1 week ago:
Stop fucking call it “age” verification. It’s identity collection.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 1 week ago:
I didn’t just ask the ai to do something I new which library I wanted it to use and new what I wanted it to interface with and new exactly what I wanted it to do.
I have no understanding of the language
No shit… you don’t even have an understanding of the English language. No wonder the LLM didn’t understand you.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 1 week ago:
Use local models then.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 1 week ago:
It’s not as much of a “fuck you” as much as “I’m tired of this same fucking response, when all I’m trying to do is get some work done, which I do for fucking free, by the way”.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 1 week ago:
If you let the AI do the thinking for you, then you’re building AI slop.
No, for major projects, you start out with a plan. I may spend upwards of 2-3 hours just drafting a plan with the LLM, figuring out options, asking questions when it’s an area I don’t have top-familiarity with, crafting what the modules are going to look like. It’s not slop when you’re planning out what to do and what your end result is supposed to be.
People who talk this way have zero experience with actually using LLMs, especially coding models.

We would be faaaaaar less hostile towards copyrights if we had a regular source of RECENT public domain coming out every year.
I’m not saying that it would make GPL or OSS licenses useless. I’m just saying that the motivation and need for those licenses are because we don’t live in a society where freely available media and data are much more commonplace.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 1 week ago:
but in the end it boils down to being a text prediction machine.
And we’re barely smarter than a bunch of monkeys throw piles of shit at each other. Being reductive about its origins doesn’t really explain anything.
I trust the output as much as a random Stackoverflow reply with no votes :)
Yeah, but that’s why there’s unit tests. Let it run its own tests and solve its own bugs. How many mistakes have you or I made because we hate making unit tests? At least the LLM has no problems writing the tests, after you know it works.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 1 week ago:
Then they stop bothering to review the code.
This happens with human code reviews all the time.
“I don’t really understand this code, but APPROVE!”
“You need this thing merged today? APPROVE!”
“This code is too long, and it’s almost my lunch break. APPROVE!”
Over and over and over again. The worse thing you can insult me with is take code I spend days working on and approve it five minutes after I submitted it to you.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 1 week ago:
the problem is that if I have to nanny it to make sure it doesn’t make a mistake then how is it a useful product?
When was the last time you coded something perfectly? “If I have to nanny you to make sure you don’t make a mistake, then how are you a useful employee?” See how that doesn’t make sense. There’s a reason why good development shops live on the backs of their code reviews and review practices.
The math ain’t matching on this one.
The math is just fine. Code reviews, even audit-level thorough ones, cost far less time than doing the actual coding.
There’s also something to be send about the value in being able to tell an LLM to go chew on some code and tests for 10 minutes while I go make a sandwich. I get to make my sandwich, and come back, and there’s code there. I still have to review it, point out some mistakes, and then go back and refill my drink.
And there’s so much you can customize with personal rules. Don’t like its coding style? Write Markdown rules that reflect your own style. Have issues with it tripping over certain bugs? Write rules or memories that remind it to be more aware of those bugs. Are you explaining a complex workflow to it over and over again? Explain it once, and tell it to write the rules file for you.
All of that saves more and more time. The more rules you have for a specific project, the more knowledge it retains on how code for that project, and the more experience you gain in how to communicate to an entity that can understand your ideas. You wouldn’t believe how many people can’t rubberduck and explain proper concepts to people, much less LLMs.
LLMs are patient. They don’t give a shit if you keep demanding more and more tweaks and fixes, or if you have to spend a bit of time trying to explain a concept. Human developers would tell you to fuck off after a while, and get tired of your demands.
- Comment on AIPAC, Crypto, And DraftKings Are Buying Illinois' Elections—Is Your State Next? A case study of the Illinois Primary Election on March 17 1 week ago:
I don’t even live in the state, and the ridiculousness of these ad campaigns shows up in my feed.
voters are often misled by PAC names that sound progressive or civic-minded but are in fact vehicles for advancing a narrow geopolitical agenda
Random PSA: The US Chamber of Commerce is NOT a Congressional department, committee, or any sort of government-affiliated branch.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 1 week ago:
However, for more specialized code, I would be concerned. It would likely not function at all without editing, and if it did function it probably wouldn’t be optimized or secure.
That’s not completely true. Claude and some of the Chinese coding models have gotten a lot better at creating a good first pass.
That’s also why I like tests. Just force the model to prove that it works.
Oh, you built the thing and think it’s finished? Prove it. Go run it. Did it work? No? Then go fix the bugs. Does it compile now? Cool, run the unit test platform. Got more bugs? Fix them. Now, go write more unit tests to match the bugs you found. You keep running into the same coding issue? Go write some rules for me that tell yourself not to do that shit.
I mean, I’ve been doing this programming shit for many decades, and even I’ve been caught by my overconfidence of trying to write some big project and thinking it’s just going to work the first time. No reason to think even a high-powered Claude thinking model is going to magically just write the whole thing bug-free.

At this point, teachers do it “for the love of the game”, but they still want to get paid more than minimum wage.

If a FOSS project is archived/unmaintained, for a large enough project, someone else will pick up where the original left off.
No, they won’t. This line of thinking is how we got the above.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 1 week ago:
The GPL license only exists because copyright fucked over the public contract that it promised to society: Copyrights are temporary and will be given back to public domain. Instead, shitheads like Mark Twain and Disney extended copyright to practically forever.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 1 week ago:
In fact, I would argue that specifically designating code as machine written is detrimental to code review, because there will be a subconscious bias among many reviewers to only focus on reviewing the machine code.
Oh, it’s more than subconscious, as you can see in this thread.
Lutris developer makes a perfectly sane and nuianced response to a reactionary “is lutris slop now” comment, and gets shit on for it, because everybody has to fight in black and white terms.
What? Are you all going to shit on your lord and savior Linus himself for also saying he uses LLMs? Oh, what, you didn’t know?!?
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 1 week ago:
Agreed, I don’t understand people not even giving it a chance. They try it for five minutes, it doesn’t do exactly what they want, they give up on it, and shout how shit it is.
Meanwhile, I put the work in, see it do amazing shit after figuring out the basics of how the tech works, write rules and skills for it, have it figure out complex problems, etc.
It’s like handing your 90-year-old grandpa the Internet, and they don’t know what the fuck to do with it. It’s so infuriating.

This was a few years ago.
That’s 50 years in LLM terms. You might as well have been banging two rocks together.

No study on caffeine wants to acknowledge the elephant in the room: Half the population has undiagnosed ADHD, and people use caffeine to self-medicate, usually unaware of why they are doing it.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Starbucks uses local imports. The biggest problem is that they burn the shit out of the beans to normalize it down to the same flavor. So, the big appeal of using locally-sourced beans is wiped away by the way the need for a consistent “flavor”.
That’s why Starbucks coffee tastes like shit.

- Comment on "Cancel ChatGPT" movement goes mainstream after OpenAI closes deal with U.S. Department of War — as Anthropic refuses to surveil American citizens 3 weeks ago:
Okay, so you’re just a straight up “right-wing” warmonger yourself.
Far from it. You seem unnecessarily reactionary, ready to hard-accuse anybody that doesn’t agree 100% with your ideals. Again, absolutism is a bad thing, and the world is far more nuanced than your beliefs give it credit for.
You do not know me. Do not pretend that you do.
I could just as easily produce civilian casualties from the Iraq War, the Vietnam war, WWII, whatever. Shit, the US can never repay the terrible terrible debt it caused against the citizens of Laos.
None of that damage was caused by drones. The weapons change, but the horrible military decisions, unfortunately, do not.
This has nothing to do with LLMs. These are human decisions, made by terrible human beings that deserve to get shoved into the frontlines like the draft dodgers they are.
- Comment on "Cancel ChatGPT" movement goes mainstream after OpenAI closes deal with U.S. Department of War — as Anthropic refuses to surveil American citizens 3 weeks ago:
Partially autonomous weapons, like those used today in Ukraine, are vital to the defense of democracy.
You mean drones? You’re talking about drones. What’s wrong with drones?
We have never raised objections to particular military operations nor attempted to limit use of our technology in an ad hoc manner.
They had a contract with the Pentagon. They literally deal with military operations on a regular basis.
Hell, most of the pivotal technology developed in the last thousand years started as a military invention before civilian use. Including this internet thing you’re arguing on right now.
