- Comment on Following the nightmare footage of AI-loy, Horizon actor Ashly Burch shares her stance on the whole debacle 1 week ago:
Quite quickly in the video Burch shared to TikTok, she explained that developer Guerilla had contacted her to claim that the “demo didn’t reflect anything that was actively in development”, and importantly didn’t use any of her vocal or facial performance. Even with that, Burch did still say she feels “worried”, not about “Guerrilla specifically, or Horizon, or my performance, or my career specifically, even. I feel worried about this art form. Game performance as an art form.”
As Burch points out, The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) is still currently on strike, specifically because of concerns over AI being used to replace actors in the game development process, and that they’re asking for protections from its usage. This includes very reasonable things like requiring consent before making an AI version of the actor in question, fair compensation, and to be informed of how the AI dub is being used.
For Burch, her concern is a video like this coming out that is based on someone’s performance, and “the possibility that if we lose this fight, that person would have no recourse. They wouldn’t have any protections, any way to fight back. And that possibility… it makes me so sad. It hurts my heart. It scares me.”

- Comment on Deepfake videos are getting shockingly good | TechCrunch 1 month ago:
Of course that would also mean any authenticated video can never be truly anonymous :(
With modern face recognition, having your face in a video already deanonymizes you so there is no further deanonymization caused by authenticating your video cryptographically.
If you want anonymity then don’t include your face (or signature) in the video.
If you want attestation that a video is real and not generated then anyone who witnessed the scene depicted can sign the video to attest to it. Then we would need a web of trust to determine whose signatures are trustworthy.

- Comment on Deepseek when asked about sensitive topics 1 month ago:
I thought that guardrails were implemented just through the initial prompt that would say something like “You are an AI assistant blah blah don’t say any of these things…” but by the sounds of it, DeepSeek has the guardrails literally trained into the net?
This must be the result of the reinforcement learning that they do. I haven’t read the paper yet, but I bet this extra reinforcement learning step was initially conceived to add these kind of censorship guardrails rather than making it “more inclined to use chain of thought” which is the way they’ve advertised it (at least in the articles I’ve read).

- Comment on Is there any way to search through all the games on Steam for titles that don't use the word "dystopian" anywhere in the description? 2 months ago:
You can exclude tags by going to your Store Settings page and scrolling down to “Tags to Exclude.” You can only exclude up to 10, and this only works for games that are actually tagged with the word. It doesn’t exclude keywords in the description. I don’t know how many games are actually tagged with “dystopian.”
This works best for genre types.

- Comment on Is there a way to exclude topics from what I see on Lemmy? 4 months ago:
Yes, I use a uBlock Origin filter that looks like this:
lemmy.ml##div.mt-2.post-listing:has(.d-sm-block.d-none>.post-container.row>.flex-grow-1.col>.row>.flex-grow-1.col>.post-title:has-text(/trump|elon|musk|biden|kamala/i))You’ll need to modify the domain at the start (replace
lemmy.mlwith your instance hostname) and then change the keywords at the end with whatever keywords you want to exclude.To use it:
- click the uBO icon and then the gear (settings) icon
- click on the My Filters tab
- make sure that “Enable My Custom Filters” is checked
- paste the filter into the text area below
- press the “Apply Changes” button

This is so much better than a remake or remaster.
id Software led the way, decades ago, making Doom and then Quake engines open source. I wish more studios would donate their old software to the public domain.
Fingers crossed one day we will get Unreal source code. I wonder if it even still exists.

Hilarious that the screenshot Kotaku use in the article is his social media post with his recommendations of what sites to download the games from.

You don’t even have to do anything and there are thousands of people out there trying to protect you from getting more fucked[…]
Don’t go around telling them they don’t have to “do anything” plz 😅
You removed the emphasis on “You” from my quote which changes the meaning. I specifically meant that you, the person that I am replying to, don’t need to do anything, and there are people who will do something on your behalf.
Nothing that you’ve said changes my critique of your critique btw. You said:
he lives in absolute La La land
No, actually he presented a well thought out analysis of the way that the relationship between business and customer/user in our current system, along with the relationship between business and legislator, both entrenches monopolies and causes a pathological dependency whereby customers cannot exercise their right to freely choose with whom they do business, and so their rights are severely diminished.
the idea that these webs of laws or these models of “how things should work” mean anything tho the people with power are complete nonsense.
The main point of my reply was that you are arguing against a straw-man here since the intended audience of the article is not “the people with power.”
like, buddy, your country just went full Nazi. You’ve been living in a total fantasy. You’re not going to rethink the concept of fixers, get a grip.
A non-sequitur and then a baseless dismissal of the argument that suggests that you either didn’t read it, or didn’t understand it.

Did you think this blog post was aimed at the people with power, to petition them to change the laws?
It’s aimed at us, the people getting fucked over, to point out what (among the many other things) we should be fighting for. Commentary like this is important to align the goals of the organizations, charities and lobby groups that defend YOUR civil rights by filing amicus briefs, publishing articles, encouraging activism and drives to get citizens to write to their representatives on the important matters that affect their rights. You don’t even have to do anything and there are thousands of people out there trying to protect you from getting more fucked by Big Tech and capitalism, on a volunteer basis.
It sounds to me like you’ve just given up hope that any progress can be made on this front, given the new status quo.
Never give up. Just because civil rights defenders will be on the defensive for a few years does not mean that discussions of what is worth defending no longer have value.
