The biggest question is going to be will the AI be able to run locally or will they use it as an excuse to turn the game into a subscription.

I can see it now… “The game needs to make calls to OpenAI that we have to pay for to generate dialog so we need to charge by the month for the game”

They will finally have an excuse to turn single player games into subscriptions as well.

Using AI in games isn’t about AI coding. Using AI to code games is likely already in almost every studio.

When they say AI in games that means AI artwork, voice lines, environments, etc.

i.e. imagine NPCs that change their voice lines based on recent events like recently completed missions, or your player looks/equipment/etc. With AI you don’t have to pre-record a near infinite amount of voice lines they can be generated on the fly.

Presumably the cert would be a smart card (similar to credit card chips) protected with a pin. And they can use revocation lists to remove cards that are reported stolen.

There would have to be a serial number at the least but that would change every time your card expired, and the government would certainly know who is issued what serial.

Another downside is users would need smart card or NFS readers to use them. Smart cards have been around for digital identification for decades now, it’s really surprising that more government haven’t pushed their use. From a user perspective though it would be pretty quick that every online service would start requiring them and any online anonymity would erode pretty quickly.

It’s presumably to give you legal ground to sue if some corporation scrapes Lemmy content and uses it to train AI, or whatever other commercial purpose.

Hopefully if enough people do it they would consider the dataset too risky to use. They could try and parse out comments that have that license statement but if any get missed somehow they open themselves up to lawsuits.

That would force them to instead pay for content from somewhere that has a EULA forcing the users to hand over copyright regardless of what they put in their posts (i.e. Reddit).

There is a free fan made remake of the shooter. https://totemarts.games/games/renegade-x/

Unfortunately while EA seems fine with them distributing this as long as it is free, they won’t allow them to put it on Steam.

I haven’t played it in a couple of years so I don’t know if there are still active servers but it is a very good remake.
