Why? Literally why would they give a shit? This only makes sense if you assume that they spent billions of dollars to export religious conservativism outside of Saudi Arabia. I dunno if you’ve noticed, but Saudi Arabia has been spending trillions of dollars to present a totally different, modern image to the world. The people spending the money don’t actually give a shit about Allah. They only care what other people will submit to in Allah’s name, and they know that’s not going to fly outside their borders.
That’s why I initially brought up all those forms of AI that are perfectly fucking fine. But you’re like, NOPE. So don’t throw that in MY face. Perhaps you didn’t understand what I was saying. But you were STILL like, NOPE. Which leads me to believe YOU don’t even know what you mean when you say, “AI”. “Generative AI” isn’t a specific thing. It’s any software that outputs something a human might consume as content. You just mean, “bad shit I don’t understand” I suppose.
The problem is not the technology, it is that entrenched capitalists are leveraging their wealth and power to steal culture from all of us, and cynical investors engaging in the largest pump and dump in history. And if you can’t make that distinction, your voice doesn’t have a damn thing to contribute to this conversation other than “Naw, fuck AI.”
I’ve been on the receiving end of a lot of moral panics and it’s not okay. Naw, fuck pearl clutchers.
Nah. Fuck IP raiders. There’s nothing wrong with GAN. There’s nothing wrong with LLM. There’s nothing wrong with gradient descent. There’s nothing wrong with diffusion models. There’s nothing wrong with markov chains, with expert systems, with fuzzy logic, with PROLOG. Not on a moral or ethical level, for certain.
Why make a new game when you can make money from micro transactions in your current one.
You are being facetious, but the question demands an answer: there IS no good reason for investors. It’s very likely Rockstart genuinely would not have made as much money developing new properties as they did exploiting their established ones. And if they did, it would have been a gamble vs a virtual sure thing.
The demands of capital are not compatible with art. These companies don’t serve our needs, they exploit our desires. Don’t buy art from corporations, buy it from artists.
When I came across this (not for the first time) a few years ago, I was staggered. It was like I saw a kid shooting hoops when graduated from elementary school in the 90s, came back 30 years later, and saw the same kid still shooting hoops with a beard around his knees. I really aught to see what three decades of development produced…
No don’t look it up, simply assume that you know what it means without ever seeing a definition because your brain is just better than everyone else’s.
The Open Source Definition

Introduction
Open source doesn’t just mean access to the source code. The distribution terms of open source software must comply with the following criteria:
…
I think you are reading in the “designed by humans” part. Even when that is nominally true, the whole point of procedural generation is to create a level of complexity and emergence that the outputs are surprising and novel. Things no one expected are desirable. I think the distinction being drawn is not meaningful; in both cases, it is entirely possible and likely that no human being understands how a given output was arrived at.

So, normal people having a bad day. We must aggressively treat people having bad days, even if they don’t consent to treatment, because normies are a violent threat to public safety.
Less ironically, I don’t agree with your distinction. When people say that “mental issues” cause people to shoot up a school, I think they are talking about serious psychological disorders, not a transient state of mind that might happen to anyone. They are unconsciously looking for an “other” to blame.
How quickly you retreat to sophistry. I said what I meant. Everyone can see it right there, you cannot twist it, no matter how you try. The vast majority of murders and other violent acts are committed by people who are not dealing with any mental disabilities. Contrarily, people with mental disabilities commit violence far less than the general population. When you said, “People with mental health issues shoot up schools,” you might have merely been speaking imprecisely, but then you doubled down on it. I suggest you do some research on the subject before you stigmatize mental illness again.
Okay, but why? The hypothesis that they bought an extremely successful business because they want to make money doesn’t need any further explanation. What is the motivation for them to try to export their strict laws to other countries? You act like it gives them so much personal joy at taking away our gay kissing, that’s reason enough.
