I just updated my home network to 2.5gb so I’m glad to see this.
- Comment on KDE developers' attempts at creating LLM guidelines are not going well 1 week ago:
You’re fundamentally misunderstanding my argument.
If you use AI to, for example, learn how to decompress or recompress a file, how can you be sure that the outputting function doesn’t match one-for-one an (open or closed) source implementation? You literally cannot, as the AI system generally operates on a black box and cannot “learn” how to attribute and, cynically, the people who make the AI tools do not want to learn how to attribute code from the original developers.
If you take Godot’s renderer code (MIT project) and copy and paste it into a project that is also MIT, that doesn’t mean you can get rid of the Godot attribution. You must preserve the attribution of the code – this is important to learn for all open source developers.
The “learning” argument you’re proposing, which is buying into AI anthropomorphisation, still doesn’t protect you from copyright. If you have photographic memory and worked at adobe, for example, you can’t simply “learn” the code and output the same code to an open source competitor. This is generally why people who work on closed source try to avoid working in same-field open source – the risk of violation is way too high unless you intentionally break design decisions.
Individual code snippets might not be covered but it depends on the line count – but that also changes from territory to territory. IANAL, so my general advice for people who are “learning” from closed source to contribute to alike open source: just don’t. There are other open source projects that can use your skills. And if you’re looking at other open source projects and taking whole functions, you must attribute the project in question (this is pretty easy but depends also on the license of the code you’re looking at.) AI doesn’t have the capacity to understand any of this nuance, and I’d argue it doesn’t understand this by design: hurting copyright hurts open source more than it hurts big exploitative businesses.

- Comment on KDE developers' attempts at creating LLM guidelines are not going well 1 week ago:
The issue with KDE accepting AI generated code is that it’s arguably not the right of the programmer to “submit” code produced by an AI as the copyright of the training material is questionable. It’s like the inverse of white-room engineering, there’s actually no way of knowing whether the code coming out of the black box is “authentic” or not.
They need to establish rules grounded with the understanding that AI generated code cannot be copyrighted by the user who produced it, which means it cannot be licensed under the KDE licenses as is.
That’s my 2 cents. I do think them having a discussion around it is important going forward.
- Comment on XBOX lays off hundreds more, Activision takes over Halo and more changes 1 week ago:
UGH. Remind me again where they got the money to buy all this stuff in the first place?
Just add it to the big pile of reasons to hate Microsoft. They literally can’t even hold on to things that were good without turning them shitty lol.
- Comment on Love 'em or hate 'em, if it weren't for the Sonic the Hedgehog films, the blue blur might have been canned entirely, so says series boss Takashi Iizuka 1 week ago:
Crazy to think it was actually that bad. I don’t feel like the quality of Sonic Frontiers reflects just how make or break the series was at that point in time.

No, AI is killing the PC parts industry.
- Comment on Steam Controller: Dropped and doubled inputs?! Bad connection?! 4 months ago:
No, the prompt won’t respond to non keyboard input devices. You have to click with a mouse or keyboard.
There should really be a timeout confirmation, you know, like most prompts of this sort. It’s a pretty big design flaw imo.

- Comment on Steam is adding support to show estimated FPS for your hardware before buying a game 5 months ago:
How will this be achieved? I’d be curious to see if a really rudimentary estimation is used based on GPU benchmarks internally (like an estimation kernel trained of Valve’s internal benchmarking of machines against the steam machine, for example.)
- Comment on StarCraft-Inspired RTS From Former Blizzard Devs Losing Online Multiplayer Because Server Partner Was Bought By AI Company - Aftermath (Nathan Grayson) 5 months ago:
It works really well through wine. It’s a little setup but it isn’t too bad imo.
- Comment on StarCraft-Inspired RTS From Former Blizzard Devs Losing Online Multiplayer Because Server Partner Was Bought By AI Company - Aftermath (Nathan Grayson) 5 months ago:
Thankfully there are still some games that have custom server support, but they’re mostly in the open source space.
I really agree that, with the way gaming has gone, custom servers are going to be a necessity. The only problem is that people generally like the consistency and usability of match-making services which would also need to be open sourced, but I think there are probably clever ways to design around this (for example, servers belong to tags and users have to opt-in and opt-out of tags, and game master server lists are responsible for administering these tags.)

Yes,
but game companies also want to spy on you and potentially sell your data. Even if they aren’t selling it, the ability to do so increases the value to investors. This is the way tech companies talk about invasive usage in general, FWIW.
