Anyone can go through the code. And maybe find things, if they’re not too subtle and not successfully obfuscated. But not everyone will.

I feel like a malicious actor could hit a big pay day with a popular thing like Bloodborne, before people found the malice. There’s plenty of malware posing as game cracks out there, and it’s only easier to do that with AI tooling.

But aside from that, AI code can have confidentially incorrect code that has unwanted consequences.

Code review is difficult.

I don’t believe so, but I imagine people are working on that.

Along the same lines as the other guy said.

It’s difficult to verify that the software does the desired thing in all cases. It’s also difficult to verify that it’s not also a keylogger or other unwanted thing.

It may also have some AI generated code path that, say, nukes your home directory because the AI determined that was the appropriate error handling. Maybe no one reviewed it so they don’t even know it’s there. It might not even be malicious.

That’s all true of any software, but rapidly created AI generated code for legally dubious efforts, by unknown agents (no pun intended) is real hecking risky.

Sure but if it works it works right?

Verifying that software does the intended task and only the intended task is not trivial.

there is no environment or time where an approach would be appreciated

Doesn’t really follow from

women want to be left alone and be independent

There’s a lot of spaces between “don’t hit on the waitress” and “chat with friends of friends at a birthday party”

Of course, you do have to enter the world to be perceived by the world.

There’s already emulators that run fine. This seems extremely sketchy.

There’s a lot of idiots out there desperate for validation they don’t deserve.

It’s like the “only democrats have agency” thing. We as a society don’t seem to hold republicans to any sort of standard. They’re like a fire that burns or a plague that spreads. You can’t expect a fire to be polite.

Except they’re not an elemental force of nature. They’re people. People with names and addresses and free will. They should be held accountable.

When will rich people learn do with less?

We’ve got billionaires and mega millionaires stinking up the place like dragons sitting on their hoards. Seems like there are some easy fixes that don’t involve turnips.

It’s not bad but it’s not as good as its inspirations- sekiro is much more satisfying.

What’s the monetization plan? I don’t do subscriptions but would consider a buy-once or old fashioned “buy expansions every year or so”

Most people don’t care about things. They just want the convenience. Eat the marshmallows now. Getting a stomach ache later is some future problem.

Interesting. I played the game a fair amount, but it doesn’t usually hook me. I feel like exploring is often kind of hollow and I don’t find interesting stuff

Different parts of NY state are all very different. Even different neighborhoods within Brooklyn can be very different costs and experiences. I live here but would not willingly choose to live in the suburbs around the city.

In the city, you’re likely not going to find rent under $1000/month. Make a budget spreadsheet. You can cut some corners - my phone bill is $20/month, and I eat a lot of rice and beans to keep my food budget low - but some stuff is just expensive.

You’ll probably need room mates.

Look for colleges first, if that’s a goal. Some have housing assistance.

Meh. Heroic launcher has been fine.

I don’t mind this. I’ve never ridden one of the horse carriages. They seem expensive aside from the animal welfare concerns.

I just had a flashback to one of my first office jobs.

They had weekly reporting that needed to be done, and someone non-technical had been assigned to do it. They had like gone into the database and copy-pasted records into excel, and the whole operation took a full day.

I was like, “Hold on. What? You know you can script all of this, right?”

Luckily my boss liked me, and let me go ahead. Changed the task into an hour, including making whatever charts and slide-deck management wanted that month.

Though I do wonder if sometimes doing things badly is a weird pro-labor move- They get paid the same if they take all day versus an hour, so why bother speeding it up?

I need to find a better phrase than “cargo cult” but I see a lot of that at work. People who don’t understand why a system is the way it is become fanatical about doing it particular ways.

Like, you have to do “file -> save as” into the directory. If you save it somewhere else first and copy it that’s NO GOOD

I feel like a lot of people involved in the hiring process are incompetent and shouldn’t be there. Like you have HR people who can barely use Word asking if you know Java or JavaScript

He also earned a very specific fame for his “You’re not supposed to be here” Easter egg in Duke Nukem 3D, which was only accessible via cheating.

Oh! I remember that one!
