It’s not like there’s nobody around to decompile and subsequently port games. Up until a short while ago there was a community of decompilers that ultimately shut down because there were too many people forking ongoing projects just to shit out a slop port of the things they were working on. It’s not as simple as “AI porting games to obscure platforms”, it’s also a lot of “AI taking existing work, slopping it to the finish line and then flooding the market”. The market is flooded with machine translations of the same book.

Machine translation gives them access to the book; does that mean we should create dozens of machine translations of every book out there, for every possible language?

I would rather read a human-translated book, than a machine-translated one

Coming at it from another angle: I would hate for sidewalks to be taken over by robots. It feels like the sidewalks get less safe if there’s these feet-level robots running around on there.If anything they should be on the road, maybe in a faster vehicle. Maybe a bigger vehicle, maybe one that already exists. Hmm

idk I just have joy in the process of making something. Software development is a creating craft, and devising components, getting into the nitty gritty of the application and putting it all together is where I get my joy from.

I don’t think any other maker would just replace their entire process of creation with a chatbot. Only the software engineer, the poor lost soul…

It seems to me agentic coders just hate every aspect of the craft, so they replace it with AI. Then what’s the point of even making software?

next AI will be able to replicate into any device containing copper at all. If it has a wire it will be infected by Claude. AI will be in your plumbing

gut dass hier noch jemand and die wirklich wichtigen sachen denkt
