Are we talking Oracle null or ansi null? I'm just being sarcastic and I don't actually remember all the fed up s** Oracle did

And standards are what's going to probably fall to the wayside, since that's something that engineers care about. Vibe coders don't

Despite the fact that fundamentally vibe coding is enabled by good interface specification and design specs by engineers

The massive category of software that companies actually don't want to write or maintain....

Now we just have to get them to expose interfaces so that we can write the software for the interfaces that we want.

The ick is the lack of passion for the game and making sure it is accurate and faithful.

Instead it is: hey I burned some tokens on this... I dodn't test it or give you any indication thereof, so it's probably a waste of your time, since it's legacy is well known enough, it'll get some attention.

Get used to it!

AI is the perfect tool of total permanent authorization control, and it seems inevitable at this point between the ample supply of authoritarian wannabes and the fundamentally compromised institutions that would resist them

There's probably a bit of a lottery winners effect.

So consider backing there. There may have been 20 companies trying to make 20 games, All in startup mode.

Now two or three of those succeed ed.. which means the management and team chemistry and creativity all worked really well. And the team members will have them mistaken impression that it's that easy.

But then some people leave some people ad in the next games, sure, they may have a better foundation than some other team situations at others, but it's going to gradually regress to the mean

Are there focused and tuned decompilation AI agents, outside of these llm ones which I think are going to be more expensive?

The compilation recompilation and automatic porting represents such a quantum leap in terms of software, preservation and software freedom.

Almost like every single piece of software written in the last 50 years can be repurposed by the end users for what they need, not the oppression copyright laws and judgements handed out by a corrupt judiciary and legislative branch

It's almost like they are run for the benefit of the ultra rich...

Let them eat cake.

Ideal state of capitalism: a few ultra rich, and many categories of slaves.

Our entire "free" civilization is a Trump (or the next guy) whim from an AI-processed ubiquitously monitored complete authoritarian lockdown.

Legislative, Executive, Judicial, doesn't matter: everything since 9/11, and likely much longer before in unofficial capacities, has been the steady groundwork for complete overturn of civil and constitutional rights indefinitely ... and therefore permanently.

Gulf of Tonkin / Reichstag Fire as justification. Secret courts, enemy combatants, warrantless monitoring, disappearing of people, dismantling of institutional memory. Databases, social networks, graph inference of behavior, secret lists. Massive prison infrastructure with no regard for cruel and unusual punishment.

This is the imminent great filter: not some nuclear armageddon. It's staring at us in China -- the human race placed under boot, and everyone stops having kids. A couple generations, and a civilization essentially disappears.
