Many of the retro community doesn't want AI involvement in these projects, and vibeports/slopcomps boom (started from Unleashed Recompiled hype and RexGlue tool for Xbox 360, insofar both aren't AI-made stuff) are actually producing its own stigmas. Did you not read https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/pc-ports-of-old-cons... ?

I honestly wonder if the "slopcomp"/"vibeport" (AI-heavy fan recomps/ports of old games) boom was getting into a problem for them at this point. Many of these things are also glorified single-game emulators, even having components from established emulators for things such as graphics rendering.

Last time around on that front: https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/pc-ports-of-old-cons...

And remember the Samsung smart TV thing from days ago?

Knowing how big the meltdown it was, you would need to regulate parasocial interactions (of which AI partners are) in general too - beyond just regulating this (and gachas).

Didn't the Pippin prototype case (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viGqjKACKQg) went that way?

How long until they add a 21+ category to this bill, though? Insofar the use of it would be for gambling and CA doesn't even have mobile sports betting.

I read a FUD somewhere about Cinavia (the sound-muting DRM) being implemented on OS level by implementing it on SGX enclave level. That obviously didn't happen, but imagine if TPM was used for that too (or similar DRM).

I feel traditional "rust" hard disks would be inefficient for AI use. Unless they include SSDs (which I feel these data centers are more likely to be using) in the definition as well...

They are doing this pre-emptively since it will be the global law trend sooner or later.

>not due to legislative pressures

It's a pre-emptive move against any (potential) legislative pressures.

>users can always move to other platforms (problem #1)

Until the cycle restarts again with new platforms.

Also, I am convinced self-hosting or getting a new platform (including return to traditional forums) to run might as well be bureaucratically harder at this point, given the case of lfgss' shutdown: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42433044

Some platforms also now suspend you if they find out you were registering before turning 13 (or minimum age).
