Ok and what did Infiniminer copy? What about games like Papers Please or Obra Dinn, or Blue Prince. Yes, games can have different influences, but the idea that everything is a copy is totally incorrect. Some stuff is way more unique and original than others.

For tools or utilities, maybe that's fine. For creative works like games, no way, I'm calling out rip offs every time I see them.

Hah I completely agree! I actually already had that on my task list, I'm adding that exact feature to both the webapp and mobile version this weekend.

lol we know it's by the same people as enclose horse, the issue is that it rips off gerrymandle

Yes but surely you can see that this is copying much more than just the general idea of a game about gerrymandering.

I get your argument, but I liked it! Something about isolating each segment makes it feel more readable. Perhaps in an ideal world every article like this would allow the reader to switch between "slideshow" and "single page" view, since the same content would work for both.

Well... it's more about how many interesting permutations there are, not really just about length or quantity for the sake of big numbers. In other words: it's not about "look how many puzzles there are" it's "look how many INTERESTING puzzles there are"... which may seem like a small distinction, but when the claim of the puzzles being "interesting" is true, and being said in a genuine non-marketing way, it means a lot.

(sorry just noticed the typo now lol)

As a fellow Canadian I think you have a misunderstanding of what’s at stake here. There is potential to lose tens of thousands of jobs by agreeing to the bad deal the american’s proposed.

This is the first comment that showed for me, and it’s pretty useless. I don’t think it’s much better than the kind of comments you’re complaining about.

The race has nothing to do with the stadium, other than running past it. They don’t have to get permission from anyone. Also, there’s no evidence that AI was involved, it could have just as easily been some designer googling for “Allianz Stadium” and illustrating the first thing that came up.

I have some big issues with this technology and the companies behind it, but I know of quite a few people personally who were not previously coders but have now been able to use LLMs to make their own custom software, solving real problems they had.

unfortunate typo lol
