So all AI use is harmful?

I gave up reading the article due to silly phrasing and editorialising: "punishment", "AI tools many publishers have brazenly admitted to using are a double-edged sword." And so on.

The nonsense about "hypocrisy", companies act in the best interest of their shareholders.

It isn't hypocrisy to use AI tooling and also attempt to protect their IP. Not wanting to be stabbed and using a knife to cut my steak dinner up doesn't make me a hypocrite.

Thanks

Can someone explain what this is to someone like me that doesn't know python very well, but programs a lot in c#?

Yes, but you don't know if you'll be laid off. The subsequent offer may well be "you get to keep your job".

I'd say Nintendo gave you 10x the fun of neo geo. Yeah it looked cool, but mario and Zelda on the nes played like nothing else. And then we got street fighter 2 on snes which is better than any snk fighter I've played :)

(I'll run for cover now as I'm sure neogeo fans will disagree!)

Please can you take the time to elaborate. The comment as you have left it doesn't add much without explanation. There is more and more of this on hacker news.

People are happy enough to spend their money on it though. (Personally I'm amazed people pay money for some different coloured pixels in a game, but in general I don't really like modern games. I aged out somewhere around the PS2 era and now mostly buy from gog.com or play emulators: I'm not the target market!).

You haven't addressed what I said. Some generalities but nothing specific. I am unclear on what you actually mean.

Fair points. But valve have been up to their own shitty anti competitive behaviour too. As far as I understand they don't allow games to be listed on other services at a lower price. Also they take 30 percent compared to epics 12, yet everyone seems to hate epics attempts to break their monopoly. Steam is great, but I try to use gog instead when I can.

What do we know about Metallica?

Genuine question, what inside info did he have?

Also

"Initial drummer Carruthers was replaced after Mustaine and Ellefson decided they could not trust him. Carruthers had chosen to hide his black heritage from them by claiming he was Spanish, and they could not understand why he would deceive them.Brett Frederickson joined the band in November 1983 as their next drummer."

That move probably hasn't aged well. Pretty nasty.

Edit: I can't recall which podcast I heard this, but ismtbhebthe guy that was sad that his band didn't sell as many records as Metallica?

I really doubt there's any correlation between left Vs right voting tendencies and intelligence.

I bought some bitcoin in 2017. Im using electrum, I'm terrified I'm going to get hacked. To the point where I don't even have electrum installed anywhere. I was thinking paper wallets are probably my best bet. I'm not sure what to do. And right now I don't have enough time to seriously investigate my options.
