>> Those persons (a judge, the police, even if robots by then) are the oracle.

they are not. The oracle is always a computer. It is a record in gov db that says you own something.

Judge and the police are the enforcers.

I will take Python over typescript every second of every day. TypeScript is just so unreadable compared to Python.

>> PR rate dropped 95% in the first day,

sounds like a slop fest was going on, the quality will probably improve now

Decompiling is not same as pirating though.

In order do decompile you already need a game. If you usually buy games you'd still buy one. If you pirate games - you'd still pirate it.

So doesn't seem clear to me if there is a lot of lost revenue here?

And pirates don't really need AI do hack a game etc. All possible games have been on torrent trackers since forever.

Possibly ability to decompile and modify it would be a free marketing (from those who mod it and post videos) and only increase sales. Potentially what games should do is optimize builds for this so that mods can be easily created and shared - e.g. you buy a game and apply a bunch of mods created by ai or not.

The only reason I see is when it can hurt sales if some cool mod someone does can't be easily applied to original game and then you have no choice but to pirate it in order to play that mod.

>> I've learnt more since the advent of LLMs than I did in the 10 years prior.

You read more. "Learned" is if you actually manually applied it. Otherwise its like reading fiction - illusion of productivity or brain function.

Solving sudoku would be a better exercise for your brain and more load.

Yeah its a race to the bottom as ai can vibe code any infra now

I think non-senior engineers don’t realize just how much of a burden is barely reviewed ai generated code.

I’ve seen a few projects that heavily rely on ai with not very good (though senior) devs driving it - and its a mess. Not the code. The resulting product. Code is actually sound as ai is pretty good now.

All because ai does code reviews and dump decisions go into prod

yes they can clone western companies.

very valuable, very high tech.

cloudflare has their weird proprietary stack like workers etc and they build a ton of low effort products on it.

a few years ago it was exciting to read their product launches - and to use them.

Now it feels like a wave of slop. They do whatever next thing is trending on twitter. fs for agents? sure! new git? sure! agent os? Sure!

like there is absolutely no filter. whatever pops in their mind they push it. and the results are mediocre at best.
