So, it's no longer being hidden, what's the problem now? I just opened lutris, I don't notice any crazy change. And the developer said this, "It was tremendously helpful in helping me catch up with everything I wasn't able to do last year because of health issues / depression.", so I don't see some huge issue here.
AI is going to be everywhere, whether we like it or not. There are millions of active daily users on all various LLM platforms, are open source projects supposed to be immune from this? Of course not!
AI is already very limited to it's context window, and tokens, so it's not some magic pill that will make all your code perfect. I understand the AI backlash but people need to chill, it's not some magic genie that will transform anything you throw at it, it's still pretty limited.
Oh I think the backlash is warranted. This whole thing is just running on a doom spiral of debt. That never ends well. Wait until the rug pull, where those token costs go from a few thousand a month, to suddenly putting companies in jeopardy because they had to charge what they actually should be to generate revenue, and someone ends up with a million dollar bill at the end of the month. Can't wait for that part. Also can't wait for the brainless execs to quit sounding like robots, and foaming at the mouth as they are doing just about the next thing to jacking off while thinking of firing us all. No, the rage is definitely warranted.
Right but this is about 1 dev using claude for lutris because he's apparently going through a rough time in his life right now.
This one guy isnt to blame for the problems with the AI industry
No this one guy certainly isn't. But it's shit like this that's feeding the beast. In a way it's almost like the AI version of greenwashing.
Also I wouldn't trust AI with tough time stuff. There's already several documented cases where it's led to people committing suicide and whatever else.
