Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

I don't care if it is the fucking Half Life 3 in the flesh. If a game uses some short of AI I will never buy it.

On to the shit list they go.

Upside, so if these guys use AI to create assets or code, none of that can be copyrighted currently under the law. Therefore if it's not copyrightable then pirating the game and using those assets in other games is perfectly fine.

This would never hold up in court, in part due to regulatory capture, but I think this is the only thing that would stop them.

Oh, I'm aware of that. Just that courts will not rule against things that involve the use of AI in general. You cannot take the output directly from, but once a human gets involved they will allow it. There's too many monied interests to allow the restrictions.

That's the fun part of all of it though, there's no definition or even subjective ruling of what constitutes "substantial transformation" or any ruling that generative AI being derivative of copyrighted material, it's a complete legal clusterfuck of law and consequences.

But yeah, I do agree that if a ruling or law change came about it would definitely be in the favor of late stage capitalism.

Doesnt that guy want his ai to own the copyright of the art it makes?

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 3 points 4 days ago

Pirating the game and using those assets was always fine, no matter the circumstances, company, artist, or developer. Copyright and intellectual property is an illusion the capitalist class uses to exclude the poor from ideas they feel they can profit from.

I really don't care what they use to make a game. I care that it isn't shit. There's plenty of good and bad uses of generative AI.
