Not directly related to Hytale but I thought this was a pretty good read. We already know most of this but it's nice to hear the perspective of somebody that is actually in those investor meetings and hearing them talk about AI and replacing creators. Very disgusting stuff.

For anyone in the pure "fuck AI" crowd, I link this, just so they can be informed that Simon isn't pure anti-AI.

Personally I still enjoy and support Hytale.

But I know AI is a hot topic, so there's for anyone who wants to know.

    I'm in the "If a person didn't make it, I don't want to see it; unless it's actually innovative in some way and not just random slop" camp.

    The first AI generated images were pretty cool, the newer ones were impressive tech (though based on the work of artists who didn't opt-into the scraping, so stolen), now it's just annoying.

    I may still support Hytale (looking to buy it in the following weeks, wondering if I'm actually gonna end up playing it regularly) but I know I'm not interacting Simon's social media accounts if he's gonna post slop (I don't even have BlueSky so I don't really care that much).

    Yeah there are lots of people who are in the “we shouldn’t replace jobs with this but it exists so who cares if I do a meme about it”

    If I knew there was an image gen that was trained ethically and was run locally? I’d be less inclined to complain about memes, but you are basically doing micro transactions for the Nazis when you do this.

    I dunno I guess if you haven’t thought about it deeply then you wouldn’t come to this conclusion, but the “hey stop being a crybaby online I know you’re wrong because you are annoying” kinda has a troubling tech bro “stop being a woke” attitude. Simon should probably exercise a little restraint and have a deep think about what’s really happening here.

    People who can't find nuance in this topic aren't worth humoring. Instantly describing a complex image into reality is cool, actually. Calling it theft is deeply silly when the preferred alternative is an unaltered screenshot of some popular cartoon. It's dead easy to hate on these specific companies and capitalism in general without kneejerk bad-faith harassment.

    It's cool, yes.

    But there are ethical and environmental issues with it, and his response to people bringing that up is a pretty bad look. It's one thing to have discussions and disagreements about using genAI for memes, it's another to insult people saying it's bad.

    And some people actually do consciously vote with their dollar, so it's nice to share information about where the dollar goes.

    His response of correctly spotting unanswerable antagonism?

    What you're doing in the comment above is participating in a harassment campaign. Presumably you have no such grand intent, but no pebble feels responsible for the avalanche. It's a purity test, where deleting the offending image is seen as equally incriminating, pointing out the touchy response is equally offensive... and you, a self-proclaimed supporter, are linking to a zero-tolerance scold account that only tracks this sort of receipt. There's not much daylight between @duckaislop and "anti-woke" Steam game lists. Different motives... identical behavior.

    The crystal clear message is wagging a finger at anyone thinking of buying this game that doesn't even use this tech. Your professed endorsement does not match this behavior.
