Is it that simple? Can we add in don't destroy humanity also?

ANTHROPIC IS CRACKING DOWN ON VIDEO GAME REWRITES 🚨
Claude Code picked up a new rule around Oct 27, sent from Anthropic’s servers under a flag called "tengu_heron_brook". There’s no setting to turn it off.
The full rule: “Do build original games, games in a genre, and games from the user’s own designs and assets. Don’t build a recreation of a specific existing game, even if it is renamed or called original.”
Is this the end of game rewrites, modding and everything in between?

You mean you can use AI to decompile any video game and rewrite it!?
You don't say... So like someone will be able to decompile and rebuild it with their own mods!?
You mean that we can all make our own versions of modded games now!?
Banned.
AI is not for us.
thank God you don't have to build the game and can just request to review the source? funny how they can be socially engineered easier than a person.
I've just been recruited into being a localholic. Thanks Anthriopic! If it wasn't for your greed and arrogance I wouldn't be dedicating all of my free time to completely decentralizing compute and freeing the world!
Copyright infringement for me, not for thee, eh Claude?
Nvm. GLM5.3 is just as good...and a good deal more slutty about this sort of stuff :)
But it isn't illegal, so why?
Someone linked an interesting article recently which I unfortunately didn’t save. The gist was that Anthropic and the others set out to sell cheaper workforce (I.e. replace programmers), so they can sell the service to all the big software giants out there.
Problem is, that these tools also enabled people to just create own solutions instead of buying existing solutions anymore. Or to rebuild an equivalent for something otherwise proprietary.
So instead of making workers of big tech obsolete, they made big tech obsolete (well, not fully yet, but you know what I mean).
They likely try to counter this a little bit now. Won’t work though, since open weight models have been and still are catching up.
Same shit's gonna happen to Hollywood. Actors and editors just inherited the Earth, now that you can change any footage to look like anything. That's not gonna fix a Niel Breen film. But if you've got good angles of decent actors on you-get-the-idea sets, all of that can take several hundred million dollars worth of CGI, on the cheap, overnight.
Admittedly I predicted this several entire years ago, expecting it would start within six months. Video tech took a while to get less screwy.
Bruh now China will catch up to us in AI! Don't limit iNOvaTIoN™©®; full speed ahead!
