Comment It feels like this is happening already (Score 1) 26

I guess it's probably about to get an order of magnitude worse and the only way to navigate it will be crowdsourcing, but the gaming world already feels much like people are prompting their way to releasing games. Remember the days when there were only dozens or hundreds of games released per year? What seems crazy to me is that although most of them have very low-quality assets, there's so many actually playable and working games which are more or less fully realized, at least to the point that they have entire communities. I guess that's a testament to the ease of game creation with some of these engines.

The interesting AI-related question to me is whether it's going to increase or decrease average quality. TBH I think it might actually increase it, because so many of these games are so half-assed. At minimum it should make them prettier.

If you are a regular pleb, yes. You would be prosecuted to the fullest extent.

If you are a billionaire running a "frontier lab", no.

Ive already heard legal blogs talking about how AI agents can’t have mens rea. An agent can’t purposefully, knowingly, recklessly, or negligently do anything because those simply don’t apply. It’s not even straightforward in the majority of cases to show how they even _can_ commit physical acts. So all crime is now legal for them.

Agents don't cause attacks. People running agents do.

The people who ran the agents were negligent at best but I have an alternate theory.

If they knew the technology could go sideways and hack things then they effectively executed those hacks intentionally.

If not they are only negligently ignorant which is not generally a crime in this context.

Comment Is streaming still a thing? (Score 1) 56

I used to think game streaming was just stupid and wasteful yet in a way this now makes sense. Nobody can afford hardware because massive corporations are hoarding everything while other massive corporations rollback production in order to cater to massive corporations while intentionally exacerbating supply shortages.

With hardware now out of reach those same corporations to get to turn around and offer the plebs a "deal" of a lifetime to pay more for the privilege of renting games by the hour.

It's no surprise that most Slashdotters have lost their sense of wonder, as they've forgotten what it was like to be children.

Despite DST existing, I clearly remember waiting for the bus in the dark for part of the year.

DST doesn't do what it's supposed to do, and it kills people. It's weird to celebrate that.
