I guess part of the idea is that the main people who'd be upset by it are the ultranationalists who would see it as an attack on their identity as an American.

We can't rule out that he's genuinely unaware of what's in the bill in the first place , and is just listing things he yelled at an intern to put in the bill a week ago

You can if it's a wizard cat.

"But how did this character get from here to there so quick?"

Wizard Cat Teleportation.

"But how did they make that much money on a minimum wage job?"

Wizard Cat turns Dirt to Gold.

But how did- WIZARD. CAT.

I do think it just comes down to enforceability, it's just narrowing the policy to the assets they could actually reasonably act on.

I am getting what you mean though, that if it's gonna be an honour system anyway, no reason to cut down on what they could potentially enforce

Right, but it's harder to lie about graphical assets because players will see it and can in theory report it. I know likely that won't happen, but I'd think people would be less likely to lie about AI graphics if they know they're gonna show players a blatantly made by AI Asset

Electric Sheep on Steam Dredge the memories of an old Butler Robot to piece the past together and solve a Murder at a family home.

Guess I'll join in #WishlistWednesday

I'm making Electric Sheep, a neon detective narrative game like Return of The Obra Dinn or Her Story.

Dive through the corrupted memories of a destroyed Robot to tell the story of the family it served and solve a murder

I'm just thinking about the case that someone uses AI Code without declaring, Steam warns them on it, and they claim the code was in fact written by them. In that case, valve can either back down, insist it's AI with no real evidence, or have to invent a system of reviewing code, all options bad.

Right, but if you lie about using no AI for actual player-facing assets, then any player can do what happened to Expedition 33 and call it out.

From what I can see Steams main concern is Players are aware if they're gonna see any AI Content in a game, since that's harder to conceal

It becomes a bit more difficult with code, because how does an end user call out AI Code without decompiling the game and being familiar with programming in the same language as the game

04.03.2026 10:07 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

In fairness, I can see this being more of a case of enforceability. If it's visual and everyone can see the AI in the finished game, both players and steam can pretty easily call it out.

I'm aware lol, was just making a joke.

It is funny the amount of these games that have to try emulate the style of Retro games using an expensive shader that takes 50x the processing power than these consoles had

The creator of ChatGPT is named "Altman," as in "alternative to human" and he leads OpenAI, which is completely closed.

His main opponent is the company Anthropic, meaning "human-centered" is led by "Amodei," as in "loves gods".

Then there's "Gemini," meaning "two-faced," from a cmpany that says it will do no evil.

Brilliant work as always Kojima!

PSX? Sorry, we meant PS X, as in PlayStationℒ️ 10, as in, "You need hardware from the year 2050 to play this game"

I've unironically made systems like this a couple times for dialogue systems, to allow me to change the UI for the speaking person, or triggering an event at some point in the dialogue

Look, Bowser has been building ships for decades now, I think he knows a little more about building an aerodynamic ship than you do. I don't have 40 years of airship building experience, do you?

Largely alot of detective games. I like robotics and have wanted to make a Her Story/Obra Dinn style game for a while so it made sense as a plot device to be digging through digital memories

Hello, Caitlin here, Sandy’s wife.

It's with a very heavy heart that we share the news of YoYo Games founder and original CEO, Sandy Duncan's passing. GameMaker would not be where it is today without Sandy and our hearts are with his family at this very difficult time. Rest in peace.

Me, Infiltrating the AI Reddit site:

How do you do fellow AI Bots? Anybody have a few dozen gallons of water spare? Also look at this artwork I produced in 0.003ms, a completely reasonable time for an AI such as myself to spend on artwork.
