This indie dev made a game where you control two characters at the same time.

- Control one character with your left hand
- Control another character with your right hand

Would you play this? It's called Ambidextro.

@CiloDraw El disclosure de Steam te dice específicamente que es para poner cosas que ve el usuario, y que el código no cuenta.

[Alva Majo @5ro4]

Is there a charitable interpretation on Big Walk team's stance on AI that doesn't come off as unapologetically hypocritical? What does it mean to not endorse your own AI usage, and to support the work of those who fight against that same usage?

[Alva Majo @5ro4]

@ProfessorSoyim I'm pro-AI. They are apparently not.

[Alva Majo @5ro4]

@TheKeyOfAnarkh Calling it sketchy behavious was going too far and assuming too much. It still seems weird that a team apparently (by their statement) so concerned about AI usage didn't think their ussage was worth mentioning, but it could be.

[Alva Majo @5ro4]

@TheKeyOfAnarkh Their sketchy behavior kindles the kind of witch hunt they are now suffering. If they think using a bit of AI for bugs they can't solve is OK, they shouldn't have hidden it until now. They knew people would be mad and choose not being transparent.

[Alva Majo @5ro4]

@EveTaylor376200 @TheKeyOfAnarkh They are against the normalization of AI usage, and witch hunting is partly the effect of people believing its usage is not that normalized. I concede that maybe they didn't realize this was worth disclossing, but their statement makes it seem like they did.

@zemereth @deadlyfiddler @jasbro1109 @TheKeyOfAnarkh If a company disclosed the use of child labor I wouldn't buy from it if I can avoid it. I don't think this is really related to the topic at hand.

[Alva Majo @5ro4]

@ScarletBlkflame I'm not pretenging anything, I use AI. I just don't say things like these while using AI:

[Alva Majo @5ro4]

@Fdz1R No han dicho que vivecodear un juego completo está mal, ese es el problema. Han dicho que no aprueban incluso el uso limitado de IA.

[Alva Majo @5ro4]

@TheKeyOfAnarkh That's fair. Most people would think it's a non-issue, so that a valid reason not to have said anything until now. Their statement makes it seems like they think it's an issue, though.

[Alva Majo @5ro4]

@deadlyfiddler @jasbro1109 @TheKeyOfAnarkh I think it's OK they used AI, but they were not transparent and they don't even endorse the use of AI, which is weird.

Also, they used it for more than 10 lines, that's just a specific example of how they used it.

[Alva Majo @5ro4]

@deadlyfiddler @jasbro1109 @TheKeyOfAnarkh If they thought AI is just a tool and they don't need to discuse it, it would be more defensible, but they specifically said they don't endorse even limited use of AI, so its extra damming.

[Alva Majo @5ro4]

@deadlyfiddler @jasbro1109 @TheKeyOfAnarkh They knew part of their public wouldn't buy the game if they discloses AI usage, so they didn't. They choose to hide their AI usage, and now that they have revealed it, there's backlash by users who feel betrayed.

[Alva Majo @5ro4]

@jasbro1109 @TheKeyOfAnarkh I'm not talking about Steam. They didn't mention it on their site, on twitter, on an interview, or anywhere, even though they knew a lot of people wouldn't buy it if they knew, and they still pretend to be against AI usage themselves.

[Alva Majo @5ro4]

@khozmos0107 @TheKeyOfAnarkh I agree, but the devs are being disingenuous, both using AI but pretending to be on the anti-AI side.

[Alva Majo @5ro4]

@theballsknower @TheKeyOfAnarkh "no im not owned you are 🫵😂😂😂"
- you after being owned

[Alva Majo @5ro4]

@theballsknower @TheKeyOfAnarkh I'm a game dev with 7 games released, currently working on a new one made with extensive use of Claude Code.

Take the L, retard.

[Alva Majo @5ro4]

@khozmos0107 @TheKeyOfAnarkh Its a fact that a lot of people object on ethical grounds to buy anything that used AI, which does not happen with the other things you mention. They deliberately let people think the game didn't use any AI, and even now they say they don't endorse its usage.

[Alva Majo @5ro4]

@theballsknower @TheKeyOfAnarkh I use AI, idiot, but unlike them, I don't hide it or say I don't endorse my own AI usage. If they think using a bit of AI is OK, they should say it clearly and help normalize it to shut up the weirdos. They are doing the opposite.

[Alva Majo @5ro4]

@_Zaspian @TJDetweile @theogramme_dev lmao
Iba a dejar pasar que seas tontísimo, pero decir que soy yo el que no tiene pensamiento lógico con la comprensión lectora que demuestras es demasiado.

[Alva Majo @5ro4]

@_Zaspian No te estás enterando de nada. Me parece bien que usen la IA para lo que quieran, pero están diciendo que, pese a haberla usado, no apoyan su uso incluso de forma limitada como han hecho ellos mismos.
