It's difficult to remember and capture the context of the time period when something released which means people think that Portal 2's humour is born from Reddit, as opposed to reddits humour being born from portal 2
Given that Unity has had LLM generated code in it since at least 2023, are the group of IGF jurors declining to vote for Big Walk also going to decline to vote for all Unity games going forward?
The Underreported part of the Big Walk drama is that an apathetic or incompetent (or both) Unity employee told the devs that something wasn't possible, when it clearly was, which is a very Unity in 2026 thing to happen.
And like.. this isn't to say there aren't other 'lines' that are more permissive that don't make sense. There most certainly are. But they're less puritanical/absolutist, and thus don't fit into tweet length argumentation well.
In all honesty if we're going to run with purity tests for LLM usage in game software, that includes 'any use at all of llm code gen', you're going to just have to ban anything using Unreal/Unity versions from 2023 onward. I don't think anything else is ideologically coherent.
Which is like.. ok fine, that's a line in the sand that makes sense. I don't think the line of 'you can license external software that used it by not use it yourself' makes any sense actually. This is fundamentally incoherent.
@heylookitsalan@kalin_t if memory served it tried to basically calculate the 'base hot dog pressure' of a universe made of hot dogs, that would then be attenuated by the aperture, to calculate the incoming hot dog rate.

- Had Photoshop installed on my computer
- Asked ChatGPT at 2:35am while incredibly high what would happen if a one foot portal to another dimension made entirely of hot dogs opened and hot dogs came pouring through endlessly how long would it take to kill us all
AI Disclosure:
Asked ChatGPT if I should be concerned about this rash on the right side of my ass cheek from sitting in this chair for too long while working on the game for 2 years I keep meaning to buy new underwear but executive dysfunction collapse means I'm too fing tired to
The current Big Walk hoopla points to how untenable this all is. Given how much of the Adobe Suite tooling is LLM powered, there's likely many indie game artists who aren't technically literate enough to even know they're using an LLM-powered thing. Or stocks assets made w it.
