It’s the good old copyright Mexican standoff. If it is ruled that decompilations are illegal, that shoots freedom in the foot, and even legal clean-room decomps can be taken out, but also ai models could be much more copyright restricted. It’s both a win and a loss for everyone, as tightening the copyright noose is exactly what companies want, so they have a lot more ammo to shoot at foss projects and competition with.

The other way is that this is considered fair use, as the ai is not verbatim recreating code, it’s recreating its own interpretation of the code, which is a flying spaghetti monster that only looks somewhat like the real thing only if you don’t open the hood. This, of course, opens the door to being able to use ai models to break down things legally, a win for decompilation, a win for security researchers, but also a big L as well, as now obscuring code behind closed source is not good enough.

In either case, hackers and do-bads will run their own models and decompile things faster to find flaws and break stuff. Making it illegal doesn’t stop determined badders from doing it. Pandora’s box is already open, there is no undoing this without society as a whole getting washed away.

I know it will be a buggy mess by lieu of being rushed, but I am giving the benefit of the doubt here, if they can pull it off, cool, if not, meh. Not like I’m interested in the game to begin with.

Good luck, Epic… if the game is a buggy, broken mess, that’s on you.

Oh, no, she’s almost thawed out already!

This. As much as I want LibreOffice to succeed (AND I WANT LIBREOFFICE TO SUCCEED SO SIT DOWN YOU IN THE BACK), having converted actual work projects over to LibO and maintain them has been hell, to say the least.

2026 and tables and text boxes still explode the document into confetti if you look at it funny. Hours of frustratingly reconstructing documents, or reloading progress saves because moving a text box one pixel over makes things explode.

LibO needs QA and maintenance fixes, badly. If you don’t want LibO to use AI models to bug hunt, then enlist and help fix it. Development in turning LibO from a messy desk project to something actually useable efficiently has taken literal decades already.

Exactly… the difference in energy use is like driving a Ranger vs. an F-650. Sure, the big chungus models are a lot smarter, but it’s diminishing returns on energy use to capability. Cutting out the fluff and using a much, much smaller and lighter model that is tuned for the task you are using it for is a lot more efficient, and people with macbooks or gaming computers can run a model on their computer instead of subbing to a cloud service.

Lmao they’re learning

We’re talking about Unity here… the does-everything game engine platform that already removes the skillset of making your own, optimized game engine for a lego set of spaghetti code bricks. What’s an ai model on top of that?

Surely this won’t go wrong at all

This… this is the reasonable course that’s shunned by our divisive culture nowadays. I personally don’t have the time or the space, but I do have a computer, so I use what tools I have. Local models ftw

This. Yes, it’s Unlimited* on 5G, but often you have to be on UWB 5G, which you aren’t getting unless you’re in the city or in a dense urban area that has a UWB tower close by… If you’re in the sticks, you’re getting the 700mhz band 5G, which is only double the speed of 4G on the same fre, and has different bandwidth rules because it has much less bandwidth available, which is shared by everybody on that tower, and when it gets busy, there is network contention.

Always get Winrar when it’s available

It’s nice to get internet that isn’t awful… But other than Fiber, mobile internet always comes with that one elephant in the room… The data cap. “Here is your monthly data, sir” served in a shot glass.

Sucks to be in the sticks. Nobody wants to run internet out to you, and the only good satellite provider is … Yeah.

Oh, that’s not good

I mean, game modding where you put x game’s y asset in z game is 99 percent plagerism and copyright infringement to begin with, regardless of how you do it. Unless you make something wholly original, you’re technically illegal, and even then, in the USA, there’s the DMCA, where breaking, bypassing, or reverse engineering any encryption is itself illegal.

If it has Steven Hawking voice, I can hear the chaos in traffic

Yar har lmao

Explains a lot about how/why Grok leans the way it does

Virt-manager for a gui, qemu-kvm and libvirtd for the hypervisor. You will need to pass thru a graphics card, which makes it unavailable for the host machine entirely. I use debian stable for the vm, no gui, just ssh to manage it.
