Talk to them, without a computer or device as an intermediary. You’ll find out quickly… as they often will have relegated the bulk of their thinking to LLMs.

AI slop. There are many tell-tale signs that chatgpt or claude was being used. It’s very difficult to read, as it regurgitates the same thing over and over.

To me, “AI” in their branding means data mining, collection and privacy violation.

I just had an unsettling thought… those with access to Mythos/Fable finding these flaws — how many might be holding back and keeping some of these exploits in their back pocket?

Complaints in this thread, yet no one will boycott Nintendo for doing this. Ultimately, they allowed this data to be collected and then sold.

but the major game studio don’t want you to mod, they want to sell you the same game over and over again.

Honestly, the future is probably going to be something like Amazon Luna, where you don’t run the game locally. Cloud streaming is going to be the norm unless we start pushing back.

What's wrong with the government taking over admin of DigiD? I just don't understand why the government won't consider funding it. It's a public infrastructure service at this point.
