<p>Kinda related, but I hate how the big studios go after old videogames and try to take them down. It looks like, in the future, this era will be called the "digital dark ages", not because all the stuff got lost to bitrot, but because all the stuff became illegal to own so that the studios could sell the new stuff again and again.</p>

<p>No, but it was bound to replace everything that Microsoft touches, by virtue of having its buttons everywhere displacing everything else.<p>Thanks to MS stopping, the next Word is just not a huge COPILOT button in the middle to who you have to chat to write your stuff.</p>

<p>Yay, more anti-censoring stuff.<p>Forbidding stuff at the LLM level has the same future as implementing password checking at the frontend level.<p>We need better sandboxes just to limit the damage.</p>

<p>> and you have no way of telling apart AI slop vs. good maintainable code. (If you could you would just train the AI.)<p>I know how to distinguish good maintainable code from garbage. I have known for quite a few years. But knowing how to train someone, or an AI? I'm a good coder, not necessarily a good teacher. And there are things about code that I _feel_, not that I can rationally explain.</p>
