Everyone's favorite reply-guy. Leftist, RPG fan, home cook, ADHD tolerator, Polaroid collector. Squirrel & Scampi's papa. He/him. These days I mostly ramble about video games.
In the last few weeks i've been bombarded with emails from people who have minor tech support problems. ChatGPT is telling them to email me, writing their emails, and compiling "evidence packets" after convincing them they have stumbled on a major story:

Vibe code? Me? No way! I've definitely been working by myself on this mod for years now! The fact that my UI is a carbon copy of every vibe-coded mod released in the past week for every game imaginable is just a coincidence!
We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps:
-It’s ‘sleight of hand’
-It’s ‘bated breath’
-It’s ‘lo and behold’
-It's 'buck naked'
-It’s ‘brass tacks’
-It’s ‘free rein’
-It’s ‘toe the line'
In their wildest dreams, genie out of the bottle, any wish you want kind of situation, liberals will never wish for anything more than "the lesser of two evils" and will shun you from society for suggesting we try to do more.
It turns out that choosing the lesser of two evils is, in fact, a moral imperative.
And some folks want to wait for the Revolutionary Perfect, but I would equally challenge them to demonstrate a single time where a 'start from nothing, year-0' revolution has turned out well for most people.

Consolidation is killing our industry. The Gamergaters who make money off the rage game will have you think this is a victory. This is purely a loss. A loss of work and art and fun and expression in a space that desperately needs it.
Massive fucking bummer.

Hello! I'm looking to speak to:
1. Devs involved in the decompilation scene who can speak to how the community has been affected by AI.
2. Devs who have or suspect they have had their game copied by AI vibe coders.
If either of those is you, contact me at rick@ricklane.co.uk. Shares appreciated!
the idea that empathy is dangerous has been permeating right-wing spaces for a while, but it's not an actual element of their ideology as much as it's a defense mechanism against confronting the reality of their cruelty
I'd have it run a fake social media account on a niche microblogging site where I'd have them pretend to be an attractive businessperson who posts psuedointellectual garbage musings all day to an audience of no one while trying to attract horny idiots so I can scam them.
You're not the chosen one. Every victory has to be earned. ⚔️
Choose your battles, prepare for the unexpected, and remember that there's strength in numbers.

Would this be cool from another more credible person or manufacturer? Maybe, but also it’s difficult to imagine any of them doing this because it’s an obvious waste of time for the sake of novelty. It fits the Musk pattern: his target audience is contemptible rubes that can be dazzled by tricks.
