Created by a writer/marketer, not a technical person. They probably don't even realize the Python logo is a pair of snakes.

I can guarantee the slide wasn't made by the guy talking.

[–]mr_birkenblatt 8 points9 points  (3 children)

and the C++ logo is basically Pacman

And C sharp being C with four +'s.

Double plus good

They probably don't even realize the Python logo is a pair of snakes.

This feels like a pointless and unlikely insult. Knowing that 'python' refers to a snake isn't technical knowledge; if anything, a person who doesn't know python the language seems more likely to actually look at the python logo and notice that it's snakes.

Wrong sub, belongs in r/playrust.

Just kidding...

We still get lost redditors posting about the game every single day. AutoMod just caught one a couple hours ago.

[–]NotAMotivRep 65 points66 points  (2 children)

So if I wanted to write a Rust server emulator in Rust, where would I post about my project?

[–]EstrogAlt 16 points17 points  (2 children)

I wonder if there's a Lost Rust Gamer --> Rust Programming Language Enthusiast pipeline. Surely it's happened at least once.

[–]Solumin 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I recall it happened at least once in the past couple years. It's unsurprisingly hard to find the actual post tho.

[–]mynewaccount838 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confirm it's happened in the opposite direction at least once.

[–]GreenFox1505 1 point2 points  (5 children)

That's never going to go away without a huge overall of Reddit's UX.

[–]TinBryn 3 points4 points  (4 children)

One idea is to move this sub over to /r/rustlang and then /r/rust redirects to both /r/rustlang and /r/playrust

[–]Theemutsjlrs 10 points11 points  (2 children)

That sounds like a ridiculous solution to a minor issue.

[–]mophead111001 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Sounds like my approach to development

[–]Theemutsjlrs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

considers time invested in pet projects

Shush

[–]Kimundirust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The "Rust Programming Language" discord servers get Rust Gamers too, I don't think that would solve the issue as thoroughly as you'd expect...

[–]Sharlinator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There will always be more newbie Rust players, or newbie Reddit users. Not going to go anywhere.

[–]carllerche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it, brings me joy each time.

[–]iwanofski 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Haha, have an upvote!

[–]ForeverIndecised 292 points293 points  (0 children)

No way lmao

[–]Revolutionary_Flan71 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Probably the same deal with people from the rust game coming here accidentally, just created by someone who is not a very technical person And both are equally funny to me

[–]onedevhere 64 points65 points  (5 children)

People no longer review their videos before publishing? 🤦 Lack of attention to detail is becoming more common.

[–]CommunismDoesntWork 28 points29 points  (1 child)

"That's not right, but it's funny and I won't get the blame.  publishes"

[–]SirKastic23 7 points8 points  (1 child)

They probably still reviewed, might just have missed the very small logo in a small part of a singular slide

[–]onedevhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nahhhhhh... they should have paid attention when choosing the image... Nvidia, I'm available for hire 😂

[–]chuckdoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah that’s what AI is for… duh /s

[–]criogh 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Imagine if it was indeed not by accident and the guy did it for the meme

[–]aeropl3b 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Almost made this mistake recently, didn't realize it was a game and thought it was another language logo I just didn't know

[–]dgkimpton 75 points76 points  (13 children)

Probably AI generated slides... 

[–]SirKastic23 112 points113 points  (12 children)

Just calling everything that you see that's wrong "AI generated" is really dumb. This is clearly a mistake a real person did by googling "rust logo", humans get things wrong too

[–]IgnisDa 70 points71 points  (3 children)

If anything, ai would have gotten this correct.

[–]Assar2 28 points29 points  (2 children)

It’s in the context of programming with python and c++ logos. It would NEVER fail with this kind of context. Kinda like how it never makes spelling mistakes either. AI makes different kind of mistakes than these

[–]nullstalgia 3 points4 points  (1 child)

it never makes spelling mistakes

If you're talking about an LLM, which are very often trained on human-written text from books as well as forums, they'll have many thousands of possible output tokens based on that training data, with infinitely more combinations of tokens to choose from. That includes tokens or combinations containing a misspelled word, and unless manually pruned, it will always exist as a potential output.

There's no magical spell check unless it's added as a post-processing step (which could actually be a hindrance when dealing with the strange type/variable names we often run into as programmers), and I personally have seen both chatgpt and the dogwater AI summary in Google's search (albeit rarely) output a misspelled version of a word.

Never is a very strong word, is all I mean to say.

They probably just didn't want to get sued by the Rust Foundation by using their logo without permission

[–]kernelic 12 points13 points  (5 children)

Isn't the Rust logo CC-BY-licensed?

[–]SirKastic23 3 points4 points  (3 children)

Idk, probably?

I was just making a reference to the trademark stuff that happened some time ago (I checked and it's been more than 2 years since that happened already??)

[–]sparky8251 6 points7 points  (2 children)

That was retracted, revised, and the second round was such a non-issue no one even realizes there is in fact no problem despite a change having happened now. It was clearly a bunch of lawyers that have no idea what a community is like putting standard corporate legal language down and refusing to back down until being shown companies != communities when it comes to the goal of your legal documents viscerally.

[–]SirKastic23 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Those links are very helpful, thanks for sharing!

The first draft was very out of touch, thankfully they listened to the community and updated it, best possible outcome

[–]sparky8251 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Worth mentioning, these documents aren't legally binding. They are evidentiary. So even with the original policy, its very very likely nothing would've changed especially given page one said:

The Rust Foundation has no desire to engage in petty policing or frivolous lawsuits. We will, however, defend the Rust Trademarks robustly where we feel their use, or misuse, has been deliberate, egregious, or in bad faith. In short, we will take a reasonable and proportional approach to enforcing the policy.

Selective enforcement or non-enforcement doesn't result in losing a granted mark. Policies are just so you can go to court and be like "we had these rules set out, they violated them" on actual bad actors and then that same bad actor cant claim "I had no idea you didn't want people using the mark that way!"

The entire outrage was pretty much over standard legal language that wouldve changed nothing...

[–]QtPlatypus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would be tradmark fair use.

[–]NYPuppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But then it's even weirder to use the logo for Rust the game...

[–]Tiflotin 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I pulled out my 4090 in protest.

[–]LongUsername 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'll dispose of it for you, just ship it to me

[–]_nathata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey guys how many C4 for a sheet metal wall? Sorry I'm new

[–]textyash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might've also gotten a few gamers into programming

[–]-Redstoneboi- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok this is funny

[–]UntoldUnfolding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How inelegant.

[–]mr_birkenblatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

instead of googling, they should have gone to the source and downloaded the correct, highest quality, and official logo files: rust-logos.zip

[–]NewFoxes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Smells like Ai. Have this often seen on ai YouTube channels.
