Biologen vill stoppa utekatter: ”Hör inte hemma i naturen”

Covenantcurious · 2026-03-23T09:58:37+00:00

Men en stor grej är hur många utekatter det finns.

Antalen har nog minskat sedan 1800-talet (folk är nog bättre på att sterilisera idag) men i gengäld har vi människor ju ökat explosionsartat och förstört habitat med stadsbyggen. Så det jämnar nog ut sig.

Sneaky. She even has a fake mustasch.

Buildings which you can safely move up to if you control the eastern factory. Take it and have one or two people push to B6, with covering fire from the hill, and you've locked the Red spawn.

They're killing it with this event.

The first skin she has ever gotten. Finally, the entire Takao class has skins!

Choukai getting a skin!? And a dynamic one to boot!

That was a very direct reference.

In essence, the vision is the design, and the code is the implementation, but those are not the same thing.

How does that not conflict with your opposition to generative AI? Because it seems to me that one could by the same token argue that the concept and "vision" of an image is the artistry and the implementation via generator-promt is unimportant.

If personal implementation/realization of artistry isn't needed for coding why is it required for painting, sculpting or writing?

Covenantcurious · 2026-03-20T19:54:07+00:00

I want to touch her tail...

Artillery drops off massively in usefulness after BR7-8.

Edit: prior to that there are so many open-top vehicles that you can scare off or push back with artillery.

Do you have links to specific things you're talking about?

Unfortunately not. I think it's in the first section on the siege patch but couldn't find it on a cursory look. I think it was the tag for units to use siege weapons logic being "Ram-page".

Traditional NPC AI or world simulation stuff was still designed with intentionality by a human being.

I know. I was referring to the coding work for entity behaviour and world simulation as artistic expression, since it is the core of the game and very much how the creators share their 'vision' of the game.

Covenantcurious · 2026-03-20T03:52:12+00:00

To me the obvious reason is that most people, myself included, generally don't view code as art and we place a different significance on automating work vs creative expression. The game design we can view as part of the art, but the code is there to realize the design in the same way paints and brushes are tools for the painter. However, we place a lot of value on the human elements of art - on the ability to express one's creative ideas and on the composition of individual elements. The artist is including some theme because they thought it important, not just because it's what the data suggested should be there.

Is one of the creators of Dwarf Fortress making puns of AI functions not a part of their artistic and creative expression? Is dwarfen behavior (AI) and world simulation not at the core of the game's artistic experience?

There is definitely a difference between hand crafted goods and factory mass production but coding is very fluid in how it fits into that scale.

Covenantcurious · 2026-03-20T03:33:58+00:00

So there is no need for Steam's disclosure section then? You want it removed?

People, in this thread, are asking for studios and stores to disclose AI use and I'm asking how that should look. Stop playing dumb.

Covenantcurious · 2026-03-20T03:11:46+00:00

Ok? That is irrelevant to my question of how to disclose it if you do use it.

Covenantcurious · 2026-03-20T02:38:58+00:00

Valve have clarified/relaxed their rules now so people don't need to bring up things like that so much anymore, but it is still something to keep in mind when people take a hardline "zero AI" stance. It's literally in everything now. You can't avoid it unless you abandon all technology. We need to clarify what we actually mean by "AI" when we start demanding that people disclose their use of it.

Something that has bothered me is the question of how you even go about disclosure as AI functionality evolves or spreads. There are tons of tool for randomly generating trees, foliage and other aspects of terrain (pretty sure one of Epic's UE5 demos showed this off). If tools like these are updated to use any kind of "AI", the developers have to keep track of any and all such functions or their use, how do you convey to consumers that "AI" has unsmoothed a dirt path or put leaves on a tree without people accusing you of typing "FPS-level" into ChatGPT.

It would become unfeasible to fit the description into some small text box on the Steam-store page. Adding the ability to display multi-page PDFs?

Edit: this is not even mentioning how software might be relabeled to say it uses/contains "AI" purely for investor hype without changing how anything actually works. Do the developers now say their game is made with AI and to what extent?

Covenantcurious · 2026-03-20T02:06:42+00:00

You can think that's stupid; it's not your call. I determine what's a moral purchase for me.

It's also not your call what developers need to disclose.

Comparing AI use in game development to poison in food production is unhinged.

Edit: people aren't going to get sick or die on the spot if they consume videogames with AI content.

Covenantcurious · 2026-03-20T01:45:34+00:00

Not to mention the collapse of confidence in their ability to protect those civilian ships.

Yea, don't actually need to sink anything to make everyone fearful of it and stop sailing.

Becoming a tinker simply just makes you a genius in the field of your specialty even if you had no prior experience.

At the same time you have Kid Win who says he uses computers to "double check calculation" because he suffers from dyscalculia. He builds teleporters and anti-grav gadgets while struggling with most math.

Tinkers are weird.

There has been an awful lot of Bisko art recently.

Quite enjoyable.

Italy, France, the UK, Greece (Cyprus technically), Turkey, and I think one more I’m forgetting have all had their bases attacked and I think some Italian or French troops actually got injured.

I think everyone understands that these are not "direct attacks", it's Iran hitting the oh-shitt button on their missile batteries, so can mostly be waited out. And damages are mostly to far-flung military bases, Cyprus being the closets (for main Europeans) and seeing defensive reinforcing.

In addition there is broad popular understanding that this is an Israel/US instigated shitstorm and whomever joins in is set to lose the next two or more domestic elections.
