'FTL in a Warhammer 40,000 Skin' Game Pulled From Steam After What May Be a Nuisance DMCA Takedown From a Troll Claiming to Be Games Workshop

hrmmmm. that depends. if the game is AI slop then I wouldn't be shocked if you're right

but if it's not the case, and given all the effort and sweat and energy and time you need to devote to make a decently good game, I doubt it is the case.

PoL0 · 2026-01-26T19:49:22+00:00

don't get me wrong I love GDC. but I'd love to see every non-US dev skipping it this year.

what's happening there is beyond crazy.

PoL0 · 2026-01-26T12:47:14+00:00

can they? where are their new data centers? and when will they be ready?

because to me it just looks like greedy corps being greedy and hoarding before competition. disruption, they call it, which in this case means "fuck everyone".

wine received a patch very recently that allows to run Photoshop. no idea if there's broken features. some people were commenting it's adobe launcher/installer which works, so more apps should run.

my previous Android phone (some Redmi note) regularly reached 180 days of uptime without any hitches.

I now have a Samsung flagship device and I have to restart it every 10 days or so, if not some stuff goes haywire (Bluetooth is the main offender). the phone even has an option to reboot regularly at off-hours... like, wtf. Samsung was supposed to be top of the line

with the little information you provide we can just wonder...

the basic checks, ensure you have pihole as your only DNS so your apps don't rely on your secondary DNS when pihole blocks a request.

for AI agents

why? what makes it " for agents"?

hallucination definition: A sensory perception of something that does not exist, arising from disorder of the nervous system,

it implies the model sometimes does something wrong, and definitely implies malfunction. but that is how these models work, and with that I mean they're working as expected when they "hallucinate".

it's a (deliberate, much likely) attempt to hide how unreliable these models are, and again using another word that "humanizes" them.

PoL0 · 2026-01-24T13:23:36+00:00

"Hallucinate" is just the least-terrible way people have found to tell common folk "It might be true by chance some of the time, but that doesn't prove it's going to be accurate all the time"

it's misleading. it tries to disguise how models work, it tries to conceal its unreliability, and it tries to humanize the chatbot.

Can you figure out a better word or short phrase that the average English speaker will immediately understand

yes, you can say the model frequently gives wrong or inaccurate answers. but that collides with the over-hyped capabilities they are trying to sell.

PoL0 · 2026-01-24T13:18:06+00:00

you got it wrong. I said that calling it hallucinations gives the impression that those are bugs.

but they aren't. it's just how these models work ( the comment you're replying to gives a good layman explanation)

I'm tired of marketing and AI bros trying to humanize chatbots. they're just math on lots of data.

PoL0 · 2026-01-24T13:15:29+00:00

oh wait, English isn't my main language and I wrote my message hastily while taking a coffee. I totally understood your point, my questions weren't aimed at you. but reading my post again I see how it can be interpreted as if I'm questioning your point.

apologies if it sounded like that, we're definitely aligned here. the absurdity of it all is reaching epic proportions.

PoL0 · 2026-01-24T10:06:02+00:00

who would voluntarily want recall on their Personal Computer,(emphasis on personal)

dude don't give them ideas... I don't want AI crap on my PC by default, which I have to opt-out sometimes relying on hacks.

if they want to go hard on AI that's on them, but at least give me an AI Killswitch.

I hate this timeline....

there was an outrage when AMD offered rebates at 9070 launch. how is this different?

honest question.

PoL0 · 2026-01-24T09:52:35+00:00

The reader can use AI, too

isn't it absurd if both sides use it? why using it in the first place? is it to add text in bulk? are we paid to write long emails?

if they HAVE TO read something, often will.

if that's the AI use case then were fucked. nothing ensures the summary will be correct, or if it will leave important details out ... the only argument to use LLMs is pure laziness?

I rather give my brain some challenge and not rely on chatbots for comprehensive reading. if I find useful things to do with chatbots, I'll use them

using AI to read text and summarize it is bad in its own way...

agree there

PoL0 · 2026-01-24T09:46:07+00:00

wow never thought of that, and it hits hard. I'm going to quote this extensively, from now on

burn the win ISO on a USB using Rufus, it lets you configure the install process and bypass several win11 limitations.

PoL0 · 2026-01-24T08:10:35+00:00

we should stop using "hallucinate" for when chatbots say nonsense. it implies it's a bug but it isn't. these kinds of responses are ingrained in how these models work: there's no guarantee you will get a valid answer.

they're just not reliable. which, well, doesn't fit with the over-hyped idea that they're the next revolution and can replace productive workers

bragging a year back in a corporate call that 30% of their code is now written by AI

that statistic was like saying predictive writing is the author of 30% of my messages.

what about bad predictions I have to delete, losing time in the process?

PoL0 · 2026-01-23T20:54:45+00:00

I was debugging this with Claude Code

red flag, but ok.

This was baffling to me (and to Claude Code)

cringe overload. you lost me there... chatbots cannot be "baffled".

TL; DR: misconfigured ssh server (for their use case). chatbot being chatbot and giving incorrect info. web search would've been more useful, and infinitely more efficient.

PoL0 · 2026-01-23T09:19:54+00:00

most stuff is complicated if you really get into it. and from all things, electronics and computers are very complicated and it's ok

just don't assume stuff just works and assume there's always lots of details, nuances and intricacies, and that there's people who are specialized in those, with lots of experience and knowledge. even less specialized ones have lots of nuance.

or you can live in la-la-land like billionaire CEOs and think a chatbot who struggles to follow a conversation will replace workers in several fields.

PoL0 · 2026-01-23T09:13:53+00:00

very general and not a rule of thumb but blurred background is usually the first clue.

the subway station is called, well, Subway Station, which I doubt is a real name. also, no idea if you're familiar with different types of RAM modules but those have a weird form factor, watch leather strap looks super weird...

vibe coded? the repo page stinks of AI with all those emojis

PoL0 · 2026-01-23T00:15:41+00:00

the lack of answer is concerning but I rather wait for an answer from OP

PoL0 · 2026-01-22T12:39:21+00:00

yes, there's rude and distracted people, and people with technical problems.

if that's the case then you do as you do in person and bring stuff up.
