"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

See this is where I'm like. For $9,000, you could have just purchased a Switch and a legit copy of OOT. Heck, you could get a vintage N64, old cart, and a CRT TV for less. What is this kid doon??

Becoming famous and feeling cool for the first time in his short life. Whether that will br a fun memory in retrospect is yet to be seen.

You can grab it off minerva and play it in an emulator pretty easily, which is the second most authentic way to experience it in my opinion. The first is of course on original hardware. I'm not sure what the point of a slop PC port is and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.

The port is of the new remake, which can be run on an emulator, but is more demanding than a native port.

Spending people's money for clout.

Showing the capitalists that we can and will use their tools against them.

Reverse engineering and porting software to other platforms is legal and should be encouraged, not shat upon. It only takes one person to port it and then everyone can reap the benefits.

Why should we make and buy more hardware that will end up in ewaste when we have perfectly good hardware already? Why can't we install whatever software we like on devices that we supposedly own?

They aren't shitting on them for reverse engineering and porting software

They are shitting on them for spending 9k on AI to half-ass it for them.
