Talk to them, without a computer or device as an intermediary. You’ll find out quickly… as they often will have relegated the bulk of their thinking to LLMs.
We have .local don’t we?

AI slop. There are many tell-tale signs that chatgpt or claude was being used. It’s very difficult to read, as it regurgitates the same thing over and over.
To me, “AI” in their branding means data mining, collection and privacy violation.

This app is my daily driver! Love it, and hope the dev continues the good work.

It might be quietly bold in a world of stunning declarations.

No…, you are.

Do you have a source for this ?
Drive it down so they can buy more equity?

I just had an unsettling thought… those with access to Mythos/Fable finding these flaws — how many might be holding back and keeping some of these exploits in their back pocket?
And before that: "The book originated as a short story of the same name, published in the August 1977 issue of Analog Science Fiction and Fact."[1]

“React components”.. I stopped there.
Sure did.. it’s called Ender’s Game (Orson Scott Card).
Complaints in this thread, yet no one will boycott Nintendo for doing this. Ultimately, they allowed this data to be collected and then sold.

Before long, we'll be having Claude Cylon-class models.

but the major game studio don’t want you to mod, they want to sell you the same game over and over again.
Re:I am giving up on VM Gaming on Sunday June 07, 2026 @07:43AM (#48433901)
Honestly, the future is probably going to be something like Amazon Luna, where you don’t run the game locally. Cloud streaming is going to be the norm unless we start pushing back.

Doing the lord’s work, advancing the human race forward.
What's wrong with the government taking over admin of DigiD? I just don't understand why the government won't consider funding it. It's a public infrastructure service at this point.
I think the controller interfaces for FFXIV is worth a study in this. They designed an interface that is workable for an MMORPG with both mouse and controller (in this case, the controller can act as a proxy for our keyboard).

Dead internet theory gaining more credibility with every passing day.
The cynic in me says Meta is culling the herd.

I get notifications that an item has added itself to your login items.
Needs the sound! Otherwise, even other Dutch people will look crazy at you. :)
I don't know. I know some older Dutch folks are more handsy, but the young'ins? Nah. The new generation of Dutch are less so.
People don't love AI mode. It's just the only way to get good results on Google anymore.

> Violent crime against children has fallen steadily since the early 1990s. Stranger abductions, the thing every parent imagines when they hesitate to let a 10-year-old walk to a friend’s house, were rare in 1985 and are rarer today.

Well, we stopped letting kids wander -- certainly that has an impact on the statistics.

Re:Phantasy Star IV – 1993 Developer Interviews on Tuesday May 26, 2026 @07:08AM (#48278075)
Oops. Yea. It works great as your first game. I recommend PSIV->PSII->PSIII and maybe skip the original unless you're really into it. It's quite outdated.
Re:Phantasy Star IV – 1993 Developer Interviews on Tuesday May 26, 2026 @06:49AM (#48277893)
Not sure if it was on PS (except as part of the Sega Collection disc), but I played it on the Sega Genesis. Loved it.

Wonder if the site dev was thinking of the astronaut pointing a gun at another astronaut meme when they put this in.
