Docket:

1. (Aftermath) 1666: Amsterdam uses so much GenAI they've essentially forgot which are AI assets

2. Twitch now uses your channel to train generative AI by default. You can opt out of some training

   • It's on by default because if it was opt In nobody would opt in

   • Twitch isn't sure whether Amazon has used Twitch creator VODs prior to today to train its AI models. ︀︀The opt-out will apply to your previous and future content, so it will not be used to train future models.

3. Saber Interactive has denied renewed claims that it replaced a former Lead Writer so it could "use ChatGPT" in the development of the recently announced title, Rideshare "Stimulator." In a statement to PC Gamer, Saber also acknowledged previously undisclosed genAI use elsewhere in the title.

   • this CEO comment is how you know with 1000% certainty Stella is right

   • Hey everybody. I've seen the statement by Matt Karch, the CEO of Saber Entertainment, and all of the truly horrendous things he said about me. I think it should be obvious to anyone who reads that statement that he's lashing out because he did not want people to know there was AI use in the game.

1. Invincible VS Developer Reportedly Laid Off "Something Like 75%" of Staff

2. Tokon got cracked in less than 2 weeks and not only does it run better than the retail version, it also works on Linux. What was even the point of Sony shooting itself in the foot with all of that DRM?

   • Not entirely so it turns out you can terminate the Playstation SDK in task manager and the game and online will still work you just won't be able to matchmake against PS players. So the PSN login BS is just for crossplay nothing else

   • Retail version of the game is encrypted and decrypts the game in real time in 64kb chunks on 1 CPU core.
