And you can absolutely trust that tons of executives will definitely not understand this distinction and will use AI even in areas where it's actively harmful.

Agreed. I keep waffling on my feelings about it. It definitely doesn't feel like our laws properly handle the scale that LLMs can take advantage of 'fair use'. It also feels like yet another way to centralize and consolidate wealth, this time not money, but rather art and literary wealth in the hands of a few.
I already see artists that used to get commissions now replaced by endless AI pictures generated via a Lora specifically aping their style. If it was a human copying you, they'd still be limited by the amount they could produce. But an AI can spit out millions of images all in the style you perfected. Which feels wrong.
Google says no, you don't need one.
Also no golden parachute to pay out
Feasible for a non-profit however
My introduction was the old Call to Power game. Still waiting for a Civ-like game that has a near-future age of gameplay. That was always the coolest part to me.
Feels like most of the similar games today are either historical/current or purely scifi. I like the transition point. To play out possible ways of advancing forward. How do we get from today to entering the stars? Those were fun scenarios to play out.
There's a couple of mods for civ that covers this I know, but they're all abandoned and somewhat buggy these days. Plus this sort of thing works best if the game is balanced around it to begin with.
Things I need a storefront/launcher to provide me:
- Reviews
- Wish list
- Beta/Alternate build installations
- Friend list, chat, game invite functions
- Mod browser
- Refund policy
- Excellent search and discovery tools
Nice to have:
- Forum for guides/support
- Game sharing
- Ability to move game files
If all you want is to launch a game, why keep the 'launcher' at all? Games used to just... start. No separate program needed.
I don't actively use it, but I don't see the point in deleting my account? My HOA is only on a Facebook group, so it's the only place I can go to check for updates on some stuff (typically trash day getting moved, neighborhood pool stuff, etc). That's the only use. My understanding is that Facebook tracks me even without an account so doesn't really seem like I'm gaining anything other than good feelings by deleting my account.
It's not like I've gone out of my way to delete my old Myspace or xanga accounts either, I just stop using them.
Famously the music for that famous 'you wouldn't download a car' anti piracy disclaimer was stolen and used without permission from the creator.
Some ideas are so bad you make sure they never get released
Every single small game I play has effectively the entirety of their support, community and forums run through discord. Instead of easy to search and discover forums, I have to use crappy infinite chat logs. It sucks.
