Are there “ethical” models for people who believe the mechanization of creativity is an attack on human dignity?

No one driving a car today was alive when the gasoline powered car was invented, and none of the people who were were able to anticipate the terrible consequences of mass adoption of the technology.
The people driving cars today are doing so because they were born into a society that had already completely reorganized itself around cars, and that all but requires the ownership of a car to participate in that society. Meanwhile EVs have been prohibitively expensive to own for the majority of people (although that’s finally changing) and so most people who wanted an alternative did not have one available.
Contrast that situation with AI where the terrible consequences are immediately obvious, cheap alternatives already exist and have for centuries, and the “benefits” of using AI are only marginal at best and only in some niche circumstances.
there are abandoned tech certs for building datacenters that produce 110% of their own electricity.
Do you have any sources for this I could read?
Just don’t ask him about age of consent…

I use Claude every day for work. I’m not touching this project with a ten foot rifle spear.
I think they’ve really underestimated just how little consumers care about IP when the product attached to it is trash.
20 years ago, Halo was one of the most beloved gaming IPs. Now, after a decade of garbage, hardly anyone gives a shit about it.
I’m sure Bungie would be happy to have the work, given their current catalog…
The last thing I wanna see is Call of Duty: Spartan Ops or whatever the fuck, but let’s not pretend that 343/Halo Studios are any better. Their stewardship of the Halo franchise has been an unmitigated disaster from the start.
“We’re sorry and we’re listening” has basically been Bungie’s motto for the entire post-Halo era.
Not saying they can’t pull off a comeback, but Jesus Christ… this is like the sixth or seventh time they’ve had to make an announcement like this. Somebody break the fucking cycle already…
ETA: I’ll be curious to see if they shoot themselves in the dick again by charging players to regain access to the vaulted content.

I’m not a lawyer, but does habeas corpus not apply in cases like this…?
AI or not, I refuse to believe anyone is capable of being the sole maintainer of 100+ anything while preserving any kind of quality. Most of these packages were probably functionally abandoned already, if not technically.
And then on the same fucking day it released, Microsoft laid off half the studio… so that will definitely help them avoid this in the future. /s
It doesn’t matter who stupid the arguments are. All that matters is how stupid the judges are, and it is not difficult to find a stupid judge these days.
Scofield’s approach to gaming over the last decade or so was basically “the more money we spend, the better the game will be” so it’s really no surprise he supports the most wasteful technology in the history of computing.

You tell on yourself right in the post title, man… Fable 5 is Anthropic’s latest AI model.
Why are games being submitted for ratings before they’ve even been announced? I thought that was something that happened very late in the process…
As far as I can tell, this is just a (defunct) set of standards and practices for companies to follow if they want to be environmentally friendly. It doesn’t speak at all to the engineering and economic problem of how to build megawatt-scale data centers that produce more energy than they consume.
