"Sloptracing" is my new favorite word to describe all this.

Imagine if Bethesda cared about improving their game as much as Hello Games does with No Man's Sky. We'd have a steady stream of free updates that actually make things fun to play.

"Antheas has since written up their own version of events"

I made the effort to all read that and regret it as a giant waste of time. Every organization has disagreements and conflicts, but this comes across as petty and unprofessional, full of unverifiable anecdotes and irrelevant gossip. Bazzite is smart to remove people like this as they become giant resource drains in the end.

Quoting: sarmadWhile I agree there is a lot of immorality in AI, avoiding it just puts you at a disadvantage since everyone is using it. So, you'll be harming yourself, not the unethical AI companies. The solution to the ethical dilemma should come from politicians, but they are unfortunately too corrupt to do the right thing.

"Everyone is doing it" is shallow reasoning that doesn't hold up to scrutiny. I'd argue that you're actively harming yourself when you choose to use GenAI because you've robbed yourself of learning something new. Then add in the harm you're causing to others in the industry you've denied an opportunity to contribute to and the harm inflicted toward those whose content was used without permission in the first place, and I think you have plenty of reasons to never use it regardless of what others are doing. Harming "unethical AI companies" is not the goal in the first place.

It's incredible how far things have come from the days when I was banging my head against the wall just trying to get Ultima Online to run correctly under Wine.
