My concern is the AI's were probably trained on code without respect to their licenses. So tagging the code is kind of important for legal purposes in case the landscape around it changes.

I personally don't use AI to generate code, but I might sometimes use it as a fuzzy search or use it for language or visual processing functions. Reason being that what ever I gain in efficiency, I also lose in opportunities to learn and improve as a developer.

Setting that aside code architecture is extremely important in regards to long term maintenance, robustness and security. My experience is that AI is just generally terrible at that, as I had them fail to architect something extremely basic and small correctly after nearly 8 hours of prompting across a lot of the top performing ones.

They seem to only excel at smaller functions or things that are easily templateable, which makes sense when you understand that they just duplicate what they have been trained on.

There are plenty of reasons why I favor self-hosting AI's and don't fund these corporations, the ethical issues are endless. But overall I just find the developers response here reason enough to not trust the long-term health of the project going forward.

Wasn't able to buy it due to the Harry Potter being included, J.K. Rowling actively funds anti-trans groups and laws. I'm not comfortable funding the person working to remove the safety and rights of my friends, family and myself. 😅

This is the closest I've seen someone get to Starfox 64 superficially, but a core part of a rail-shooter is scripting out cool cinematic sequences and it seems like its lacking strong direction in that regard. It's coming across a lot more arcadey and silly. 😅

My only issue with frame generation is them requiring newer hardware and that its more prone to noticeable artifacting when using lower frame rates as an input.

Which is a little counter productive, since you'd mostly want it at lower frame rates on older hardware. 😅

On Steam Deck even with the artifacting, I do find myself preferring a generated 60fps to the heavy stutter of 30fps.

Peripeteia turned me off from getting the bundle, it's early access which is a red flag, plus the reviews mention that the developers are wildly toxic to their customers and trans folk. 😅

There's been patents showing that Valve is working on a standalone/wireless headset solution which involves major changes in how the compositor works, including the reprojection method. I wouldn't expect any attention to the Linux stack until that's released...

Under AMD, the compositor has some issues that are causing it to stutter and async to glitch out for a frame every now and then. Generally I would like to see Valve try to close a lot more of the issues on github, there's a ton of problems that have just been sitting there unaddressed.

As an AMD user, the current experience is still nausea inducing.

Mostly due to Linux missing features like direct-mode rendering (to reduce latency, prevent tearing and improve the user experience) and GPU priority scheduling (so the compositor isn't competing with the game for resources) that are still in development.

Valve has been funding a lot of great work, but we'll probably have to wait until next year for all those pieces to start falling into place.

I was under the impression that Epic Games does very little work on Unreal Engine's Linux support. That the vast majority of fixes were contributed by the community? If that's the case, I don't think waiting on them is going to help much.

WebSocket support is an odd choice, WebRTC is better suited to real-time updates.
