Just so I understand your objection, they are woke because in the game one of their studios made, the woman in the game wasn't attractive enough for you?

I take amphetamines prescribed by a doctor for ADHD, and without them I am considerably less effective. And the same way your amphetamine analogy doesn't work, I think it similarly doesn't work for LLMs either. At the end of the day if you are more effective with something than without it, it would be silly to avoid it out of some sense of "purity".

It's a pretty high moat getting into stuff like simulation software

I'm currently working on a simulation/game about space and orbital mechanics. I have a lot of software experience, I know how to build large projects and architect my code, and I know how to to test the end result to ensure I'm getting what I want. But I also don't have a strong math or physics background. In my experience, Claude (Opus 4.6+) has had no issues writing any simulation or game related math code. And the key thing is, I don't need to have a PhD in astrophysics to verify interactively and visually that everything is working as I expect to. I just have an interest in space, and a basic understanding of the physics involved.

it's often applied mathematicians and physicists turned devs that work on this stuff.

It's true that this has been the case, but I also would not have been able to implement what I'm doing now without these models (at least without dedicated a huge amount of time on learning all of the physics and math). So I think this domain specific knowledge is becoming less of a moat than people realize. At least that's my perspective on the specific area I'm working on, but I don't have a hard time believing it extends to other domains, provided there is ample information about them online to have trained on.

I don't understand why someone would go through the effort to prompt that when the comments it suggested are total garbage, and it seems like would take similar effort to produce a low quality human written comment.

This feels like an incredibly disingenuous comparison and I suspect you know that. But just to play along, real artists had to design the character models, real filmmakers had to decide which shots to capture, real editors had to put that together to make a cohesive story. Also they almost certainly went through color grading after having completed the rendering, so the colors are certainly selected by humans to produce a nice looking composition.

This seems like a you problem. I have quite a few repos made before using "main" was the default in GitHub or Git. I have not changed them, and I have never spent more than 5 seconds thinking about it, let alone worrying about being considered "less of a person" because of it.

How do you have anything dynamic? How do you handle any differences at all between your infrastructure and what the authors built it for.

I would point to platforms like Curiosity Stream and Nebula, which are creator driven. Though I would not exactly call them Youtube replacements, as they are more just platforms designed for supporting specific creators more directly (akin to Patreon). These platforms are often advertised as in-video sponsorships, so going back to the original point, I do think creators would be very vocal if such ads were banned.

The big difference with this seems like it is an actual security mechanism to block "invalid" accesses where as the tagged memory extensions only provided pointer metadata and it was up to the OS to enforce invariants.

Extensions provide no security. [...] The tagged memory extensions don't stop you from doing anything.
