he's broken every human law and wrote about it everywhere
SDNY came down on him when they became aware

that's not really a scam, it's just phishing. if you click the "unlock your wallet" button you go to a copy of the paypal/metamask login page made by the phishers. if you log in there they just log into the real thing on your behalf and steal all your money

while we're all focused on crypto getting hosed up by ordinary market vicissitudes, let's not forget that crypto can also be hosed up by people being amazingly, unbelievably stupid

Large corpo inertia. Squeenix is still saying that they will release NFT games in its official documents.

yeah this. even aside from the true believer issue, a major initiative at a large company can't be killed by someone saying "this sucks and we're gonna eat poo poo on it, trust me". you need numbers to counter the numbers displayed by the initial approved proposal and that usually means a pilot program or trial balloon

the key to game AI isn't to make it smart it's to make the player think it's smart. you make a basic AI that plays your game at the skill level of a particularly dull child, then you try to arrange things so that from time to time it stumbles into doing something that seems clever purely out of luck, so the player is impressed and thinks they've been outsmarted

the key is to make sure the player understands what it’s doing. if that means having the AI literally narrate it’s own decisions like in FEAR so be it

if the AI is smart enough to take the player by surprise and win that just feels like cheap bullshit you had no chance against. which is accurate and also not fun

Yeah good luck fixing a merge conflict on an asset file. maybe if you had a very smart editor that anticipated that scenario and gave you tools for it, and if it was an asset type for which that concept even means anything, you could do it. but I don’t think this sort of thing exists for media in general

I find the stock git GUI to be pretty helpful, you can do most basic things without the CLI

you still need some kind of non-git editor to resolve merge conflicts in a better way than just picking A or B. this editor doesn't exist for some classes of asset and cannot exist for other classes of asset. asking your artists to crack the file open in a text editor and fix it line by line is not realistic. that's the whole problem

I just tried to do the swap and it refused to let sudo cp work which means it's probably under the SIP umbrella and I'm not turning that off for shits and giggles

you can't modify anything that counts as a system package at all without disabling that, so there's your package validation. gatekeeper is IIRC only applied to packages tagged as downloaded
