I have had an influx of these game decomps on my Instagram recently and was wondering why so many were appearing out of nowhere. Shortly after that influx, the open-sourcing Adobe Suit thing happened and again its on my feed. Most of these projects use AI to make it easier to decomply these things and understand why it was used but I am a bit worried about the implications. As in, will these decomps actually be stable? Will they be maintained? Will companies start lobbying for AI laws harder now, in a way it benefits them and not us?
I personally stay away from AI due to the many issues AI brings but I am a fan of people fighting big companies but is this the way to do it?
I am not trying to be pedantic, but Instagram is “AI.” It was toxic AI before LLMs were a popular thing. Participating in their algorithm is basically everything dystopian about the world of machine learning, concentrated in one service. And using it helps Meta perpetuate it more than using any LLM does.
Again, I don’t mean to be hostile; maybe you use it sparingly in some cleaner way, and I’m not saying everything on Instagram is bad; quite the contrary.
But I just want to make what Instagram runs it crystal clear.
Yeah, I am aware. I mostly use Instagram to follow artists and friends (since nobody wants to swap to alternatives). I try to use the alternatives as much as possible and if someone I like is on the alternative, I’d usually follow them there.
