alt Hacker NewsI think without getting into the whole AI is good/bad/terrible/amazing debate, can we just appreciate that it would have taken some developers a lot of time and coffee to make this happen without an LLM.
Another example recently is Ghost Recon 2; which originally came out on Xbox has now been ported to the PC.

I never got a chance to play it as I was mainly a PC gamer, so is that a bad thing to now have that opportunity to play it 23 years later on my PC?
It is, because the downstream consequences of this will be that the industry will do _everything_ to stop this from happening.
The idea of reimplementing the _engine_ is good. Handing out the _assets_ however is not.
The trajectory is clear I'm afraid. Games will in the future be streamed from the cloud, so that there are neither assets nor logic to steal.
Previously, before LLMs, the people doing this stuff had enough friction to consider their actions. Now they don't.
