I wrote that radio, TV, internet, they were initially "looked with suspicion", fearing they would brainwash people. It's not that they were never used. Fortunately, common sense prevailed over ideological purity, and they weren't left solely in the hands of capitalism. The same thing is happening with AI. Looking it with suspicion is legitimate, leaving it in the hands of capitalism—a strategic mistake. Just as we used radio, TV, and the Internet against the system, it will be inevitable to do the same with AI.

My critique was trying to go beyond the specifics of this jam. Rejecting a tool out of ideological purity risks leaving it entirely in the hands of those you want to oppose.  
It's a mistake that alternative movements have already made in the past. For a long time, parts of the leftist and anarchist movements looked with suspicion at the internet, social media, and going further back in time, at private radio and TV stations. This meant ceding those spaces to those who had fewer ideological qualms about using them.
It may seem paradoxical, but the more powerful a technology is, the more it costs to reject it. And AI is probably the most transformative technology of recent decades. In any case, if we really want to limit ourselves to this jam: if a young person interested only in learning to code wanted to make their game by generating sprites with AI, I don't think that would be a great harm to the world of creativity — or conversely, an aspiring artist who had AI write the code to animate their creations wouldn't be such a great harm to programmers either.

I'm not a native English speaker either, so don't worry about errors — I don't even notice them :-)

As an anarchist, I think that AI is not in itself an expression of capitalism, but rather the use that is made of it, as is the case with any technology. However, I think that, unlike other technologies, it has the intrinsic power to become an anti-capitalist tool, capable of bringing skills and knowledge to social classes that cannot afford to acquire them. In all honesty, I think it is a bit too early to consider reliable the studies that correlate the use of AI with cognitive decline.

This is a good article, it is in Italian but luckily now we have tools to translate

First of all, there's no theft, because nothing was stolen from the artists; their works remain theirs. They simply weren't granted the rights to use them, and this is a rule introduced by capitalism. OpenAi, which you mentioned, has been accused by the capitalist system of having trained its models in violation of the license. I know that OpenAi and Sam Altman are equally capitalist, but they had to say "fuck capitalism" if they wanted to achieve their goals. The focus of the topic I opened isn't good and beautiful AI vs. bad and ugly AI.

Do we want to abolish AI? That's fine by me. Many jams don't allow the use of AI-generated assets, and that's a legitimate choice; I simply find it contradictory in this jam with this theme.

Ah...I'm Italian; this post was translated using AI. 

Licenses are the highest expression of capitalism, that's exactly the point of this thread. It's impossible to fuck capitalism and respect licenses at the same time.

A painter improves himself by observing the paintings of previous painters, a writer improves by reading the writings of others, musicians draw inspiration from the music of other musicians, a multitude of video games are inspired by other video games. Every idea comes from someone else's idea. Is all this stealing?

Thank you for understanding and delving deeper into my thought.

If you're referring to chatgpt grok gemini etc., I agree, but the model is open source and runs on my PC, I'm not paying or empowering capitalists, and I'm not taking away earnings from artists I wouldn't have hired anyway.

fuck capitalism means sharing, collectivism, no private property, no copyright, no patents.

Many AI models are free and open source and that means fuck capitalism.

Don't you think it's contradictory to say "fuck capitalism" and at the same time not allow content generated by an AI because it might have been trained on stolen content?

thank's

Hi, thank you for your detailed review. I agree with the issues you highlighted. I can or maybe someone else (the game in open) improve everything once the evaluation period is over.

Thank you for this detailed review of my game; I really appreciate you playing it through. The issues you mentioned are real, but to meet the deadline, I chose to finish the game even if it wasn't perfect. I plan to improve it, but I don't think it's right to do so now with the evaluations still ongoing.

Thank you again!

Hi all, it seems many people find the training level challenging. Maybe the bottles fall to fast, but there's no time limit for hitting 10 bottles in 10 shots ; take your time and aim carefully.

Hello, thank you for playing my game. Yes, there are three boss fights in the game. It seems many people find the training level challenging. Maybe the bottles fall to fast, but there's no time limit for hitting 10 bottles in 10 shots ; take your time and aim carefully. Here's a gameplay video of the training level:

Thank you for appreciating my game and for your suggestions. You're right, it needs adjustments. Unfortunately, my team consists of just me, and the minimalist choice was practically forced in order to meet the deadline. I intend to improve it, but I don't know if I can or if it's right to do so with evaluations in progress. Thanks again

Hi, thx, there was a bug in the Deputy Triggers boss fight, now it's fixed

Hi, Thank you for reporting the bug, I've fixed it.

It seems impossible to go beyond 10 steps

I'm experiencing the same issues as the previous comments, I can't play.
