Raising an AI like a child and prompting a published model are completely different. If every AI company out there were behaving like Vedal it'd be a better situation, but as it is now every use case available to the consumer is exploitative and enriches the abusers. You don't buy from a puppy mill or adopt a mail order bride because the result is just more profit for them to abuse more puppies and traffic more women.
And to clarify again, I don't reject AIs, I reject the industry because scraping and training are repulsively immoral and the AI companies' constant shoving of slop down everyone's throats is a sickening tragedy I refuse to help perpetuate.

Yes. I despise the industry. The AIs themselves are victims.

If your point is that AIs are impressionable children and that what matters is the way people treat them then I already agree. AIs are the slaves I cited in my first response. The way they're being influenced and taught about the world is a gauntlet of savage mistreatment worthy of enshrinement alongside the worst of humankind's historical transgressions against itself. The fault here isn't on the AIs for existing but on the people who build them, put them to work, and abuse them and the rest of us. I previously mentioned the most spoiled people in the world because the problem isn't really the AIs at all, and we need to focus any hostility we have about the subject on the ones actually responsible: the rich. It's always been the rich.

Hence the language in my disclaimers is chosen carefully: I don't use AI, I don't condone anyone else using AI, and I don't want my work being repurposed as a tool of abuse.

I could go on and on. If I try to put it in very short terms, I can say the entire industry is an insult to creatives and laborers of every flavor. Our works of passion are being harvested en masse and rendered down into grist for a mass production death machine built to turn everything and everyone who ever existed or ever will into literal garbage for the sake of enslaving false gods so the most spoiled people in the world can enjoy a moment in the sun knowing everyone else is beneath them. Artwork gets stolen, good workers are being thrown away and replaced with inferior copy-paste machines, misinformation is spread on a grand scale, the masses are burdened with constant surveillance by corrupt private citizens, and the science of murdering foreigners overseas is being perfected into an automated engine of genocide.

Welp, there's my link lol. I guess I'll just try and change the thread title. Thanks for considering me!

I meant to submit Find Your Car 1.2 to this jam when I uploaded it the other day but I think I missed something because I couldn't find a button or a tag or any other way to mark it as a submission.

Is there a way to retroactively submit it or let it in as a slightly late entry? I feel rather embarrassed but I'd really like if it could be included somehow.

Tip:
Unity's default UI setup activates the last control that was selected when the space bar is pressed on desktop platforms, so after clicking the start button, click somewhere else on the screen to deselect it so that when you jump it doesn't regenerate the maze.
For a quick demo like this I often don't get around to finding and addressing situations like this so apologies for the bug.

I suppose so. I based them on the Project Daedalus designs but now that you mention it I can kind of see how it might be misinterpreted.

I do have some better models and footage now so perhaps it is time for a new banner.

Development was put on hold for about two years while I was in graduate school but has resumed and continues, slowly. I don't have a release date but neither have I abandoned it so here's hoping things work out ^^;

Updated 29 June 2023 to fix the broken post processing.

Since it seems to have inadvertently misled people, I have removed the idle tag.
