ok genuine crisis of faith here. I've got two games I've been working on, both are intended to be fully open source. One is nearly ready for a public release, the other is probably realistically a year or two out. I feel it is important for the source to be available for the former, and it might not yet be part of any training sets because it only has 17 stars on github, but I'm assuming it probably is already.
The latter is largely not online at all, because I simply haven't built it yet...
@aeva By having the source, I can make any changes I may need. If I don't have it, that may not be the case. The existence of the slop machines does not change this.
@DPA feeding the slop machines perpetuates and worsens the harm caused by the slop machines. if you want source code go stop the slop peddlers
@aeva It just seams counter productive. Like a saw off the branch you sit on kind of idea. What is left of open source, if you remove the open source? Well, except for the ai slop, that is.
@DPA I think open source developers should consider collective action and solidarity instead of ignoring the problem and hoping it goes away, yes
