If you bought the product, the money went to the company. You don't need to take personal responsibility beyond that, and the company isn't doing the thing you hate so much. By the same token that "some of your money might end up (after many twists and turns) empowering politics you find repugnant", a much bigger share of this money is paying for the food on the table of the employees, their families and their children.
How many people unrelated with your personal gripe, people that were doing a good job since you were paying and satisfied customer, are you willing to punish in order to "send a message"?
This is an impossible standard to live by and demand from everything you buy and every service you pay for. Doubly so if you need to announce to the world you're dropping a product because of something that isn't done by or responsibility of its employees.
I think it failing miserably to make an accurate profile just with generic training data is a good thing. Identifying someone with precision should require a minimum of intent, if not effort.
I encourage you to mail them specifically about this concern.
If it is a matter of communication, they can fix and clarify it. If it's genuinely scummy, they can change their approach now that they know they were caught in the act
We are extremely well served in open source and free options for SNES emulation. The dev wants to make something new, is using Unity for multiplatform and gor partial shader code abstraction and he has proven he can deliver good stuff if properly funded.
Let the man cook, and if you have some technical question, i'm sure Lord would answer you.
So they've been advancing in making the AI use the computer through the same API as a person (screen/cursor/keystrokes), and the dream is a Future where AI can use a PC and handle tasks and tools like a human user.
But to use their product,you have to go through the non-human-friendly API route, or else it's against the rules and Anthropic will sic their legal team onto you...
Something about this reasoning seems brittle. Specially in a world of Agentic tools
One thing I never understood on these recompilation projects is how static recomp translates the graphics between radically different architectures. Even with the supporting libraries, this translation shouldn't "just work"
Right now it's more of an idea to keep on the back of your head than anything else.
LLMs are still being created and refined, token dictionaries are also changing. For this to work, you'd need something future proof, to avoid having and ultra efficiently compressed file that can never be opened because part of the decompressor is an extremely big and outdated data file that may or may not disappear from the most acessible sites for being heavy and obsolete.
That being said, if we ever make an "absolute" language model with a "definitive" dictionary or make a cheap and efficient way of grounding future models to make them "backwards compatible", this coould be used to preserve data for longevity. HDs and SSDs don't have the same durability of books, floppy discs can demagnetize, etc.
I think microsoft was working on a "true long term" storage medium using a crystal engraving technique to ensure the data could live for thousands of years and survive the elements. For that extreme case it might be useful.
