Here is Top Gear 2, running the way it always should have. Same race, original vs SA-1, taking turns. Watch what happens every time it swaps. The SA-1 chip is frying here!! But it holds 60 FPS, tunnels and mountains included.

Hi, this looks cool but can you comment on whether you have begun using AI in these hacks? Here is a Twitter post from the controversial starfox AI port that says you suggested the AI use, and I think it would be good to have clarification here: x.com/kandowontu/s...

Hi kayla, thanks for the question. I'm a ROM hacker since 2011 and I was one of the first people to use the SA-1 chip. I don't use GenAI on my ASM projects and don't support any GenAI usage for producing audiovisual content.

Yes, I have been following you and kando for some time, but his recent comments are alarming and he has mentioned you specifically so I would like to know why. Can you clarify by what you mean "for producing audiovisual content"? Are you meaning that you support its use in other areas?

Actually never mind, I've got my answer. I saw another comment from your account yesterday saying AI use is acceptable for coding. I disagree with this and I am disappointed you were not able to be up front with me about it. So no hard feelings but I will be disengaging from your work in the future.

I don't see a problem with using GenAI for coding specifically, with some caveats, because its training is different compared for pictures and music but I'm open for chatting here, Discord or email if you have some specific concern. It's difficult to tell all my thoughts in 280 chars, I'm sorry.

Oh fucking hell not you too.

Again, 280 characters doesn't let me put all context. I don't use AI for ASM coding. All my source code is on GitHub, you can check anytime.

GenAI isn't acceptable anywhere, there is no discussion.

Apparently you don't agree. bsky.app/profile/hack...

Jon, I might be wrong but the training concern is because big companies simply downloaded all audiovisual media (pics, videos, music, literature, etc.) without permission and made AI learn out of it. I think coding is different EXCEPT that GPL license should've made the entire thing open sourced...

I said "GenAI isn't acceptable anywhere", you said you agree and YET you made a post saying "I don't see a problem with using GenAI for coding specifically". You lied right to me. Fucking pick one.
