Is it bad that I think that having rules against AI art generation gatekeeps the accumulation of artwork behind either having loads of money to pay artists, finding artists willing to work in exchange for things other than money, or having your own innate artistic talent? I guess I must have a sense of entitlement or something.

(Well, truth be told, I do have a sense of entitlement. For instance, I think I'm entitled to be able to write software to solve puzzles for me, and shouldn't have to use raw brain power or innate talent to directly solve problems. Back in high school, I wrote software to solve math problems, rather than actually using pencil and paper to write crap down. This actually got accepted most of the time back then. Screw the proctoring crap that remote schooling has now.)

My name is kode54, or kode, or in some circles, kuroshi. Or, my once combo of first name and my parents' last name, Chris Moeller, or my legal name, Christopher Snowhill.

I am a C/C++/etc programmer, and maintain a whole bunch of emulation and odd format libraries.

Also the primary maintainer of the only active fork of the macOS audio player, Cog. I also maintain the repository for the active console audio stream format player, VGMStream, though most of the other developers involved lead more active roles in actually working on the project.
