Name a game you have enjoyed that isn’t a ripoff.
Okay. You don’t like the word “similar” I guess. What word would you use?
It is certainly not the same.
Patents and video games huh? We can’t ignore what John Carmack had to say about this:
The idea that I can be presented with a problem, set out to logically solve it with the tools at hand, and wind up with a program that could not be legally used because someone else followed the same logical steps some years ago and filed for a patent on it is horrifying.

If we allow this to continue, we will end up with more content for players to enjoy.
They didn’t copy Pokemon, they created new content that is similar to Pokemon.
Do you believe it is wrong to create new content that is very similar to existing content that people enjoy?
Is it wrong for Pocket Pair (Palworld’s creator) to create new content that is similar to existing Pokemon? Is it wrong for GameFreak to create new content that is similar to existing Pokemon? Morally speaking, why are the answers to those questions different?
You mean the CCP is not an “individual or group”?

I, like the OP, was also studying math from a textbook and using GPT4 to help clear things up. GPT4 caught an error in the textbook.
The LLM doesn’t have a theory of mind, it wont start over and try to explain a concept from a completely new angle, it mostly just repeats the same stuff over and over. Still, once I have figured something out, I can ask the LLM if my ideas are correct and it sometimes makes small corrections.
Overall, most of my learning came from the textbook, and talking with the LLM about the concepts I had learned helped cement them in my brain. I didn’t learn a whole lot from the LLM directly, but it was good enough to confirm what I learned from the textbook and sometimes correct mistakes.
Instead of a planned layoff, it’s a layoff of random people, with a bias towards laying off the most capable.
If all the cars are the same price I’ll buy the one with the upgrade options and then not pay for them.
Anti-trust lawyers are rubbing their hands in anticipation.
We’re seeing more and more that our “free market” with its “competition” doesn’t provide goods and services that most people want, which makes me wonder, why have free markets and competition?
This is how companies that don’t have competition act. This is how most companies act. We need more anti-trust enforcement.
There was a time I wanted a Tesla, but I don’t anymore. This is just another reason why.
Does Tesla care about making a “neat thing” or do they care about making “a car that can drive me places”. The doors clearly show they prioritize making a “neat thing”, but I want a reliable car.
Opening and closing doors was a solved problem. Somehow Tesla made it worse.

There’s also websites hosted in countries that don’t care about US law. We can access those even without a VPN, for now…
Google doesn’t index Discord, which means the billion dollar ad industry makes little effort to push their ads on Discord.
It’s like if a bunch of people were gathered in person talking about something, with many of the same pros and cons.
Good call, the shape arranging mechanic existing in board game form before Tetris, and the “challenge approaching from the top of the screen” thing was a staple of many many Atari and arcade games.
