Encrypting save games
Why?
Because the world today is not the world of yesterday. A capitalist oligarchy runs the world and forces us to consume in order to keep the gears of this rotten society on track. As such, the biggest market for video game consumption today is the mobile one. It is a market of poor souls forced to compulsively consume digital content in order to forget the misery of their everyday life, commute, or just any other brief free moment they have that they are not using to produce goods or services for the ruling class. These individuals need to keep focusing on their video games (because not doing so will fill them with tremendous existential angst), so they go as far as spending money on them to extend their experience, and their preferred way of doing so is through in-app purchases and virtual currency.
But what if someone were to find a way to edit the saved games and assign the items and currency without effort? That would be terrible, because it would help players consume the content much faster, and therefore run out of it sooner than expected. If that happens, they will have nothing that prevents them from thinking, and the tremendous agony of realizing their own irrelevance would again take over their life. No, we definitely do not want that to happen, so let’s see how to encrypt savegames and protect the world order.
I’m pretty sure some of the newer ChatGPT-like products (the consumer-facing interface, not the raw LLM) do in fact do this. They try to detect certain types of inputs (i.e. math problems or requesting the current weather) and convert it to an API request to some other service and return the result instead of a LLM output. Frankly it comes across to me as an attempt to make the “AI” seem smarter than it really is by covering up its weaknesses.

The children shot by IDF soldiers is only a part of it, there’s a lot more.
I’m reminded of the Henry Cuellar situation, where the Democratic leadership decided to support the anti-abortion blue dog who was also taking bribes from Azerbaijan (so basically the original Eric Adams) against a primary challenge from a progressive candidate, and he ultimately won the primary by less than 300 votes. And they wonder why nobody believes them when they say they’re “the most progressive presidency since FDR”.
