Microsoft has created an AI-generated version of Quake

I wonder what else it can get wrong for only the cost of a few glaciers.

In this case, Microsoft does own the IP (it bought Bethesda after Bethesda bought id), so they definitely didn't legally steal it.
They just reproduced it in the most uninteresting way possible.

Preservation!
How to actually do games preservation:
Reform IP laws.
Mandate open sourcing of hardware and software architectures after some period of time. 10 years? 5 years after no more of that hardware/software is sold? Yes texhnicalities are insanely complicated but you get the idea.
Oh, how about government funding for emulator development? We fund libraries that preserve books, and movies, and other stuff.

I tried playing it but it's so incoherent (walls becoming paths, dead enemies randomly coming back to life, health pickups that do nothing, etc) that I'm not even sure this counts as a game. Typically a game has rules so that you can set how you play according to those rules. This is just poorly-generated trash, which I guess fits in with the rest of the hot garbage AI we've currently got.

"You could imagine a world where.."
Sure, I can imagine a lot of things, and a lot of them will never materialize.

Can I steal this quote and pretend I came up with it?

“We’ve talked about game preservation as an activity for us, and these models and their ability to learn completely how a game plays without the necessity of the original engine running on the original hardware opens up a ton of opportunity.”
No, I don't think that you're talking about preservation then. Not even game emulation. You're talking about game hallucination.
I’m pretty sure they’re just referring to using the techniques to replicate things after learning, not hallucinating the whole game as if it would be a 1:1 copy.

I read this as they're even generating the frames with AI:
The tech demo is part of Microsoft’s Copilot for Gaming push, and features an AI-generated replica of Quake II that is playable in a browser. The Quake II level is very basic and includes blurry enemies and interactions, and Microsoft is limiting the amount of time you can even play this tech demo
While Microsoft originally demonstrated its Muse AI model at 10fps and a 300 x 180 resolution, this latest demo runs at a playable frame rate and at a slightly higher resolution of 640 x 360. It’s still a very limited experience though, and more of hint at what might be possible in the future.

You can claim the quote is Fair Use and that your shitty business model depends on it.

Technically they stole from themselves because they didn't transfer ownership from Bethesda to Microsoft. Those are still separate entities.

I can't make a correct numbered list in Teams to save my life. I have to do it on word and then....copy paste
Teams is kind of awesome of what you want to do is exchange emojis and funny gifs with your co-workers. Not so much if you want to work.
I miss the days when applications were coded like applications, not like web sites. The ammount of clutter that goes behind the scenes to get a simple OK button on screen these days must be mind numbing.
