I don't think they're necessarily lying about whether there has been AI involved in producing the video. It could as well be just some slop 3D animation, mixed together with some wannabe-rich-guy entrepreneur dude's idea of what a game trailer and marketing campaign looks like.

The fact that the only gameplay element we can find on their website is some kind of storefront with ingame items kind of lines up with that.

The fact that the company behind it brought up NFTs when nobody was asking, also.

This makes me realise that using an LLM and uncritically relying on the result and thinking it is something you did on your own, is the equivalent of what would be called a script kiddie in IT security.

But is it? Modern p2p software like syncthing or wireguard are pretty secure.

I think p2p's software security issue was that most of it stemmed from times when everything was pretty vulnerable, and when security started to be taken seriously, there was already little development on p2p software.

At the same time, it makes it hard for users with poor tech skills to use p2p applications. uPnP is great, but in the past it had only worked half the time.

I'm pretty sure that NAT is a factor for why we ended up with centralised architectures on almost all apps where it's feasible.
