Reggie Threatens To Go Liam Neeson Mode On Early Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Player
Former Nintendo of America COO Reggie Fils-Aimé has echoed Liam Neeson’s action star turn in response to someone posting a screenshot of an early-obtained copy of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
A Twitter user, who has since deleted their account, posted a photo of them pointing their finger at the title art of Tears of the Kingdom on the Nintendo Switch home menu. Reggie quote tweeted this image with the text “I don’t know what you want. What I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career, skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.” The tweet is a paraphrase of Liam Neeson’s famous lines from Taken, which kick-started the actor’s second career as an action star.

By what means the original poster obtained this copy is unknown. However, that doesn’t mean they acquired it illicitly, as several customers have received physical copies early. Given that he is no longer affiliated with Nintendo, Reggie’s tweet is just a joke. However, the company has come down hard on pirates and leakers in the recent past. Hacker Gary Bowser was sentenced to 40-months in prison for enabling Nintendo Switch piracy. He has since been released early, but Nintendo will take 25-30% of his future income until his debt to the company is repaid.
OpenAI Threatens Popular GitHub Project With Lawsuit Over API Use
Now, according to Xtekky, the European computer science student who runs the repo, OpenAI has sent a letter demanding that he take the whole thing down within five days or face a lawsuit. I interviewed Xtekky via Telegram, and he said he doesn’t think OpenAI should be targeting him since he isn’t connecting directly to the company’s API, but is instead getting data from other sites that are paying for their own API licenses. If the owners of those sites have a problem with his scripts querying them, they should approach him directly, he posited. […] Even if the original repo is taken down, there’s a great chance that the code — and this method of accessing GPT4 and GPT3.5 — will be published elsewhere by members of the community. Even if GPT4Free had never existed anyone can find ways to use these sites’ APIs if they continue to be unsecured. “Users are sharing and hosting this project everywhere,” he said. “Deletion of my repo will be insignificant.”
