🤖 Lazy Bear co‑founder Svyatoslav Cherkasov shot down the rumours: Graveyard Keeper 2 is NOT being built with generative AI. Cherkasov privately experiments with neural models, but those experiments aren't part of production, graphics, audio and other pillars are handled by real specialists in the studio. Studying AI is smart, but it doesn't equal automatic integration into the commercial project. REALLY, no drama.

It seems Sergey #Cherkasov—who's now detained in 🇧🇷 for forgery of identity but has also been charged in 🇺🇸 for 'acting as an agent of a foreign power'—may be going home at some point, in case 🇧🇷agrees to extradite him. A long shot now but not impossible.

Russian National “Illegal” Charged with Acting as Agent of a Russian Intelligence Service in the United States

"The #Cherkasov case has been a source of embarrassment for 🇧🇷 officials about their system’s susceptibility to fraud and the frequency with which it has been used by 🇷🇺 intelligence services as a launchpad for illegals." @Gregmiller https://t.co/oHohRpvJex
He came to D.C. as a Brazilian student. The U.S. says he was a Russian spy.

A former graduate student in Washington, who claimed to be Brazilian but was unmasked as a Russian spy, has been charged by the U.S. with acting as a foreign agent.

🧵This affidavit by an FBI agent makes for a fascinating read. It fills some gaps in the story of 🇷🇺GRU agent #Cherkasov, aka 🇧🇷Victor Muller #Ferreira, who was unmasked by the 🇳🇱 security service AIVD. Upon arrival in 🇳🇱, "Ferreira" was meant to infiltrate #ICC OTP as an intern. https://t.co/wGk2Ypsaf9
