Ok i have to admit im not exactly well informed when it comes to the inner working of ai. However saying that because we are using wfca for procedual generation and because ai uses wfca means that ai is already used to generate games is a bit of a stretch.

Wave function collapse has nothing to do with ai. Its just a way to generate stuff procedurally.

Yes while the us undoubtedly benefited from this i have serious trouble believing they would risk a diplomatic incident of this magnitude. Sabotaging the energy infrastructure of a nato ally would put the alliance at rist and i dont think even the turbo capitalists across the pond would rist that for some short term financial gain. The us also benefits from the ukraine war as a whole but i think its a stretch to assume cia put putin up to it.
