Krafton did promise to be “AI first” for everything going forward. If you haven’t already blocked the publisher on Steam or other services, do so now.

Kim: Aw shit I regret my contract. Maybe I can get out of it by lying. I need tons of lies. I need to lie and bullshit like a madman. I nees to spout tons of absolute unhinged bullshit with a straight face.
ChatGPT: This. Is. My. Moment.

Sounds like our government. It sounds like our whole fucking modern society.

If I have to use AI to argue my case in court, it is because I don’t have enough money to hire a lawyer. You would think a CEO would understand their position in life.
mPony@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
This indicates that the CEO in question actually misunderstood their lawyer’s position in life. AI-pushers really do think that all workers are expendable. They have absolutely drunk the Flavour-Aid on all of this.
They probably don’t even see this as an “oopsie”, just an argument to throw even more resources at the AI, because they’re SO CLOSE to never having to pay a human for work ever again.

Or you are too cheap and stupid to pay a lawyer….
disorderly@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
Holy hell, the fact that those slack messages and that chatbot history ended up in court is mind blowing. I guess we should be grateful that this time, the bad guy and his hamfisted “Project X” got put in the spotlight.

When I’m in a “make game unattractive to buyers before it comes out” competition and my opponent is Krafton

I bet this will make it into the writing of Hifi Rush 2. (Tango Gameworks got bought by Krafton). The whole game is refreshingly unabashedly anti corporate and dunks on corporate culture in every way they can

What’s that smell in the air? Is it the smell of Schadenfreude?
FooBarrington@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
What a fucking piece of shit.
I have to admit, every time a story like this comes out, it makes me distrust any other large company all the more. When this whole thing first started, I already expected the publisher to be lying. Looks like the pattern holds true!

It’s weird, where are all the people who were saying the launch delay was probably for valid reasons? Where are the people saying that it couldn’t have all been lies because that would just come out in court? Where are those few vigorous defenders of Krafton now? There’s a big plate of shit here and they must be hungry.
Kushan@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
To be fair, not to defend the CEO at all but when this story first broke it was so wild that you knew someone had to be making up some serious bullshit but it was just so out there, it could have been either side.
Why anyone decided to pick sides is beyond me, this is why courts exist.

This is so dumb. I never believed the hype around CEOs, but I still thought they needed to have something, anything, to reach their position.
But the artificial dumbness time really reveals how many of them simply had simply dumb luck and no morals. And that was apparently enough for all of human history because their underlings protected them from acting to stupid. And now they think they don’t need those underlings anymore. Well, at least I can laugh myself to death before the climate wars.

Be tall, handsome, good hair, a deep voice, and exude confidence, and you’re halfway there. Looking like a CEO is half the battle.
Rothe@piefed.social 4 hours ago
The “no morals” part is their main qualifier

Shareholders care about only one thing, and its not the company or its employees. Of course maniacal idiots are at the top of the list for CEO, their too narcissistic and lack empathy to care.
Wrufieotnak@feddit.org 2 hours ago
Oh for sure! I just thought in their heads was a certain kind of business savvyness to reach their position. But it seems they just hear the echo of their own voice.

THAT is what happened?! Wow, that is hilarious!
The legal battle is ongoing, but Kim looks set to lose.
I am SO curious what will happen here and what the final verdict will be. Trying to cheat someone out of 250 million has to result in some enormous fine at least right?
mPony@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
We can only hope. Wouldn’t be surprised if it follows the age-old “keep appealing to a higher court until you reach dependable corruption” model.
