I’m really sad to watch this slow-motion train crash continue to play out. Subnautica 2 was a guaranteed hit thanks to the strength of the first game, and somehow the new studio owners have completely fucked that to pieces. Truly a masterclass in snatching failure from the jaws of success.

Same. I love this game when I’m looking for something to chill with. Relaxed mode (with the timer off) is the way better way to play.

Isn’t this true of like everything AI right now?
We’re in the “grow a locked-in user base” part of their rollout. We’ll hit the “make money” part in a year or two, and then the enshittification machine will kick into high gear.

- Comment on AI Should Help Fund Creative Labor 4 weeks ago:
Lots of fluff in this article and the site itself sucks. Here’s the key paragraph:
One way to achieve this would be to impose a levy on the gross revenues of the largest AI providers, collected by a national or multilateral agency. As the technology becomes increasingly embedded in daily life and production processes, the revenue flowing to AI firms is bound to grow – and so, too, will contributions to the fund. These resources could then be distributed by independent grant councils on multiyear cycles, ensuring that support reaches a wide range of disciplines and regions.
My biggest issue with this approach is that it fails to acknowledge that AI is a bubble currently propped up by venture capital. In 1-4 years all those investors are going to want their ROI, and AI companies are going to start turning the money crank hard.
- Comment on White House unveils sweeping plan to “win” global AI race through deregulation 4 weeks ago:
What a bunch of fucking idiots. They could be increasing grants for AI research, offering fast-pass visas & citizenship paths to AI experts/PhDs from other countries, and working to increase the availability of necessary resources such as data centers and power. But nope! We’re just letting the commercial businesses cut corners so they can profit off of it faster.
Pretty much sums up this administration in a nutshell.

In no way is Peacock worth $17/month.
- Comment on Delta moves toward eliminating set prices in favor of AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticket 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, this is literally discrimination based inherently on race, gender, etc., but it’s going to be considered totally fine because the mystical AI is doing it.

- Comment on Founder of Arkane Studios: "I think Gamepass is an unsustainable model that has been increasingly damaging the industry for a decade"; impacts sales 1 month ago:
What’s “short” about the short-sightedness, though? I’ve been a Game Pass subscriber for something like 8 years and it’s still crushing it as far as services go - probably moreso now than any year prior.
Will it last / remain a good deal forever? Nope. But nothing does/is. Might as well enjoy the great variety of games I’d never purchase (like Blue Prince, Arcade Paradise, Shipbreaker, South of Midnight, Expedition 33, etc.) along with the convenience of access to games I totally would pay for (like THPS 1+2, Gears, Diablo, etc.). Plus the built-in rewards subsidize like 1/4 of the cost.
When (not “if”, when) they jack up the price to a point that’s not worth the games or I don’t have enough time to play to justify the spend, I’ll just cancel.
- Comment on Microsoft axe another 9000 in continued AI push 1 month ago:
Yeah, from that perspective this reads roughly like when the Zoom CEO started forcing his own people back into the office. Basically tells the market that your company has no real faith in the claims it makes about its products.
- Comment on Judge Rules Training AI on Authors' Books Is Legal But Pirating Them Is Not 2 months ago:
FTA:
Anthropic warned against “[t]he prospect of ruinous statutory damages—$150,000 times 5 million books”: that would mean $750 billion.
So part of their argument is actually that they stole so much that it would be impossible for them/anyone to pay restitution, therefore we should just let them off the hook.

Microsoft doesn’t expect anyone to pay $80. They expect people to sub to Game Pass instead.
