- Comment on Windows 11's adoption is much slower compared to Windows 10, claims Dell 2 days ago:
Because 8 was garbage and people got rid of it as soon as possible. 10 was actually good, and 11 was barely a change functionally until they started messing with the ads push, and now they’re shoving LLM bullshit in to justify their exorbitant expenditures on the half functional tech.
- Comment on Epic boss Tim Sweeney thinks stores like Steam should stop labelling games as being made with AI: 'It makes no sense,' he says, because 'AI will be involved in nearly all future production 2 days ago:
The people lazy enough to have ai generate their code aren’t going to do that.

Unreal Tournament was pretty big.
Unreal engine is STILL used by half the video game industry.

They’ve cut whole divisions with no notice multiple times in the past. Not yet for AI, but they’re not innocent of this type of thing.

Almoynone of them get remotely that much. Just the management that works in a completely different building from the normal developers. Valve claims to have a flat hierarchy…but that’s only true below the upper management.
- Comment on Alberto Mielgo defends the Marathon cinematic as "not AI," denies his team touched Bungie’s plagiarized material and calls the art theft incident a genuine mistake that was "blown out of proportion" 1 week ago:
It’s almost like my next sentence addresses this argument already. You can never completely be sure
- Comment on Microsoft AI CEO Puzzled by People Being "Unimpressed" by AI 1 week ago:
LLMs are mostly a party truck that doesn’t work half the time. Like … Neat that it can kinda sorta do some stuff, but not yet at the level of consumer ready product with actual uses. The fact that it’s actively detrimental to the people it’s being forced on by the clueless ceos and management who are just protecting their other investments makes it just like all the idiotic return to office pushes because they want their real estate portfolios to go back up
- Comment on Why does American media (and to an extent the American public) seem to only focus on one issue at a time? 1 week ago:
Every media site has dozens of articles released every day. You noticing only a few of the topics is a you thing.
- Comment on YSK: The Invention Secrecy Act is a US federal law authorizing the government to suppress disclosure of certain inventions for reasons of national security. 6,543 inventions are currently suppressed. 1 week ago:
Tough to get a valid patent when the prior works were published publicly before you ever applied for it…

He wants to be the first trillionaire. Current richest person is a much less lasting title. He was bumped from that position briefly by the Oracle guy like a month ago.
- Comment on Why civilians don't crowdfund bribe money for politicians? 1 week ago:
The top ~5-6 people l wealthy people own more than the bottom 51% on the planet combined. Let alone a single country.

- Comment on Alberto Mielgo defends the Marathon cinematic as "not AI," denies his team touched Bungie’s plagiarized material and calls the art theft incident a genuine mistake that was "blown out of proportion" 1 week ago:
There’s a lot of outsourcing on these big games these days, so likely, some random contractor knowingly took the images and made a texture out of it, passing the work off as their own. And Bungie didn’t really have a way to verify if what they paid for for was original or not.
It was only identified because the original artist recognized their own work.
I’m not sure how a company can actually proactively prevent this kind of thing. Even doing all the work in house runs the risk of a rogue employee lying.

We know. But this is funny.

No one liked Windows 8. This doesn’t really prove anything.

He doesn’t want his company to be beholden to another for it’s future.
Look at all the issues phone app companies have when Google or Apple just kills their businesses on a whim with a tweak of their terms of service language.
- Comment on Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading 2 weeks ago:
Then there’s one AAAA game.
I mean, they claim there’s one, but evidence says otherwise. Them spending a lot on their shitty arena shooter with boats didn’t make it any higher quality.
