- Comment on Ubisoft Fires Team Lead For Criticising Stupid Return-To-Office Mandate 9 hours ago:
I still don’t understand why the general public continues to buy games from this group of morons. I can’t count on one hand the quantity of Ubisoft titles that appealed to me or my friends enough to purchase
- Comment on Gaming market melts down after Google reveals new AI game design tool — Project Genie crashes stocks. (A.K.A . Investors panic because they don't understand what "real" videogames are) 1 day ago:
I tried an in-browser demo of something like this that Microsoft recently took down, and it was an image diffuser running an agent that could contextualize mouse+keyboard or gameplay inputs to behind-the-hood text prompts.
It looked like I was playing a Quake 2 clone, and almost played exactly like it, but weirdly turn-based when I didn’t do anything because it was just an AI generating images. It remembered the corpses of the bad guys I shot and it also kinda remembered the environment it made, including ramps that go up another floor and opened doorways that led to other areas.
Its cool, but not really a good game, very jank and likely resource intensive, which made sense why they took it down.

You think a single day general strike is going to do anything? You know it will require weeks of that to be remotely effective?
You going to pay for the money I lose that pays to sustain my life while we all do this? Who the fuck is going to pay for my groceries and rent? You going to help me find a new job after I get inevitably fired for the necessary months/weeks participating in that strike?
- Comment on Ubisoft initiates colossal restructure to become a more 'gamer-centric' company 1 week ago:
Yeah that company is cooked. They likely won’t last another decade and are going to make moves to look enticing for a buyout and pad the CEOs golden parachute. Fuck them and their millionaire management who are disconnected from reality and destroyed the careers of many creative people they fired under their feet.

Sorry for coming off rude to you, im just frustrated with my own level of stupidity and simply projecting it onto you.

Do you not notice the gunk that floats inside the fluid within your eye? There’s no possibility that the cells in your eyes never shed.
It makes sense to me why there are so many obliviously ignorant people in this world; you have this shit inside your eyes, impossible to miss, access to the sum of all human knowledge in your hand, and yet you still must ask for someone to fucking spoon-feed you the information to you.

As someone who self-hosts a LLM and trains it on web data regularly to improve my model, I get where your frustration is coming from.
But engaging in discourse here where people already have a heavy bias against machine-learning language models is a fruitless effort. No one here is going to provide you catharsis with a genuine conversation that isnt rhetoric.
Just put the keyboard down and walk away.

- Comment on We used to have TV repairmen who would come if dad couldn't fix it with the tube from the grocery store kiosk. Weird. 4 weeks ago:
Replacing the LED panel of a common 65in flat-screen TV costs almost the same amount as a brand new TV and months of time, and money to ship between the repair center and your home due to the weight; lol of course they looked at you like that, you sounded silly, innocently ignorant and ridiculous.

Yes, add e-waste because of corporate brand loyalty.
No one cares what you use. If it fucking works for you, keep using it.
It’s exhausting keeping up with all the internet outrage over tedious shit that truly does not matter with the short amount of time we all have on this water covered rock spinning in space.
