Rather than be seen as a "pushover" for paying his staff what he OWED them, this CEO would rather be seen as an incompetent loser who can't even think for himself as he asks an LLM how to scam his employees out of their earned bonuses

Krafton CEO allegedly asked ChatGPT to help him find a way out of paying Subnautica 2 devs their bonuses because he wanted to avoid the 'professional embarrassment' of being seen as a 'pushover'
A pre-trial brief filed by former Unknown Worlds bosses says Krafton CEO Changham Kim was worried about losing his job for overpaying for the studio.

One of the last big changes we made to the game is how we handle dates. The UI was designed in Europe, the game director is in the US- Nobody could agree on what date format to use, so I unified the entire game on YY/MM/DD- That way nobody’s happy! Highly recommend using this format, feels powerful.

This is exactly what happened.
Kind of feels like the IOC expected for the study to say "yeah trans women are like the hulk somehow" and when it completely undercut the reasoning behind banning us. They have simply elected to ignore their own work.

Placeholder images in game dev are blatantly obvious so you don't accidentally keep them. Solid colors, "WIP" text, an out-of-place asset from your last game, etc.
When a company says that an AI asset got in as a placeholder, they're either mind-boggling incompetent or lying to you. Probably lying.

Every state apart from Tas is pulling their weight with hospital expenditure. The Feds not wanting to pay for the additional demand on hospitals that the FEDS CREATE from underfunding their primary health, NDIS and aged care system responsibilities is pathetic bullshit www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Health ministers are furious with a letter from the prime minister demanding they rein in spending if they want a public hospital funding deal honoured.
