I am grateful every day that so many of the worst people in politics are stupid. Things are horrible but they could be a lot worse with an ounce of intelligence.

The executive costs won’t go away with AI. It is in fact only getting worse as they rely on technology that’s losing money and will need to rehire humans to fix a lot of shit, all after assuming less labor = more in their pockets.

I wish the shills in the trenches could see this. It’s blatant.

As far as the execs, they not only pocket millions for themselves, their meddling is explicitly implicated in multiple high profile failures, and commonly cited as one of the most harmful problems in game dev.

Their trend-chasing capriciousness wastes resources, scraps work, costs millions.

AI is a fucking scam. The twerps peddling it are fucking scammers. The fruits of their anti-labors are fucking scamdumps.

I can only view developers who shill it as traitors to the medium.

the revolt of the bosses in silicon valley has been honestly stunning in how blatant it is

no remote work, slashing perks, constant unexplained layoffs despite record profits

you will fear for your job and stay in line, or else

Computers were a skill. They were taught in classrooms as a skill. Skills give you power over your tools because you work them as an expert and that is leverage to multiply externally.

And then computers became an A/B tested telemetry-based advertising conduit to brains for SaaS recurring revenue.
