It showcases the ugliest side of the internet. Now that people have access to other people's lives so easily, life becomes a 24/7 soap opera and everyone has a front row seat. Everyone is an expert in soap opera land because we live in that world every day. It's so scary what the internet did to us.

Huh. Did they actually make the spice worms? I remember that being a big selling point back when they were saying the game could do anything when it couldn't.

I want to use other engines for my projects, but no other engine actually delivers on the things that I need it to do.

Depends. Are we going by shadow clone logic a la Naruto/My Hero Academia or are we going literal clone? If it's the first, it is an extension, if it's the latter it's a separate entity.

What they likely mean is; "I can't find games that are easy to monetize by making videos or streams about it."

And how it's kind of silly that you need Minecraft to make a worse hallucinated version of Minecraft.

Worst part is that company's takeaway from a study like this is "avoid using AI in our marketing". The thing will still have the same AI in it.

In reality people who think there is a shadowy cabal that can do this don't care about being proven wrong. They care about you proving a negative. That you can prove the technology *doesn't* exist. It's impossible to prove a negative.

Lionsgate is already 1.2 billion dollars in the red, far as I remember, so maybe this is the killing blow.

I thought it was satire at first. A comment on society. But it seems completely sincere. Imagine being so insecure, isolated and out of touch you have to invent your own followers to feel like you are "in touch" with reality. That is indeed sad. I hope he gets real help one day.

I believe it's because it feels forced and artificial. It's not playful.
Successful themeparks are playful by design both in layout, color choice, theming and attractions. It's a playground, but supercharged. Apps and theatre are not inherently playful though can be designed to be.

The question is legitimate and the parenthesis at the end signifies that I am asking the question, fully knowing it's not an easy question to answer. You cannot fight the system without taking part in it. You have no choice. That's why this all sucks.

You are reducing everything I said to the worst interpretation because of a meme existing. That's not really productive and it's still overly reductive of what I said. We *do* get to draw lines in the sand and the examples brought up illustrates that point.

Overly reductive of what I said. But I'm guessing since you posted that, you have no interest in looking at the nuances here.
