"Hey we (I) fucked up. We're listening to what the fans want, we will move forward and remove all AI from our production line."

And then earn that good will you squandered back by fucking sticking to it.

Not hard. We're literally just asking you to keep doing what you were *already doing.*

4/4

Fully willing to admit that I have bias here. I love Larian and I want to see them pull out of this nosedive. I will give them the rope...

But I'm not gonna pretend they won't potentially hang themselves with it.

Get your fucking shit together, Swen, and listen to what your fans are saying.

3/4

Which to be clear is NOT GOOD. I would much prefer a statement of intent to not use AI at all...

Just saying this is not the most *heinous* take in the world.

STILL A BAD ONE, THOUGH.

Even still, the response to this transcript makes it clear that this grave is fucking *dug.*

2/4

The clear implication from the statements that this was a from the top down CEO pushing AI onto the workers ("Push back "Everyone's more or less okay with it") means there's gotta be Larian employees going through bitter sweet schadenfreude with a "Welp, knew this would blow up in our faces."

I made it, was able to sneak in a 40 minute power nap before hand to keep myself alert through the call. Just of COURSE today when I'm both sleepy yet buzzed with caffeine I get the response from a job application I figured was dead on the vine last week.

Least I'm not tired anymore.

Bill Burr is interesting because he always seems to be just about to have an epiphany and then never does.
