Epic Games has reportedly delayed a shooter based on Disney’s Marvel and Star Wars franchises, with its developers told to use more AI. According to Bloomberg, the yet-to-be-named game was supposed to be released in March of 2027, but its launch date has been pushed back to an unspecified date. Aside from that, the company also told the people working on the project to switch to an "AI first" production model. One of the game directors was quoted telling staff that there will be “no more handwritten code” and that the game’s art would now be "generated with full AI workflows."

The question is, was 2008 a housing bubble, or a banking scandal?

The market didn't become too much for consumers or sellers, overloading and resulting in rapid price deflation (eg. A bubble popping).

Instead Banks were doing dodgy accounting so that poor people were getting loans they shouldn't have been eligible for.

In fact, maybe we should have legalized some of what the banks were trying to do. Poor people getting a chance to buy the worst homes, the banks facing costs and fuss if they can't pay up. The burden of the housing crisis should be shifted a bit more onto banks and billionaires.
