Yeah creative fuckers those scammers. There’s a fine tradition of them being early adopters for tech that give them edge against their victims.
Innovative mechanics are generally where indies are shining though.
I’m not arguing that some AAA don’t have merits either in play time or other but from a euro per minute of pleasure overall they are not as good as indie games these last 10 or so years.
€30 vs €80 and I can play it hundreds of hours. Is that so hard of an equation ?
I don’t thing the world is so homogeneous that your take is applicable across the board but the overall trend clearly relates to « let’s reduce our human capital ». And a lot of opportunistic small / medium players trying to capitalise on it. With a sprinkle of conviction driven exec borderline on religious fanatisme.
That’s kind of part of criminals business plan not to comply with regulations…
So it’s not actually a downside. Just noise in the background for which we’ll need to cope with. Same companies were already impersonating banks or whatever so the use of AI really is just accessory.
On another hand, knowing when a company is using bots to interface with its customers or when AI is involved into decisions that can impact them that’s a strong benefit for us European.
Damn though the first argument is some LLM is bad pitchfork level comment… it’s not even about functionalities but about how it’s written.
Shouldn’t it be the other way around ?
I don’t think that a sickness is orchestrating all the crap your political leaders are doing.
They are clearly and happily doing all that of their own accord. And they also incidentally instrumentalize and opportunistically benefit from some epidemics.
Yeah… I happened to buy n the night call vinyl not long ago. Perfect title that one. He was also in acting apparently. Really a great artist all around.
Most cyberpunk read today.
How that shit is not illegal is beyond me. Gambling is already predatory but outside of sports and in fucking armed conflicts is abhorrent.
For me it’s a tale about loss of ownership in a dematerialised world. No one is going to cut a piece of my dining table because I own it and physically have it entirely at my side.
I’ll never own (my locally installed) Spotify nor the songs I listen to. Though for the later I have vinyl alternatives which no one is touching.
Not that actually doing it isn’t absolutely horrible but wait till you have children, at about 7yo they invite 8 of their friends in your house and it’s pouring outside.
The idea of sedating them will eventually come in mind. Then obviously you’ll discard it.
And come the moment of cleaning the mess they inevitably leave you’ll wonder if you should have done it.








I’d argue that there’s even less safeguards limiting them but yes that also. They have strong incentives…
