Had a good time with The Cat Lady tonight. We killed our first parasite of 7. We had a little crashout. We met Mitzi. We got captured by pest control. We also learned not to feed the trolls. Thanks to @BakedLinguini for the repost. We raided @PixelKitten5
Term of the Week:
Mass Media Extinction Event
A technological milestone similar to the event horizon, defining the point where the Creator->Hub->Consumer market collapses due to the ease of media generation by an end user.
It defines the point after companies attempt to replace artists with AI, at which point consumers realize they can replace companies.
During this time, the net worth of just about every intellectual property hits 0, outside of what value the consumer puts in a distinct directorial vision. Everything else is effectively replicate-able with minimal effort.
On the positive, this completely destroys almost all attack vectors from outside influences; simply put, there will simply be too many properties, with too little value, spread out too thin for a outsider to find value in infiltration.
On the negative, basically no artist or property is likely getting famous ever again.
As someone who has listened to actual kids talk about what games they'd make. Yes, it's nearly 100% stuff like this.
Half the people bitching about this literally grew up on "Barney Murder Simulator", and "X kid character, but adult humor".
Let people have fun.
