Hyperstar

Hello i'm a solo gamedev, i've been working on a very cool thing using my hands and brain.
I've been lurking for a long time, you'll see more from me soon!

@corax42 @Jerma985 It's just scary enough.

It's pretty simple.

AI has destroyed the internet and all trust in the people and contents of it. You can no longer trust anything that has been submitted to you on it nor that you find on your own. There is a pre-nuclear steel cutoff point at which the age of a post has become an element in its trustworthiness. That destruction has taken out the work of creating those things and removed humans from the process because greed told business owners they could do it cheaper this way but it just made everything way worse.

And because it kind of sucks but does a passable job if you squint, it's replaced a tonne of juniors while still requiring seniors to oversee it, thus interrupting the flow of juniors who could become seniors and choking off the natural lifecycle of human progression required to have continued service. When the seniors retire we will not have new ones to replace them and their capabilities will be lost forever.

The ability to make kinda shitty versions of stuff and carry on conversations has automated theft, fraud, harassment, and political manipulation on a scale previously unimaginable. Computers that were once deterministic will now lie to you with the confidence of a con-man. The greed and manipulative accounting of shifting revenue around has destroyed consumer computer markets and people can no longer afford what they need to work, or play, once again driving people back into the arms of business owners who can't wait to rent it to you for a subscription. And because investor eyes light up at the new Flavor Of The Month (like they did with blockchain before it) it's being jammed in everywhere it doesn't belong and now every product you liked is worse.

Search doesn't even work anymore and attempting to use any of the AI chatbots for this removes the element of context from your ability to determine trustworthiness of a source, because there isn't one. It's a remix of a remix of a remix, reconstituted from parts, and the average it makes from the slop could be true or it could be full of shit, which is way worse than having to evaluate multiple real human points of view to construct your own. We are taking the averages of averages away from the contexts within which the data points were made in the first place then wondering why everything is slightly wrong now.

And to achieve all this, unaccountable tech billionaires have stolen generations of work from creatives, technicals, and anyone else with a "who will stop us" attitude, making it clear to everyone that the rule of law is over because there's so much profit available it's in their best interests to just ignore it. They know this now, and they will keep doing it forever. We have rewarded the very worst behavior from the very worst people and what little power the individuals had has been transferred back to more corporations.

AI is a race to make everything worse for everyone while a handful get rich, and if you have to stick your fingers in your ears to pretend you just 'dont get why people dont like it' I have more respect for the people doing that evil on purpose than I do for you.

@splaffinator The hitting-sword-against-wall anim instantly reminded me of NP:TDF haha. I'm so glad to see other devs drawing inspiration from that wonderful lil game.

@egoraptor Those people are a vast, vast minority compared to the general public who are totally uninformed on AI and its shortcomings.
I think that, unfortunately, the moralizing and fearmongering IS what's needed to produce the due caution people ought be having towards this tech.
