then why did they self report the label? they're not required to disclose tool use, so either they're lying or they're stupid, which is it?

[Steph @hazelphoenixx]

People don’t read, and if they read, they stop at “AI” and don’t think. Headlines like this don’t help either, cause it’s clearly stated that every single placeholder AI asset used to speed up the process was replaced by human work, meaning the final product has no AI. Non-issue.

[Shane @Luminoth82]

do you have any idea how hard it is to engagement farm if you behave like a well adjusted adult???

[BossLogic @Bosslogic]

If there is a video game you don't like.
Don't play it. Simple.

Imagine paying $20/month for Claude when you can just ask questions to the Chipotle customer support bot and get Opus 4.8 for free

the way we thrive on rebuilding the wheel in complete isolation everywhere we go, I think this has always been an obvious outcome

[Ben Horne @benjamin_horne]

As a programmer, I don't think this is far off from what's actually happening.

For reasons that now feel overdetermined (codebases = 100% of context, verifiability, etc.) software development was/is uniquely shaped to get eaten up by LLMs.

But almost no other fields/industries are shaped in this way, except for a few select niches like translation, low complexity customer support tickets, etc.

Sure, everyone uses LLMs for the specific things LLMs are actually quite good at (e.g. summarizing documents, translating things, searching the web for you, proof reading important emails before sending, etc.) but the only full-blown industry where LLMs truly thrive *at the core value proposition* of said industry is... software.

Because us software engineers and other tech people are insufferable and think we're the center of the universe, we just assume automatically that it's only a matter of time before LLMs make the leap into other areas of the economy, and disrupt them like they've disrupted coding.

"Surely if LLMs can put a dent in *my* job, it's only a matter of time before they do the same to others!"

Idk... I'm just not seeing this yet.

[Shane @Luminoth82]

you can get surprisingly far on eg sonnet for very little spend. managing model usage is its own skill

[Ben Dickson @bendee983]

We're in weird times. AI labs continue to compete on frontier LLMs, creating larger models and more expensive models that one-up each other on key industry benchmarks.

Meanwhile, the developer community is finding out that they don't need the absolute best LLM for every task. As AI subsidies come to an end, a lot of people are finding out that a cheaper and smaller model can accomplish most of their everyday tasks without torching their wallets.

Spending habits will be adjusted. Meanwhile, the AI labs need to hype their LLMs to grab attention and funding for their next generation of AI models. I think there will be a gradual slowdown and a return to sanity where you're not under the constant fear of AI disrupting everything every six months.

[Shane @Luminoth82]

@ARIANARCHIST ok and? did you just stop reading halfway through or something?

[Shane @Luminoth82]

imagine if {different game} did {thing that different game doesn't do} is an insane comparison to make. do you get upset when Diablo does things PoE wouldn't do also?

[ARIANARCHY⛧ @ARIANARCHIST]

imagine if tarkov was like sorry for day 1 of wipe issues here everyone can have 7 free kits full of altyns and level 5 armors also labs is now free and pve only for a limited time

[Shane @Luminoth82]

the mode is gone in 5 days, not 3 weeks. all of you need to calm down and get some air in your lungs

[brendan! @personalhimbo]

🤓”did you know it’s only for a week for the new players”

ok! hope we enjoy burning out half the regular playerbase in 3 weeks bc they’re getting cryo-level loot in literally private lobbies!

like all sense of progression has been destroyed lol

Hunter Biden is proof that posters are born not built. Musk will never achieve 1/10th of this guy’s ability

[Shane @Luminoth82]

steam doesn't require a flag for AI assisted tools, so either they're lying or they fucked up self reporting on it

[bean 😼 @BeansGoodTakes]

i hate AI as much as the next guy but people on this app keep reading “AI assisted tools” wrong. they don’t mean the entire game or even the artistic vision of the game is AI generated

[Sensurround @ShamashAran]

Can we PLEASE
for the love of all that his holy
STOP NORMALIZING THIS INSTALL METHOD

[Shane @Luminoth82]

I feel like a lot of stuff happens in the inefficiency of that communication and losing that probably isn't great

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Martin Scorsese has joined a generative AI startup as a partner and advisor.

He adds that he has used AI during pre-production to help with storyboarding — “with this tool, I can share what I’m visualizing more clearly & efficiently to my creative team — the production designer, art designer and cinematographer.”

this really is where it all went wrong isn't it. wwe died the minute that music hit and we've been watching it from hell ever since

[Ace Humphreys 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🦢 @Ace109610]

WWE has never recovered from this

[Shane @Luminoth82]

steam doesn't require disclosure of AI tool use so either they're lying or they flagged themselves for no reason?

[Eurogamer @eurogamer]

Crystal Dynamics has responded to its use of AI in Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, telling Eurogamer "we leverage AI tools to help our teams iterate on ideas faster and more efficiently, while ensuring that all finished content in the final product is human-crafted" https://t.co/UOhoz6p0ad

[Shane @Luminoth82]

there was a massive exploit in Instagram this week because of exactly this what the actual fuck are you talking about

[Dr Alexander D. Kalian @AlexanderKalian]

Companies keep on blaming AI for their mass layoffs.

Do any of you actually know a single person who was replaced with AI?

I don't and neither do you. It's nonsense - AI is not there yet, and citing it is just an excuse for corporates to behave badly.

[Shane @Luminoth82]

I stg this process should be illegal. I am so tired of these tech companies opaquely burning vc money to rug pull all of us when it runs out

[Frank Rundatz @FrankRundatz]

“Penetration pricing” is the term used when a company burns through Venture Capital money selling a product under its cost to build market share.

Remember how cheap Uber and Lyft used to be? VCs subsidized the drivers and the riders for years. Then they went public and now it costs me $20 for a 3 minute ride down the road.

DoorDash, Uber Eats, Instacart.

MoviePass, Netflix, Hulu.

All of these companies sold below cost to get market share then massively raised their prices, added ads, diminished their products, etc.

AI today is no different. OpenAI and Anthropic are giving us all cheap rides. To do that, they’re selling $1.00 for 10 cents.

Get it while you can before a different kind of penetration begins.

[Shane @Luminoth82]

"never came up" amazing this guy is allowed to run a business

[Business Insider @BusinessInsider]

Sam Altman said AI budgeting has recently become a "huge issue" for some companies, something that "never came up" earlier this year. https://t.co/P2zODBNmDp

[Shane @Luminoth82]

I don't know what the point of this is because employed people would like to max those out as well before the season ends

[mori @maevesfw]

im already maxed on 2/6 cradle paths

pretty far with many factions

saw tons of golds and got a little pile of prestige materials too

6 misriahs :)

i didnt even play good today, lost many games yet this is what i got :///

day 1 btw

[Shane @Luminoth82]

dope shit like this makes me wish we could save this stuff off for each shell on its own

[Poof 🦇 @SailorPoof]

beautiful things happening in my customization
