@horrorvisuals It's a real issue, but we can't solve it. People just need to stop being children and giving up the moment they get stuck. I'm not sure this can be fixed on the games end. Even if everything was randomised, the wiki would just list the randomised locations, for instance.
@Anaya_sharma876 I can't wait for all the companies to have major problems, then put out job openings for maintenance programmers, just so we can all collectively tell them "I didn't spend 4 years doing a CS degree so I could fix slop" and let them stew in their own mess like they deserve.
@DannyLimanseta Umm.....we've been able to auto-play Doom for decades. And without spending a fortune in compute. This isn't even news - this is a regression.
@spectragai@ShawnDevDedalus Literally any first year CS student should be able to complete a coding assessment in any language in an interview, even if they've never used it before. "Focus on your tech stack" is a spook that is guaranteed to get you fake candidates that BS their way through it.
@ShawnDevDedalus Unfortunately, the software world has brought this upon itself. I spent the last 4 years trying to get developer jobs and being rejected despite my CS degree because of AI. Now those chickens are roosting. Enjoy your misery.
@janetacarr Even if these games WERE on steam, are these people really delusional enough to think that people will look at their video, go "oh yeah this looks cool" and hit the purchase button? No matter the platform, these are simply going to sit there unsold and forgotten. Like all slop.
@zuess05 Oh you can code, so tell me, when is an array appropriate over a list? Should I use a KY shuffle or something else? Should we create an API using interfaces, or is a subclass good enough? "I can code" is a useless statement if you just type into a prompt and don't know anything.
@Alex1here Stackoverflow did a study and found that the majority of skilled developers actually work slower when AI is involved because they have to fix it's errors. AI is only useful as a crutch for bad developers. There's a reason computer scientists hate it and don't use it.
@NanskiO Here's the actual play:
1. Run a scam to convince people to give you lots of money
2. Promise big results for even more money
3. Slow down as you hit the limits, well below eveeyones expectations
4. Find an excuse to "slow down" right before an IPO, rather than admit failure
@Stevie_658jjh I don't get it. What exactly is impressive about this? That it can generate an image by controlling an application? We've had image generation and application remote control for 3 decades now. This is nothing but a flashy spectacle designed to fool idiots who don't know anything
