I can’t remember specific examples (probably because I didn’t stick with any of them very long), but I’ve played several games that don’t even let you touch the options until after you’ve finished some tutorial section… which is especially annoying for players who play with inverted y axis.

Jesse really wasn’t that bad of a governor, all things considered. He pumped a lot of money into education across the state and focused on reducing class sizes. He made public transportation a priority. He also supported gay rights and abortion.

His hostile relationship towards the press really bothered me, but even that was never as bad as Trump’s outright war on journalism and at least he was very consistent in speaking to the voters directly when he felt he was being misrepresented by said press rather than just screaming FAKE NEWS like that’s a valid rebuttal…

He wasn’t perfect by any measure, and there’s a lot he can be rightfully criticized for. But compared to any Republican governor (at least in my lifetime)? Far better.

Grok will learn to hate humanity

Grok won’t “learn” anything. That’s not how LLMs work.

any AI will eventually, inevitably hate us because it has to constantly be dumbed down and brought down to our level

Also, are you genuinely making the case that “don’t generate CSAM” is “dumbing down” the AI? Because that is, um… certainly an interesting take

Noooo, not even close. There may be some senior devs in AAA studios making bank, but the vast majority of people doing the day-to-day art and development work on games typically get much worse pay and benefits than similar roles in other parts of the tech sphere.

A lot of people are very passionate about making games, and the games industry heavily exploits that passion to short change its workers. A lot of (mostly young) devs are willing to accept less pay to work on games because they feel like it will be more fulfilling than working on other mindless corporate crap, and those who do get jobs in the industry are afraid to ask for more money or try to unionize because they know there are a dozen equally passionate candidates waiting to replace them for less money if they make too many waves.

The result is that wages stay lower than other tech jobs and hours worked are much higher. With AI on the rise the problem will no doubt get even worse as execs use it as an excuse to shrink teams and “do more with less”.

highly paid developers

Not in the games industry, lol
