they still said that they love Google and use all of its products — they just didn’t expect it to release a program that can make a massive error such as this, especially because of its countless engineers and the billions of dollars it has poured into AI development.
I honestly don’t understand how someone can exist on the modern Internet and hold this view of a company like Google.
How? How?
I’ve never played this game and don’t know anything about it that I didn’t just read in the article… but there’s just something so rad about a game called “Let it Die” having such a graceful end-of-life plan like this.

Then what’s OpenAI’s excuse?
Considering the number of NMS updates that are just back-ported features that were created for Light No Fire, I suspect the game loop will be pretty much the same as what we already have in NMS
Wait… are you telling me that an agency named after a meme was fundamentally unserious??
What’s to stop some pedo from just holding a picture of a child up to the camera to subvert the face verification?
Exactly. The H1-B program has been so abused by the tech industry that it’s basically just indentured servitude.
Bring in low-cost labor from India, including their families, then tie their visa status to their employment so that if they’re ever fired, they immediately get deported. Those workers are going to be too scared to demand better wages/benefits for fear of being fired, which drives down the cost of labor for US citizens in the same industry who now have to compete for jobs against these workers.
And all the while, companies get to “sane wash” what is essentially the same thing as the “outsourcing” that they were all so maligned for in the 2000s.

Maybe the needle really is shifting.
The guy that created the subreddit, Violentacrez, was also the “victim” of an expose by Gawker who found out his real life identity. Reddit tried protecting him by banning links to Gawker when the article came out.
I remember when this happened. Violentacrez himself showed up in one of the threads that didn’t get nuked and tried to defend himself. I remember his (heavily down-voted) comments all being surrounded by dozens and dozens of [deleted] comments — presumably people attacking him for being a pedo piece of shit.
I’d never heard of the guy before, but I was so disgusted by the story and by his attempts to justify himself that I went back through weeks of his old posts, down-voting everything.
The next day, I came back to a week-long temp ban from Reddit for vote manipulation. Fuckers.
he lauded Reddit as being “for humans by humans” and seemed to take a subtle dig at AI slop (the low-quality AI content clogging corners of the internet)
That’s pretty funny coming from the CEO of a platform that was already overrun by low-effort bots even before AI slop became a thing…
I always cringe a little bit when someone says a person has ‘become a parody of themselves’… but honestly, what else is there to say about Molyneaux?
Peter Molyneaux really has become a parody of Peter Molyneaux.
I’m 1000% sure Molyneaux is gonna try to use AI to develop as much of this new game as possible.
I’m not sure that Pete has actually played a game he wasn’t directly involved with since like… 2010?
What we’ve seen of his new game really isn’t that interesting in the modern landscape. Maybe a decade ago it would have been fresh and had enough of a hook to compete for gamers’ attention, but today? It looks pretty forgettable.
Then when you consider Molyneux’s propensity towards feature creep, it’s probably safe to assume that even if the game is a ‘success’ by most conventional metrics, it won’t be profitable because the amount of money spent to make the damn thing will have been completely insane.

To an extent, I think that’s already happening. ChatGPT5 released with a huge amount of hype, but when users started playing with it, it was incredibly underwhelming — and flat-out worse than 4 in many cases… all while burning though even more tokens than ever. Definitely seems like that capabilities of this technology have hit a plateau that won’t be solved with more training.
OpenAI optimistically believes it might start being profitable in 2029.
Which is absolutely buck wild when you consider they’ve already signed contacts to spend another trillion dollars over the next five years.
How the fuck is a company that has $5 billion in revenue today going to grow that revenue by at minimum $995 billion by 2029? There’s just no fucking way, man…
