tbf from everything i understand, discord is basically never or rarely profitable and has to take investor money more or less yearly to stay afloat so like "i get it" but it just basically guarantees a bad time for users

here’s the full spew
Daniel Vávra This Al hysteria is the same as when people were smashing steam engines in the 19th century. @LarAtLarian said they were doing something that absolutely everyone else is doing and got an insanely crazy shitstorm. I've even seen someone accuse us of using Al in KCD2. I don't know anything about it, except that I used Topaz Labs to upscale some of the Al elements from KCD1 and some of the old low res textures. I'm no fan of Al generated art, but anyway, it's time to face reality. Al is here to stay with us. As frightening as it may be, that's the way it is. Personally, it scares me the most in the music because you can't even recognise Al there anymore. On the other hand, you know what I hate most about making games? The fact that it takes 7 years and 300 people and tens of millions of dollars to make. And the fact that Tom had to spend 500 hours in the studio recording completely generic heckling and generic bars. If Al can help me make an epic game in a year with a smaller team like in the old days, I'm all for it. That game will still have an art director, writers, programmers, graphic designers, but they won't have to do the tiresome and boring tasks, they'll have to focus on the essentials. I have ideas for lots of games, but I'm fifty years old and so far it's taken me seven years on average to make one game. If Al helps me realize those ideas faster, I'm all for it.

the lead schmuck from warhorse studios (kingdom come deliverance) identifying a real issue (budgets and dev lengths are too high and long), misconstruing it’s nature (it’s “fact”??? that it has to be this way??), and coming to the conclusion that the dead brain plagiarism bot is our savior. fuck off

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen slop as the 2025 Word of the Year. We define slop as “digital content of low quality that is produced usually in quantity by means of artificial intelligence.” All that stuff dumped on our screens, captured in just four letters: the English language came through again.
