  • "Okay, so it starts with a doomsday cult which formed around GameStop..."

  • Your qualifications predate the LLM rot by fucking ages, and your position against them is crystal clear. Given both of those, bypassing that filter should be easy enough.

  • new hires who were seen as “AI natives” are turning out to have alarmingly shallow ideas. So much so, the anonymous finance worker admitted, that his firm now actively avoids seeking out AI-literate STEM graduates, and opts to comb through humanities students instead.

    So not only are STEM graduates (mainly compsci grads) struggling to get jobs as it is, employers are explicitly passing them over for """useless""" humanities degrees instead. I'm not sure whether to laugh at the irony of the situation, or crash out at the fact my own compsci/cybersec degrees may have become a liability.

  • Wednesday’s presentation for 2026 mostly hammers on Son’s love of AI. Son said: [Reuters]

    I think it’s blasphemy against AI if ‌you say it’s a bubble.

    [THIS IS WHAT AI CULTISTS ACTUALLY BELIEVE]

    Also, “The Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs” is a cautionary fable about greed being bad.

    Knowing that would require techbros to actually read, so I'm not shocked

  • Honestly, a black comedy about the rats and/or the AI bubble would probably make bank. The years of sneers people have cooked up on them would provide plenty of material for the writers, and there'd be plenty of catharsis in seeing those responsible get ripped into for 2-ish hours straight.

  • We got a major engine slopifying itself before GTA VI

    I’m pretty sure 2027 will be hilarious for Unreal Engine with AI. And expensive.

    With how much market share Unreal also has, it'll probably cause some major shockwaves in the video game industry as well.

    In the meantime, start learning the Godot engine. Which doesn’t accept AI code. [Godot]

    Godot also released a new version yesterday, so there's another reason to check it out

  • They've gone bankrupt once in '24 , I'd bet good money they're gonna go bankrupt again.

  • I approve of this

  • Remember Crazy Taxi? Its back, infected with AI slop!

    (I saw the massive wave of hype that game's announcement unleashed, and its almost impressive how Sega wiped out every last bit of it with AI.)

  • Oops! All Claude

  • Before, the human was the weakest part of any cybersecurity system. AI changes this.

  • Martin Scorsese's jumped on the AI train, seemingly believing the plagiarism machine can help with storyboarding.

    Obligatory meme (yoinked off Discord's GIF search, AI extruded itself, ironically enough):

  • Before AI, the user was the weakest part of any cybersecurity system. Now, that has completely changed.

  • Roko's Basilisk and other such batshit rat shit was mainstreamed as part of inflating the AI bubble - I doubt this will be the last time something like this gets referenced.

    edit: the in-game painting looks hella AI generated too.

    Seems pretty fitting to an illustration made in reverence to Roko's Bullshittery. I don't notice any obvious signs of slop-machine generation - either I'm shit at spotting slop, or this was made by human hands.
