Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

The Build A Rocket Boy white text on black background message, which is clearly a screenshot of a document complete with squiggly underlines for grammar errors, the important bit of which reads:
As leaders we take responsibility for the outcomes of our projects and the decisions that follow. At the same time, the launch period was affected by factors beyond normal operational challenges and a competitive environment.

Over the past months we have been working with external partners and legal advisors to investigate the criminal activity that took place around our launch. That work has taken far longer than expected, but it has now resulted in overwhelming evidence of organised espionage and corporate sabotage affecting MindsEye. Because this matter
is moving toward prosecution, we cannot share the full details publicly yet.

While the investigation has progressed, the team has worked relentlessly to evolve the game and to serve our players. I am incredibly proud of the dedication and resilience our developers have shown.
However, the prolonged impact of the difficult launch means that we still had to take the brutal and heartbreaking step of reducing the size of the studio once again to ensure the long-term future of the company and the projects we continue to build.

To everyone affected: thank you. Your work and creativity helped shape this studio and we will do everything we can to support you in finding your next opportunity.

My thoughts today are first and foremost with the people leaving the team. We will also be sharing details of affected team members with communities that actively support developers during transitions, to help connect people with new opportunities.

the only thing funnier than the ceo of build a rocket boy raving paranoia about saboteurs sabotaging minds eye from within would be if saboteurs ACTUALLY HAD sabotaged minds eye from within

some of us thrive in a little chaos!!!! if i don't have visual noise and little trinkets to fiddle with then it's harder to concentrate. if i can't see the thing physically in front of me then it ceases to exist. there's method to the madness, for me at least

I'm trying to understand how revenue works when you have both Steam and a publisher involved.

Most of the footage of the famous 2000 "Super Mario 128" tech demo was recorded with handheld cameras by the audience, with the presenter drowning out the game sound. Only 10 seconds of direct feed footage exist, which reveal that the sound was a cacophony of Marios screaming.

The UK government is looking to make legal for AI companies that which any ordinary citizen could be taken to court for. It is on the cusp of approving theft *only* in this case, a truly unequivocal โ€œrules for thee, not for meโ€ scenario.

That AI needs such special treatment indicts it utterly.
