Tim Sweeney can go eat a dick

[-] SpaceScotsman@startrek.website 62 points 5 days ago

Sugars and additives are in nearly all foods, maybe we should stop asking manufacturers to disclose it on the ingredients list.

Even if that did happen, it wouldn't defeat the point of the disclosures at all. In fact, people will appreciate it all the more if a game is made without any AI involvement and it will become a selling point.

[-] Carnelian@lemmy.world 102 points 5 days ago

Plus, shouldn’t he want that information to be front and center anyway if he actually thinks it’s a good thing?

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 49 points 5 days ago

He, like the that Microsoft suit, has just enough awareness to realize how AI is being thought of by the general public, and knows it would affect his bottom line. Which is really all he cares about.

I only play organic games.

This is why Epic is losing lol

[-] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 days ago

Agreed.
What does it cost them to make a checkbox and show the value to the customer?

If they fear it, they know that the knowledge will make me think twice on buying it.

[-] hayvan@feddit.nl 11 points 4 days ago

Bad title, he's not an epic CEO at all.

[-] thingsiplay@beehaw.org 124 points 5 days ago

I'm glad that Tim Sweeny and its Epig Games Store is not the market leader.

[-] thingsiplay@beehaw.org 53 points 5 days ago

lol I just found my 7 year old post on Reddit (when Reddit was cool) of a Epig Games logo creation: https://www.reddit.com/r/fuckepic/comments/bvw5ru/epig_games/

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 26 points 5 days ago

But pigs are cute :(

Why associate them with such a shit company?

[-] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 33 points 5 days ago

yea that's just playing on semantics. Of course machine learning will keep assisting many different workflows, thank you Tim.
Go ahead with your ML-assisted procedural animations, your ML-enhanced denoising, your ML-powered stochastic mesh pruning.

What people don't want is generated visuals/music that try and pass off as art. I'd love to summon debility to explain that the ruling class doesn't get it, but they do -it's a convenient way for them to save on human labor that is also... just too tempting to use for replacing art as well.

Tim Fashy again demonstrates why Steam is as successful as it is without a monopoly.

Also, another reason to never, ever do anything to do with epic, proven by the Chief Enslavement Officer itself.

[-] nuko147@lemmy.world 38 points 5 days ago

Yes, like we don't have Handmade tags in products...

I dont know about the future, but a "No AI-Art" tag, makes sense to me.

[-] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 55 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

If most games will contain AI content, then an "AI-free" badge couldn't be more important. He must understand that that statement is a complete logical fallacy, right?

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 27 points 5 days ago

It's Tim Sweeney, he doesn't understand where the sun goes at night.

PC gamers (sample size: at least 1) say they struggle to think of anything valuable that Tim Sweeney has ever said.

[-] apotheotic@beehaw.org 26 points 5 days ago

Up that sample size to 2 baybee

And people wonder why Epic games has the smallest market share of all the game stores

[-] Reference4054@lemmy.zip 12 points 5 days ago

Yeah, I can't imagine why people aren't flocking to the Epic Store. Must be Valves fault.

Information good. Hiding information bad. Nefarious intentions.

[-] Durandal@lemmy.today 56 points 5 days ago

We're seeing the rise of push back against AI gen stuff... https://www.theverge.com/entertainment/827650/indie-developers-gen-ai-nexon-arc-raiders

Doubling down on the glazing of the ai bubble is pretty on brand for him. In before "tim sues steam for spurious claims against ai" or some other bullshit.

Sidenote: IsThereAnyDeal.com has the steam ai declarations as part of the quick reference section on game pages now. https://mastodon.social/@isthereanydeal/115606686918493913

[-] artyom@piefed.social 52 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

If it's available in "nearly all" development then you can switch the tag to say "no AI" and then I can continue discovering and buying games that don't have that BS.

But we all know, as does Sweeney, that that's a lie. And also that I wouldn't shop for games on Epic Store anyway, for reasons just like this.

there should be a law that says all CEOs must shut the fuck up always and forever

[-] Sunsofold@lemmings.world 3 points 3 days ago

SEC rule update: All stock shares current or future issued, are non-voting shares. Shareholders cannot be trusted to select good operators.

Tax law change: worker cooperatives have 50% reduced tax burden. CEOs are a burden, not a resource.

And wonder why Steam is succeeded but Epic is an AI slop wasteland

[-] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 38 points 5 days ago

Then put the disclaimer in all games? So what, not like they're limited quantity

[-] KiwiTB@lemmy.world 44 points 5 days ago

Tim continues to not 'read the room'

This is just one of many examples on why epic is inferior

[-] GLOOMSDAY@lemmy.world 24 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Using AI for checking a code, and then double checking it yourself is different than some waste of sperm dictating prompts to AI, and telling his friends at parties while high on ketamine adderol and coke "this is going to be the next Morrowind x Cyberpunk x Mario Brother Kart Theft Auto" is the AI badge Valve is talking about.

[-] imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 5 days ago

Tim: Valve doesn't understand the market. AI is going to lead gaming industry.

Also Tim: VALVE IS A MONOPOLY AND SHOULD SEIZE TO EXIST.

And CEOs will be the easiest position to replace with AI. Can't wait for the share holders to figure that out.

[-] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Lucky for them, I won't buy any new games. Too many fantastic older games to play that they didn't cheat and cut corners to produce.

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Just go ahead and admit you can't sell games anymore sweeney.

[-] Angelevo@feddit.nl 18 points 5 days ago

More info = good.

[-] myfunnyaccountname@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 days ago

He is funded by tencent. Of course he will push ai.

[-] DupaCycki@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago

The head of the second most child-predatory company that people basically only use for free games is a bad actor. Who could have guessed?

[-] Jhex@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago

Sweeney is not very smart, is he?

[-] PearOfJudes@lemmy.ml 12 points 5 days ago

Steam is my favourite multi-billion dollar monopoly 😌

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 24 points 5 days ago

Never buy another Epic game again, understood!

[-] HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 26 points 5 days ago

They make sense because we don't want your AI shit Sweeney

[-] Nils@lemmy.ca 24 points 5 days ago

Then some clueless person complains that Steam dominates the market. When Epic is constantly shooting their foot.

People like to make informed decisions and those labels help. In proper countries even beer have content labels to say if there is rice or corn with the barley.
