If only some sort of newfangled technology could come along

Sweeney is such a dishonest and corrupt piece of shit, a very typical retrograde American oligarch.
in what way was he dishonest or corrupt?
sure his statement is ridiculous but it doesnt make him dishonest or corrupt
EDIT: people. i asked a question. the guy answered my question. i cant u derstand the need to downvote because i dont know something.
Corrupt:
That’s just the annoying American style of corruption (I say this as someone who is not American but who has lived in North America for ~10 years).
Dishonest:

Specifically:
This is a vile lie by PC Gamer. I criticized a government official for pressuring Apple and Google to block a speech app owned by their political opponent, deplatforming 500,000,000 users on the pretense of stopping a small number of users from distributing disgusting content.
This is clear bullshit aimed at local (i.e. American) degenerates.
When Elon Musk went on a crusade against texty (a tiny Ukrainian new source), did genuine free speech believer Tim Sweeney care? Of course not, because American polemics about alleged beliefs in “free speech” are lies.
Most American political arguments are lies
Don’t worry, the votes are meaningless
Tims bad. Gaben good.
I am not a Valve fanboy.
They are only sort of OK when viewed in comparison to other American technology oligarch groups. I even hesitate to use the term “OK” in this context.
Valve is the best gaming company, who has a storefront (and even consoles / systems to sell). All other suck in comparison and I think Valve is good for the entire gaming industry and the gamers.
Indeed. Even stuff like their casino side business with CS skins seems to be often downplayed.
It’s funny because originally I didn’t understand how it was different and when it was explained to me in a factual way I did understand and changed my view and people really don’t like that.
You don’t have to like Gaben to see that Tim is much worse. Tim only cares about business. That’s why Epic store is great for publishers and developers and dogshit for customers, because Tim doesn’t see you as nothing more than cattle. Your interests don’t matter, you’re just a vessel to extract money from. You can dislike Gaben all you want but Valve at least treats you like a customer.
Yes, that’s why Gaben good and Tims bad.
There are no good billionaires, period.
Everyone has their own opinion. period.
There is no such thing as a good billionaire and to say otherwise is just lickspittle behavior. Gabe does not care about you.
As said, everyone has their own opinion what constitutes to “good” and “bad”.
Destiny 2 died BECAUSE of soulless, maligned, pathetic, ignorant, coward, contrived, boring, corrupt, greedy, pussy, dick, anus farts like Sweeney. Epic belongs in the fucking grave.
May they rest in piss.
If there were anyone who needed to hire a PR firm to handle all of their public-facing communications, Tim Sweeney is it, because every time I read a news article that starts “Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney Says…”, it is always (from my memory, at least) the dumbest and/or most infuriating bullshit you’ve ever heard from someone who is, notionally, supposed to sell customers on their products or services.
Someone on his staff really needs to tell him to shut the fuck up.
[ Everyone disliked that.]
“Tim Sweeney claims that the technology he is behind will be a cure-all. Somehow reporters think that a CEO backing their own business venture is newsworthy.”
What a dog shit take damn
Even someone who likes AI knows games don’t write themselves.
I’m really trying to think if his comments are aimed at investors for bringing in new funding and consolidate AI games on his platform but even he should know that just makes him the AI guy people don’t wanna associate with. It’s puzzling that I don’t get the strategy here.
hey now but what if I want my code to be like
if gun.is_valid and not gun == null and gun.id != null: shoot() func shoot(): fire(gun): func fire(gun): if gun.is_valid and not gun == null and gun.id != null: weapon_activate(gun)to think, all this mad scrabbling for AI right as people are galvanizing against it’s outsized costs and complete lack of a useful endgame. Great timing Timmy.
Being a CEO is so easy a job, even the brain-dead can do it!
AI is best at being a CEO
Tim Sweeney? The Tim Sweeney who argued that Roblox wasn’t a platform used by pedophiles to groom minors and exploiting child labor laws? That Tim Sweeney?
Ugh, once again Tim Sweeney is being not only disingenuous, but also letting shit spill from his mouth. His desperation knows no bounds. If only people would just mock this idiot more.
but also letting shit spill from his mouth.
When you’re so full, it overflows
Has Tim Weeny ever thought that maybe he should just shut the fuck up?
I don’t know what his point is. That we can mass produce slop for the lowest common denominator without needing to pay anyone? I legitimately don’t understand who he thinks he’s talking to! None of the players who would be fine with slop are listening (by definition), and he can talk to his rich buddies without the bad PR. And those are the only two groups who could possibly stand to benefit from what he’s suggesting.
It’s hilarious watching these rich CEOs try to tow this narrative on their own and failing. LLMs have limited usefulness and we all know it.
Too bad Epic is kept alive by children buying skins and silly dances who aren’t old enough to care about how sick that company has become
Barf barf barf
