After multiple AAA game failures, venture capital companies and corporations decided that games are to complicated compared to music and video. Solution, make games like video and music. Regulations are needed to reduce number of key presses in games to ensure all games are inclusive to all type of audience. Maybe that pressing keys is form of aggression, that’s why I needed to hire someone to play games for me, we need to fight with that with technology said prominent gamer and billionaire Gamelon Musk
This industry is going to shit. I need a new career
Why?
The real answer:
companies put billions into the AI craze hoping to achieve AGI and ‘winning’ the race to stop the open internet from existing, and capturing every user into their controlled bubble.
Now that the reality of LLMs not being able to deliver that, they need to find some excuse to explain why that was not a dumb investment.
The real real answer:
Companies don’t care whether AGI is ever achieved. All that matters to them is to look hype and fresh enough that investors think they will the AI race.
Large companies don’t care about the product, they don’t care about the customer, they don’t even care about whether they will ever make money. They are just a horse to bet on for investors, so all they care about is looking good in a way that investors dump their money into the company.
It’s nothing else than NFTs but for people with actually serious money.
Oh but if they could create an assistant that would do 100% of tech interactions with you, from web searches to shopping to communication, they would capture the entire globe by the balls forever.
And that is a sweet deal. I expect OpenAI to start selling ad slots in their responses, just because they already are a brand name and most people don’t use other bots. And I expect it to spread everywhere.
My hope for humanity has fallen so low, that I expect people to just accept it all.
I believe Microsoft introduced a similar feature into Windows 11 not too long ago, and because cramming as much “AI” as possible into everything is kinda all Software companies do at the moment
Cramming useless, unwanted bloat into existing products is what corporations do when they’ve lost the ability to innovate but don’t want to admit it.
Manufacturers do the same thing. I spent a couple of years at a company that makes industrial power tools. Those jokers tried adding a line of “smart” tools, apparently not understanding that people don’t buy a tool that costs thousands of dollars because of some irrational compulsion to connect everything to WiFi. They do it because they need a tool that stands up to a highly abusive environment while doing it’s job every single time without fail. Management was somehow shocked when this new point of failure was not well received.
they know thier AI isnt profitable, so they try to justify its cost by adding it to anything to keep the scheme going.
Wifi I general is just…
The only wifi capable device I have in my home is my phone. I don’t want it anything.
Who asked for this? So much for user led design.
As a ux design graduate I realized that my degree is absolutely useless so I switched to IT. Not a single company now gives a flying fuck about what users want or how to design things to help users.
As a user and developer, I respect you and mourn for you.
Useless answer but you should know that UX is still important in medical devices and software. Good luck anyway.
Shareholder-led design.
Bigtech wants YOU to train their AI in any way possible. And YOU will pay for it.
It is meant for all the noobs who complained about Silk Song last week.
You thought the game was overheating your phone? Now you won’t even be able to hold it!
You are no longer playing a game if AI is watching over you and telling you what to do. Backseat driver much??? Maybe just let AI play the game and go do something more fun.
The “AI” can have all the fun doing my creative hobbies and I’ll go do something it can’t, like working overtime in the mines.
“Google thinks you suck at games and need AI to backseat you”
It’s not wrong, but I still don’t want it!
I can’t wait until þis irresistible force collides wiþ þe immoveable object of DRM-based anti-cheat.

Why are you happy about that change?
