He keeps shooting himself in the foot and all of his other parts of his body at this point
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
Now wait, if the AI had fired Sweeney early on it might have worked out.
Go for it Tim! Go all in, really doesn't affect me.
Crack on mate we'll see what happens.
Man... Sweeney is starting to go from 'contemptible' to 'pitiable'.
That is such a desperate and obviously stupid thing to say that I do actuslly just feel sad for him at this point.
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.
Fuck off Timmy.
AI would have killed it faster than Bungie did.
Tim Sweeney can get fucked. Every time he opens his mouth, a bunch of vile bullshit spews out.
I like AI or more specifically, LLMs. I find them useful in a mundane sort of way.
And I can tell you that AI would not have saved Destiny 2, a game that's been out for nine years, from the poor and greedy decisions made by Bungie and Sony.
Destiny 2 declined because of bad leadership. Nothing more. There was nothing philosophically or technically wrong with the game itself.
Destiny 2 declined because of bad leadership.
Maybe Sweeney meant that even an LLM would have made better decisions than current leadership? :D
I know Tim Sweeney drives an Orange McLaren up vote this if you like me to key it …
Paint stripper
I mean the destiny 2 gameplay loop is just repetitive reiteration variations on a theme, it's the perfect vehicle for ai
Can someone check on Mr Sweeny. I'm Serious. I think he is showing cult like behavior for an industry that is due to implode any day now.
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.
Has Tim Weeny ever thought that maybe he should just shut the fuck up?
Being a CEO is so easy a job, even the brain-dead can do it!
AI is best at being a CEO
Destiny died for me the moment they started taking away content I paid for. Destiny was at its peak at the end of D1. The expansions were good, the events were fun, they found a rhythm. Then the beginning of D2 was a big step back and we had to figure it all out again.
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.
Sweeney is such a dishonest and corrupt piece of shit, a very typical retrograde American oligarch.

[ Everyone disliked that.]
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.

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?
That's going to land well 🤣
"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."
Tim Sweeny must have been a very slippery baby.
I hate this man so much.
Greasier than even Randy
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)
Why... why are these nested.... owwww my brain.
Oh my god. Its soo bad, it keeps getting worse the more I look at it...
I hate you but also, well done.
haha, it's actually from experience of trying to undo what AI did to my code. And I'm just a casual hobbyist in scripting languages.
I still have a to-do to unstick how it is using a lambda to set a bool value inside a dict with only one key, when any normal human would just do
bool_var = my_func()
def my_func()
[code goes here]
if x:
return true
else:
return false
it's really been a lesson in how I can't even use AI to learn, let alone actually produce.
