    Sweeney is such a dishonest and corrupt piece of shit, a very typical retrograde American oligarch.

    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.

    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.

    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.

              shoot()
      
        func shoot():
               fire(gun):
      
      
          func fire(gun):
                if gun.is_valid and not gun == null and gun.id != null:
                         weapon_activate(gun)

          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.

            Lately I’ve been running into this wild thing where… they just cannot fucking understand nested arrays.

            Here, we have an array called points, its made of vec2s, vec2 elements can also be accessed as an array or via vec2.x or vec2.y

            Alright, now, figure out how to compute the distance from the last point in the points array to the first point.

            … and it will give me something like:

            points - points

            … and then I headdesk and explain to it what i just said.

            and it will go oh!

            points - points is incorrect!

            points - points is the corrected version!

            … and then i will tell it those are literally the same thing and cannot possibly be both correct and incorrect simultaneously.

            … and then it will either actually crash, or basicslly say ‘yep, sorry, im stupid’… and then crash.

            … fucking what? This is what Ford has been using to make all their software with the last year?

            God fucking damnit.

            They really must have actually scaled them back in some way, to just stupider models… 6 months ago… they could handle that no problem, and get tripped up on legitimately more complex things.

            … oh well, im never gonna directly pay for any of this shit anyway.

      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.

    “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.”

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.
