In the US especially. It could be a cardboard box.
- Comment on Today’s layoffs (Epic Games official post) 2 days ago:
Since it’s a thing now, I should note that the layoffs aren’t related to AI. To the extent it improves productivity, we want to have as many awesome developers developing great content and tech as we can.
For example, in the U.S., they’ll receive paid coverage for 6 months. We’ll also accelerate their stock options vesting through January 2027 and extend equity exercise options for up to two years.
As much as I hate Epic, those are both better paragraphs than I expected. I feel for the people getting laid off, hopefully they land on their feet

Man the Monsters Inc bad guy nowadays would just get a standing ovation from shareholders and a bonus for saying that line. It was like incriminating and the end of him being caught saying it. I can’t even imagine.

It really does seem to follow the classic arc of going from marketing to consumers to B2B but like, you can’t sell games B2B can you? It’s so direct to consumer

That’s fair and a much better response than mine above. I’m just a bit disenfranchised from it all, especially the non action and non voting suggestions of many on the left.
But you are right, it’s basically a center right and a far right party, and that super sucks and needs to be complained about a lot.

Someone I worked with had a great rage quit. He worked his ass off for the whole year doing insane overtime and sacrificing way too much for a thankless corporation. When it came to raise time, my boss gave him a 0% raise, citing that he already made more than average/benchmark.
After that meeting he just left. He left all his work stuff on his desk, he didn’t tell anyone he wasn’t coming back from lunch time ish. It took a full month before they stopped paying him, and my boss would come around almost every day to ask if anyone knew where he was or how to contact him. I think they just assumed he was blowing off steam and would come back, meanwhile he moved to another city.

I assume all those “vote third party both side same” people were bots or Russian trolls. Obviously trump was always gonna be way worse

Only maybe! DEC works similarly to how we collect energy in photovoltaics, and seems to be pretty promising

Yeah, I really enjoy that kinda mid game, where a slightly longer drought or bad water would really mess you up, but it kinda falters shortly after that and becomes solved.
I want them to do what Factorio did and make the end game stuff (rockets) feed you into what becomes the early-mid game. Like make water the whole map" or have “insanely deep water” or some resources that are hard to make the requirement to do the NEXT thing, which should be so big the whole map you were worried about becomes a little trivial

I’ve played a fair bit of timberborn, and it’s a great city builder! I get obsessed for the first dozen or so hours of a settlement but it’s always fallen a little flat in the more later-game parts.
I’m hopeful that their continually adding content keeps it fresh deeper into the game. The mechanics and aesthetics are great

Also, it still kinda feeds the AI narrative if he recodes the AI part.

A super fun counter argument I heard once is that if it’s intelligent design, surely it’s not for humans. The universe is BIG with lots of empty space, lots of massive elements to it. Surely it was designed for something much bigger than humans.
