It’s not pretending if that’s what you want. It’s just what you are.
When the worst person you know made a good point.
A broken clock is right twice a day.
I don’t see how stating the blindingly obvious makes him “epic”.
I didn’t understand ether. None of the Epic Games were actually Epic…
You shut your mouth; Unreal Tournament’99 and 2004 were both legitimately epic in their day!
Now get off my lawn… *damn kids today*
I reckon we will see the biggest transfer of wealth ever during trumps second term. They are all lining up for the big one. I see them trying to undo Labor laws and deregulate across the board.
I suspect they will push RTO even harder and try to drive down wages but specifically to screw over software developers currently on decent wages firing the lower paid ones, with CEOs claiming AI can do it while manufacturing the narrative that its the new normal 🙄.
You’d be surprised to hear that most software devs i talk to think the benefits of ai are overrated. The problem is the bubble keeps growing and growing.
… also leads to worse for all in the meantime.
We’re getting it shoved down our throats too. We get asked to use ai to enhance things… that no one wanted fixed with ai.
I added some more words to clarify, I meant the CEOs will claim it is replacing the developers. I’m a dev myself, we know it has its uses and its very obvious limitations.
Yes they just slap Ai in the marketing and scale up the price.
Isn’t “skirt antitrust laws, and ultimately 'rip off consumers and crush competitors” making them officially conservatives?
That’s just every major company nowadays
When Tim fucking Sweeney calls you out on your bullshit, you know you’re a special kind of piece of shit.
Not really. Tim Sweeney would sell his grandmother to appear cool / anti-establishment / consumer friendly - while trying everything to establish Epic Store as a monopoly. Once he achieves that, he would lick boots just like the others.
Totally, he wants to be in complete control but since he isn’t, he’s taking shots at people kissing the ring. Were he in control, he’d kiss the ring and beg for regulations on his competitors and not himself.
It’s almost like they have cutting edge artificial intelligence that can brief them on meta game theory and how to ensure successful outcomes for their personal interests, regardless of who’s ass they’re kissing.
He’s an opportunistic jackass, but he’s not wrong.
And he’s 100% right.
They’re all lining up to kiss Trump’s stinky ass because they expect him to provide them with an unprecedented opportunity to thoroughly and completely fuck us all, and there’s nothing they want more in the world.
They are disgusted by Trump but also love what he can do for their wallet. It’s all about money.
I don’t get it, what’s so “Epic” about this CEO?
I came here to make this joke, but I would have gone with something like:
“He’s not that epic of a CEO 🙄”
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.” - Kurt Vonnegut
If they’re willing to say and do anything to convince government to advantage large corporations at the expense of workers and consumers I don’t think they’re “pretending” to be republicans.
No shit Sherlock Holmes
News flash!
This, just in: “Leaders of capitalist meat grinders prepared to lie to keep money flowing and try to pull in more”
I’m shocked.
Fascist country, fascist babyllionaires, fascist businesses = fuck GAFAM.
