Pistol Shrimp games, the original devs of Star Control 1 & 2, currently working on a sequel. Makes me even happier that I backed it.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

the way they're pushing "ai" is clearly just the latest tech bro attempt to "disrupt" (monopolize) a market using venture capital to undercut everyone until they're the only game in town before jacking up the prices right before the ipo and bailing. the market just happens to be the labor market this time, which is probably the stupidest possible market to try to corner. gullible dipshit CEOs forgot what too good to be true looks like and swallowed it hook, line, and sinker.
