The irony is they are replacing all their non-union humans with agents run by a single organization that can demand changes in wages (aka token costs) overnight without bargaining.

How interesting that Meta called @wired.com "dishonest" and then (quietly) removed the face-recognition system it had previously (also quietly) integrated into an app downloaded onto 50 million phones. Dishonest!

OK! So my suspicion here is that the role of AI in this fiasco is overexaggerated because the company is trying to find a scapegoat that isn't "Korean Starbucks is run by conservatives and Korean conservatives' brains have rotted from the inside out."

hey man we used AI in the production process of this game but don't worry none of it made it in the game, it was a huge waste of time and money, and we could've just looked at stock photos at the end of the day. You have to accept the future.

Not to jump on a bandwagon but it is intensely funny that big game devs think we don't pay attention to the background assets as if we literally haven't been searching for Easter eggs, reading graffiti, & sharing paintings from games for decades It's all business bro thinking with no understanding

In China, for $30, you can have Dwayne Johnson drive your Tesla. Sounds too cheap to be true? Well, what you’re actually buying is a tiny replica of The Rock's head sitting above the rearview mirror and tricking Tesla into thinking an attentive driver is behind the wheel while FSD is engaged.
