Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

This is the most tone deaf dystopian shit I've ever read, jesus christ.

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 13 points 14 hours ago

There it is. "Use AI" is the new "learn to code".

[–] caut_R@lemmy.world 111 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

I… can‘t believe this is real, what in the condescending fuck is wrong with that idiot

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 42 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

You need to have no capacity for empathy to be a ceo

[–] Minnels@lemmy.zip 6 points 14 hours ago

I think it shows how much they dont understand how it is to live without money.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 9 points 15 hours ago

Either he’s been selling the AI kool aid for so long that he actually believes his own bullshit, or he’s just stuck in “must sell AI for all things at all times always” mode. Either way it’s a new level of depravity for these exec assholes.

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 8 points 19 hours ago

maybe they already replaced this producer with AI.

[–] minibyte@sh.itjust.works 73 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (3 children)

AI would replace CEOs better than devs and you’d save a lot more money. What’s the issue if we’re so confident in it – aren’t we supposed to think of the shareholders?

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 38 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I mean that would save millions and millions of dollars right off the top. Between salary, bonuses and stock were talking hundreds of millions in some cases. Maximum shareholder value increase.

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago

no no we can’t risk the future of the company on AI.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Immediately 95% of companies would be better run.

[–] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

Given his post, he's likely already using an AI for making decisions and writing emails (and LinkedIn slop). Much less work while still enjoying a bloated paycheck - what's that saying about having your cake and eating it, too?

[–] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 0 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I prefer having your cake and fucking it, too.

[–] kadup@lemmy.world 0 points 15 hours ago

That's how you get genital fungi

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 45 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Imagine if the CEO who laid you off was also your psychologist/therapist who you have to turn to. What in the actual fuck is wrong with these people.

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 13 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Decades and decades of no consequences for their actions. If your bonus gets bigger despite every meaningful kpi you aren't are great CEO, you are a capitalist exploiting your resources.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 11 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Decades and decades of no consequences for their actions.

Being rewarded for their actions.

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 2 points 14 hours ago

Yeah. Yeah you aren't wrong 😥

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 10 points 15 hours ago

Should be in nottheonion.

[–] thann@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 17 hours ago

Siri, how should I get revenge?

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 8 points 15 hours ago

I would tell that person the same thing after shifting my foot up their ~~ass~~.

[–] squirrel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 20 hours ago

It's quite amazing how these people show their asses on LinkedIn and think it makes them look smart, instead of proving that they completely lost touch with reality. It fits the picture that one the very same day they laid of thousands, Microsoft also send out an invitation to hear them pitch genAI at GamesCom. That's corpo brain on late stage capitalism.

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 9 points 19 hours ago

These people are lucky Light Yagami isn’t real.

This is wonderful advice! Thank you, John Xbox! I may be without a job, but I will keep on using your products like the mindless consumer I am, so that your paychecks will keep on growing.

God, this is so out of touch that it stops being funny and becomes genuinely uncanny. Like, are these people even real? Are they robots piloted by Skynet? Am I the only real person on the entire planet?

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago

In response to that, I reccomend a swift boot up the Xbox producers ass!

[–] doctortofu@piefed.social 6 points 19 hours ago

Goddamned shameless ghoul, holy fucking shit. We're really in full-on Idiocracy mode, only these morons feel like they have to mention AI in every single sentence instead of Carl's Jr...

[–] mrfriki@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

Assholes gonna be assholes.
