AMD is always hiring devrel. You get to fanboy, travel, vaguely consult on a bunch of cool titles before they come out, and it pays way better than actual gamedev. Same goes for all the other hardware manufacturers, as well as engine and Middleware companies. (Also yacht parties and drama if you swing it right)

I think you’re talking botting where I’m talking hacking. With botting, you’re right you do need “AI” where AI is the old heuristics and state machines AI. I still think anyone calling this AI in 2024 deserves to get clowned on. (And which I concede is not you).

Lol

It STILL is impossible to verify everything server side unless you have a crazy powerful adaptive AI engine the likes of which still don’t exist today and you need to scale that for hundreds of thousands of concurrent players.

Serverside anti-cheat requires AI

You need to go out in the world (where the trees don’t have pixels) and learn about this stuff if you want to be in this field / pretend to argue about it. Instead you’ve conflated the facts that other people are telling you (this is a hard problem that takes effort) with the corpo propaganda (It’s expensive so It’s impossible)

Also: Your llama-based waifu is not real. Good luck with your chat bot addiction.

You wish the CEO of a company would harass you?

You wish a CEO would give general denials and the same non-answers you see in a comment thread while pretending to engage with you in good faith?

Fuck off, the CEO gave no new info or perspectives and just showed himself to be the asshole that recent emerging evidence had been showing he was.

Lemmy has RSS feeds. Follow catalogues you like, subscribe to blogs when you like articles and the feed seems to have high signal to noise. I started with 6 feeds 2 months ago, now I subscribe to just under 90 different feeds of personal blogs, substacks, and media organizations.

Muting also works for RSS (depending on client). If a feed is generally good but posts a sponsored “deal of the day” in a way that can be filtered, you can add that to your filter.

Also, your local independent newspaper may have an RSS feed. Follow what’s going on in your neighborhood, not just online.
