Not sure about the removal thing but first every commercial software is going to get enshittified with forced AI additions that are only semi-useful and introduce lots of errors and tons of privacy issues (on top of already existing privacy issues of course). It will still wow some people who assume intelligence and assume accuracy. As long as it still wows some people, the bubble is still growing. Unfortunately this tech industry has become so similar to the fashion industry, it’s so sad. If you don’t have AI these days you’re SO out of fashion. But what does it get you? Inaccurate / low quality output which a subject matter expert needs to review anyway, so it can’t replace the experts. At best, it speeds up prototyping and gathering examples for those experts. Oh, and in doing all that it accelerates the problem of resource wastefulness and climate disaster. And if the AI isn’t self-hosted and under your own control, then it also massively breaches all of your data protection efforts because employees will use it for probably everything, including sharing all sorts of documents and data with it.
- Comment on Xonotic Vanilla Duel Cup | #xonotic.pickup Cups | MxCrab 5 weeks ago:
As an ancient Quake 3 player, it makes me happy to see that Xonotic seems like a really great and even open source adaption of this type of fast-paced arena shooter game. Looks much better than I would have expected. Also, at least Kyle and Spike seemed really high skilled (at least as far as I can guess based on zero game knowledge), comparable to the best Q3/QL/QC players I’ve seen. Didn’t watch everything though, just skimmed through it.
- Comment on Mark Zuckerberg Already Knows Your Life. Now He Wants His AI to Run It 1 month ago:
That, and also this might just be a fake PR stunt to make the Trump administration not seem so wrong. Remember that both Elon and Trump only really care about enriching themselves and their relatives. Anything they say or do doesn’t have much substance to it. It’s all about facilitating their goals. If they feel like they need to do a 180-degree turn in order to boost their public perception, they will do that. I don’t think they have much integrity, spine, morals or ethics at all. That would just stand in the way of enrichment.

Larian’s CEO / producer of Baldur’s Gate 3 apparently likes DA: Veilguard. That alone probably means I have to play it.
