Yeah if their impact was as negative.

AI Bros are always good for a laugh. They can't point to any industry successes, pretend massive industry failures like Microsoft don't count, and generally trust their own feelings over facts.

Both of those things put a lot of people out of work, but our economy adapted, and there was nothing to be gained by shaming the people embracing the technology that was clearly going to take over. I'm not convinced AI tools are that, but if they are, then nothing can stop it, and you're shaming a bunch of people who have literally no choice.

Job Requirements:

Active use of AI tools in daily development workflows, and enthusiasm for helping the team increase adoption

Nice to have:

Passion for games and game preservation

AI Mandatory, game preservation optional. Glad they got their priorities straight

The good thing is they don't have DRM so boycott is extremely easy and at the same time very hard

Why are you defending it? You aren't GOG and I'm some random person expressing an opinion that you chose to interact with.

I would love to. They deserve a little lovin’ for all the work they put in preserving games. 10/10, would buy games from them over Steam any and every day.

I wish though they were a bit more friendly towards Proton/Wine. Knowing what games are compatible and to what degree before purchasing them would make me happier.

Well they’re some random person expressing their opinion as well. Why are you denying them the same right you claim?

Corollary: All news are old news.

I used an example of two technologies that were destructive and inevitable, now both definitely parts of your daily life, to show how silly it is take a stance against a technology like that. I don't need to work at GOG for that to be the case. And to reiterate, AI might not be inevitable. If it's not, this problem takes care of itself economically, and you don't need to shame anyone.

If you think you’re immune to that, you’re an idiot.

Yeah, but they gotta make sure everyone knows they have an opinion, lest you forget they exist

trust thsir own feelings over facts

Can I take a guess that you are not currently employed in the software development industry?

enthusiasm for helping the team increase adoption

Seems like they want to hire an AI salesman, not an engineer.

That's not an answer to my question.

I believe I did answer your question, though I'd disagree with the idea that I'm "defending" anything. There exists nuance between "pro AI" and "anti AI".

Questioning motives is denying?

When you say, “I’m just expressing an opinion, why are you doing the same”, then yes, it is denying them the same right. Don’t play games with me, we’re not the idiots you seem to think we are.

If making art is the process of getting something inspired in your head into the physical world, then it would make one an artist. AI would be a tool to achieve that.

Many people still don't consider digital artists to be artists because they use tools that make it easier than physical art.
