@gamingonlinux Calling potential customers a hate mob is one way of doing PR. Valve does what its customers ask it to do, the customer can decide if they care about genAI - what a novel idea for epic I guess.
@gamingonlinux They are a political statement, and so is his response. Now for me it's the latter that is reprehensible.
@gamingonlinux Epic's Tim Sweeney is a clown
@Cheeseness @gamingonlinux help! help! not letting me hide my AI use which i claim is the greatest thing ever is harassment!
@eniko @gamingonlinux Did you see him having a go at Kenney the other day? What a chump
@Cheeseness yeah what an asshole
@Cheeseness @gamingonlinux That's the positive spin on him.
He's a techbro.
@yora @gamingonlinux Alas, there are many clowns in the world with access to more power and resources than they have sense or accountability to wield
@gamingonlinux He's right though.
@gamingonlinux im pretty sure sweeney und co have put all epic money into AI bubble financial circles and now panic.
