Not directly related to Hytale but I thought this was a pretty good read. We already know most of this but it's nice to hear the perspective of somebody that is actually in those investor meetings and hearing them talk about AI and replacing creators. Very disgusting stuff.
I'm in the "If a person didn't make it, I don't want to see it; unless it's actually innovative in some way and not just random slop" camp.
The first AI generated images were pretty cool, the newer ones were impressive tech (though based on the work of artists who didn't opt-into the scraping, so stolen), now it's just annoying.
I may still support Hytale (looking to buy it in the following weeks, wondering if I'm actually gonna end up playing it regularly) but I know I'm not interacting Simon's social media accounts if he's gonna post slop (I don't even have BlueSky so I don't really care that much).
