Like what? Without resorting to histrionic memery, What company in his history is an example of not good? At least, in comparison to every other company? He's not the world richest man by accident. he didn't stumble into it. You could easily make a very strong case that he's an unethical...

Edit: For some reason, the forums are hiding the quote to the post I'm replyign to, making this look like a random reply. The quote is someone replying to me "Do you know how a thought experiment works?" You're not Einstien theory-crafting on general relativity. A thought experiment is...

Why are we speculating? If you want that, go run that game.

There’s a segment of the community that will reflexively deny anything. The most ironic part of those type of responses here is that the D&D designers openly acknowledge this is a problem. There’s an entire section in Chapter 1 of the 2024 DMG discussing problem player exploitation of the...

You're assuming AI didn't write it. this is a joke btw

Is it just me or is this turning into EloN World?

Hasbor might cost $8B... I'm not sure it's worth it.

I couldn't imagine what 100x worse could even possibly look like.

I don't see this as anything in danger of actually happening. Entertaining the actual thought for a moment ... This is basically no better than his "I'm making an AI video game company" thing. It basically means nothing. He's not a gamedev and wouldn't spend any time on the company so he's...

The main problem is he would have to take on the company's debt. They are still massively in debt from the $5B loss they took from MediaOne. (I think that was the name).

I don't see many people dealing in facts. At best they start with a fact and follow it up with a characterization, conclusion, or assertion about how you should feel about it. They don't just put in a quote by Gary - they put some quote out, label it, and tell you what Gary was thinking or...

Particularly in note taking and summarizing, I've found this very helpful. it's nto magic though and you still need to put in the work. I use the lazy DM Prep method and have a pretty good set of prep-notes. I have a player that takes a pretty good set of session notes. I drop them both in...

I think this is the chefs kiss of irony everyone is reacting to.

obtuse it is.

For me, TTRPGs are all about the banter and interaction at the table with other players. That's my core enjoyment of the hobby, plain and simple. When it comes to AI in our games, I see it as a valuable helper tool - great for searching and summarizing rules, managing campaign lore we've...

True. He could probably get financing for it, but then he's back in the "beholding to investors"thing. I think this is the same faulty logic as Musk. It's not just a matter of resources. You can throw money at it or AI at it, but that doesn't make you a good game designer. Good games are hard...

Not sure if you're being obtuse, but people often use corporation to men publicly traded company. Clearly the OP means xAI is a private company, not a public one. (which is true)

Yes, this is exactly the point. Studios haven't managed the balance between profit and quality well. The need to feed stockholders drives that imbalance, and the product suffers. Studios are losing massive amounts of money because of it. We're saying "then make a better product." This is...

We don't live in a world where we have to wonder. This has been known for years and numberous studies on it. You can't swing a dead tabaxi on youtube without hitting an indie game dev talking about how they are losing money. From Perplexity.ai Recent studies on the failure rate of indie...

Most independent games fail. People have taken to using the term Indie for studios like the one that make Wukon but that just isn't accurate. Triple I indies aside, reveneue generated by small team games has been almost flat for a decade, and there are more studios than ever so that flat pool...
