      Exploits of the Sus and Heinous

      Imagine being the leader of a large corporation and deciding to not take legal advice from your staff lawyers because the LLM gave you a more appealing proposal of doing some shady shit instead. Any chance the CEO will suffer any significant legal repercussions?

        He pulled all this shit in the first place after realizing they were going to have to payout that huge bonus and was worried about looking a pushover to his peers so I think he might be cooked.

          Is there any possibility he actual gets incarcerated though? I’m hopeful, but it seems pretty unlikely just based on vibes.

            Oh I have no idea about that, ROK is certainly not famous for its labor protections, but I could certainly see him getting the boot as an attempted face saving move by Krafton and something else ROK corporate culture is not known for is looking kindly on fuckups of that magnitude.

            Also, funny article from RPS today I read said that literally the day after the CEO reassumed his position at Unknown Worlds they announced a released date for Early Access lol.

    I just don’t understand why you’d pay so much for a legal team and not use it. You’re paying at most AT MOST, what? 1k/mo for whatever bullshit you personally use it for? A lawyer is a lot more expensive and has a lot more domain expertise. It’s a plastic shovel when you have a team of regular shovels. Even if your job is maximizing shareholder value, how could you not be aware this is a 99.9% outcome of trusting in a plastic shovel?

      Krafton considers themselves an “AI-first” company in all their workflows - they just vastly overestimate the word calculator’s capabilities.

        Everyone was afraid that we’d get these hyper intelligent thinking machines that would outsmart us and optimize everything perfectly logically, and instead we got incredibly dumb machines that are very good at lying convincingly.

        Sure, they might lead to someone setting off a nuke one day, but not because of some secret grand plan for world domination, just because some nincompoop who’s obsessed with the movie Wargames will talk themselves into a sycophantic hole with one and it’ll tell them to drop the nukes.

    Especially ironic when part of their case against the subnautica team lead was that he was wasting all his time on his other passion project: an ai-generated Christmas movie.

    Anyways hope the game is good the first one was lots of fun.

          I never really got into cs, but natural selection was the best. Even the stripped down combat mode slapped.

            I will never likely know the thrill again of smoking 6-7 skulks in a row, calling them slurs, and getting one-shot from some focus bullshit to my dome. All while Christmas skinned. Playing in a server called the phallus palace.

      Yeah the first one was my entry into the genre and I’m happy for this because I can buy now with the comfort of knowing I can help them meet their sales goal and get that massive bonus.

      We should play multi-player once it drops.

        The early release period is going to be rough. I really want to play it multiplayer on PS5 but that’s going to be a long wait if the first game is anything to go by.

      Edit: From here

      It seems like they plan for it to be a normal movie, but are using Midjourney for the pitchdeck. That’s less wild than making a whole AI movie.

    Every little bit of News about the Subnautica devs makes it look more and more like the brilliance of Subnautica was just an accident.
