    Trying to imagine feeling the need to weigh in defending billionaires here. Under Tim, Epic laid off ~20% of its employees earlier this year. Whatever you think about AI—people are actually afraid for their work and their security. Care about people; resist leaders who don't.

    A screenshot from X/Twitter.

From @KenneyNL: Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games. You've got my support 💖

From @TimSweeneyEpic: This is bullshit, Kenney. I’m the same tech tree following optimist who moved from C to C++, from 2D to 3D, and from closed source to open source. I run a company. I write code. I contribute to published papers. I’ve upped my expectations of AI. Up yours!

    Tim should think before calling BS.

    I also did those things over my career; The difference here is that in none of those changes was the #bigCorp employer forcing me to . in fact, I was the one pushing it, a chance to improve what I did and learn how to improve and expand my skills.

    #AI is the opposite of folks wanting to improve their skills and hence their value. AI devalues the people.

    Please pay attention to who is push whom to do what and for what purpose.
