Comment They had One Job! (Score 3, Interesting) 45

complaint details extensive similarities between the games, from post-apocalyptic robot dinosaur settings to red-haired female protagonists.

Would it have been so hard to make robot dragons instead of dinos, or chicks with green or purple hair to create plausible deniability?

There are crooks, and there are stupid crooks. This sounds like the second. There are plenty of ways to clone the general concepts without cloning the details.

There is 0% Trump knows any technical details about how any of this works.

My scenario didn't require Don to understand anything, only that he have the self confidence that he could later conjure up a solution if things fell apart.

He habitually kicks the can down the road on many things, believing he can shoot from the hip to solve when need be.

It's why he's not worried about lower interest rates triggering inflation. If by chance he gets his bully wish and inflation spikes, he believes he'll somehow work magic to solve it, OR blame it on Democrats.

Vetting and maintenance have always been the bottlenecks of software development, not code creation. RAD pushers keep selling clueless bosses on the creation part. RAD pushers have been around for more than 5 decades.

AI is currently highly subsidized by over-eager investors with too much rich-tax-cut money. That can't last forever any more than it did during the dot-com bubble. When customers come to the point where they have to pay the real costs, they will cut back or go bargain hunting elsewhere. Open-source AI is good enough that lean or low-wage-country startups will start offering something that's 80% as good at 50% the price of the big 3. MS will get focked.
