@USLaborIG: "I am announcing a historic investigation into the J-1 visa fraud involving nine major American universities — Pit, Yale, Harvard, Stanford, Brown, UC Davis, Caltech, Arizona State, and MIT. Subpoenas have been served; investigations are underway."

Some crafty lawyer will try.

An AI ultra-lint finds some vulnerabilities, so what does management do?
They have another AI they rented "fix" the vulnerabilities it knows about.

And soon, no human can know and work reliably on the code.
Management poured money into the initiative, and will not be proven wrong:
"AI found what humans didn't, so AI has proven to be a better 'programmer' than any human.'

Sure, something small isn't a big deal for a pro, but a code base significant enough
to undergo the expense of this process and then set the CIO's hair on fire,
say, the access permissions system for a major bank,
will soon be pwned by the AI vendor, forever more.

The first step is "AI, write this". It was easy, it worked, it's magical. You inspect the code, it's not bad.
The next step (because why do it yourself now?), is "AI, extend the thing you wrote", and it does it.
You test it, it works ok, maybe you glance at the code this time, maybe not.
New requirements come down, and you try tossing the AI the raw requirements and it
poots out a thing good enough to pass QA.
This time, you don't look at the code at all. Why bother?

And now, the AI owns the code base, and your organization is forever captive.
This is happening, at scale, everywhere, right now.
Good plan, frat boys. Enjoy your bonuses. The won't last much longer.

Even though some regions or countries stay on a shifted time offset year-round (which might look or feel like being "ahead" like daylight saving time), standard time is legally and geographically considered the baseline time zone for those areas. They simply choose not to participate in the biannual clock adjustments.

Countries & Regions That Do Not Change Clocks
Most of Asia: This includes major industrialized nations like China, India, Japan, and South Korea, as well as most of Southeast and Central Asia.

Most of Africa: Almost the entire African continent stays on a single standard time year-round.

Parts of the Middle East: While countries like Iran and formerly parts of the Levant have experimented with it, places like Turkey and several neighbors maintain fixed times.

Parts of Europe: Iceland, Belarus, Russia, Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan do not practice seasonal time changes. (The European Union has debated abolishing the practice entirely, but member states still currently shift together).

Much of South and Central America: Countries like Argentina, Brazil (which abandoned nationwide DST a few years ago), and most of their neighbors remain on permanent standard time.

In the same week, SpaceX launched every rocket in their lineup, 3 different vehicles, from 4 different pads, in 3 different states.

They also lifted basically every “category” of payload. Starlink, Crew, Commercial, and Military.

Maybe an exception for pay parking garages as they've become huge users of ALPRs. It's far more efficient than barcoded slips of paper used to use to check in and out.

Without exceptions like this the lobbyists will kill the bill.

What I'm getting at is there will be modeling, lighting, and animating "by hand" like before.

Not that this would be the best example, but one of these systems should be able
to be shown a picture of some lake in a park, you can ask for a Mario and Master Chief scenario
and entities that act expectedly Mario and Halo-like appear in world, exhibiting their default behavior.

How long would it take to build that in Unity or Unreal?

Yeah, everyone knows that times a million. That's not the point.
You have 100,000 PCs, each with a hot GPU vs. AI gen-ed from a load balanced server farm someplace.

All things being equal, and they're not, the AI generated stream experience would be superior,
infinitely customizable and scalable and reactive in ways beyond the design studio world's plans.

And contrary to some opinions, probably using way less power and way less dedicated hardware.
Like I said, we're not there yet, but it's possible and we've seen it.
It's just a matter of scale, mostly at this point.

What will a 'Game Studio' be?
The era of parametric shapes and vertices and triangles and shaders will soon be done and gone.
Game views, and the scenarios themselves will be generated on the fly, by request,
rendered by some AI engine, to meet one's specific, custom view requirements.
Music and voice too. It will be the way it's all delivered.

Not yet, but soon. A way easier path to hyper-realism than having to model and light it all,
and as we've seen, that they can't do it today without requiring an Nvidia space heater.
