Hypixel CEO on Roblox and AI in gaming

Not directly related to Hytale but I thought this was a pretty good read. We already know most of this but it's nice to hear the perspective of somebody that is actually in those investor meetings and hearing them talk about AI and replacing creators. Very disgusting stuff.
People who can't find nuance in this topic aren't worth humoring. Instantly describing a complex image into reality is cool, actually. Calling it theft is deeply silly when the preferred alternative is an unaltered screenshot of some popular cartoon. It's dead easy to hate on these specific companies and capitalism in general without kneejerk bad-faith harassment.
It's cool, yes.
But there are ethical and environmental issues with it, and his response to people bringing that up is a pretty bad look. It's one thing to have discussions and disagreements about using genAI for memes, it's another to insult people saying it's bad.
And some people actually do consciously vote with their dollar, so it's nice to share information about where the dollar goes.
His response of correctly spotting unanswerable antagonism?
What you're doing in the comment above is participating in a harassment campaign. Presumably you have no such grand intent, but no pebble feels responsible for the avalanche. It's a purity test, where deleting the offending image is seen as equally incriminating, pointing out the touchy response is equally offensive... and you, a self-proclaimed supporter, are linking to a zero-tolerance scold account that only tracks this sort of receipt. There's not much daylight between @duckaislop and "anti-woke" Steam game lists. Different motives... identical behavior.
The crystal clear message is wagging a finger at anyone thinking of buying this game that doesn't even use this tech. Your professed endorsement does not match this behavior.
