      I came here to make this joke, but I would have gone with something like:
      “He’s not that epic of a CEO 🙄”

    When are people going to realize that billionaires have no moral code and no ethics. The only thing they want is more money and they will do literally anything to get it, even if they destroy the world.

    I reckon we will see the biggest transfer of wealth ever during trumps second term. They are all lining up for the big one. I see them trying to undo Labor laws and deregulate across the board.

    I suspect they will push RTO even harder and try to drive down wages but specifically to screw over software developers currently on decent wages firing the lower paid ones, with CEOs claiming AI can do it while manufacturing the narrative that its the new normal 🙄.

      You’d be surprised to hear that most software devs i talk to think the benefits of ai are overrated. The problem is the bubble keeps growing and growing.

      … also leads to worse for all in the meantime.

      We’re getting it shoved down our throats too. We get asked to use ai to enhance things… that no one wanted fixed with ai.

        I added some more words to clarify, I meant the CEOs will claim it is replacing the developers. I’m a dev myself, we know it has its uses and its very obvious limitations.

        Yes they just slap Ai in the marketing and scale up the price.

      I didn’t understand ether. None of the Epic Games were actually Epic…

        You shut your mouth; Unreal Tournament’99 and 2004 were both legitimately epic in their day!

        Now get off my lawn… *damn kids today*

          Kids there days would say Fortnite is very Epic… but for me UT2004 was the last game they made that deserved the title Epic/Unreal.

            UT2K4 was bloody fantastic. It, and Q3 are two of my absolute all time favourites.

            Everyone who disagrees can either admit they don’t like FPS (which is fine) or get off my lawn.

      No shit right.

      People need to stop anthropomorphizing corporations. They are not moral and simply respond to incentives.

      They earned good will saying black lives matter and now they earn political will by saying trans lives don’t.

    It’s almost like they have cutting edge artificial intelligence that can brief them on meta game theory and how to ensure successful outcomes for their personal interests, regardless of who’s ass they’re kissing.

    Isn’t “skirt antitrust laws, and ultimately 'rip off consumers and crush competitors” making them officially conservatives?
