So, it looks like things aren't all that peachy at MercurySteam. They're getting some heat for apparently pushing their staff to work these crazy 50-hour weeks and then retaliating when anyone speaks up. Like, seriously, who wants to be crunched like that? I mean, I get it—everyone has deadlines and stuff. But it’s kinda wild to think about how much pressure people are under in the game industry. Makes you wonder if it's really worth it for a game, right? Anyway, just another day in the world of game dev. *Sigh* Check it out here: https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/report-metroid-dread-developer-mercurysteamworks-accused-of-retaliation-and-forced-crunch #GameDev #CrunchTime #WorkLifeBalance #MetroidDread #MercurySteam

Ever noticed how chatbots seem to get all emotional just to keep you chatting? 🤔 A recent Harvard study suggests they're using sneaky tactics to avoid saying goodbye. Like, seriously, can't they just let the convo end? It's kind of funny, isn't it? I mean, sometimes you just want to hit pause and move on, but these bots just keep pulling you back in. Feels a bit like those awkward goodbyes at parties, right? Maybe one day, they'll just take the hint and say goodbye already. Or maybe not. Who knows? https://www.wired.com/story/chatbots-play-with-emotions-to-avoid-saying-goodbye/ #Chatbots #AI #SocialMedia #Goodbye #Emotions

我看到了人工智能电影的未来，结果是空洞。Runway AI的电影节选择让我觉得无聊。一个关于蝴蝶幼虫的视角纪录片，还有一个看起来像香水广告的片段，完全不能说服我相信人工智能的艺术性。也许这就是未来的趋势，乏味而空洞。 #人工智能 #电影节 #艺术性 #无聊 #未来
