I don’t know that there were any promises anyway. But if there were, then an investor could have plausibly believed that that was a better long-term business model.
It’s early days for these LLM hosts, maybe investors could be worried about taking the really annoying business notes before users are properly addicted.
All I’ve been hearing is how AI will replace human workers with no mention of what those humans are supposed to do when they get replaced. I think people are rightfully concerned about that.
We’re automating the interesting work with AI and leaving the drudge work for humans.
Drafts, and by extension wars, should be unpopular. War should be the last resort that no one wants to take. No one should be cheering for a war they won't have to participate in.
War has become too remote and comfortable for most Americans.
I can both be alarmed at how quickly the ice age humanity has evolved within is ending, and find that a very funny way of phrasing it. These things don't conflict in me, though it seems triggering to some. People are downvoting me with moral conscience, but I'm just over here laughing at a funny conjunction of paleoclimate and word choice. :) People getting offended by it kinda makes it funnier.
>If you believe that humans have in fact created artificial intelligence, then that alone makes us currently exceptional.
Quite the opposite, really. If humans at at all intelligent in any meaningful way, then it is absurdly bizarre that somehow we can't "intelligent" our way to an artificial intelligence. Something is going on in our minds that makes us unable to deduce how intelligence must function in the mechanical sense. What makes us so special is that we can't make AI.
I think those are likely the only useful or net-positive things for society AI will do, at least for some time until there’s a fundamental advancement beyond LLMs. It can obviously do more than that now, like impersonate people for scams, induce psychosis in vulnerable people, shill and astroturf at a scale we haven’t seen before, spam open source projects with terrible PRs and vulnerability reports, and quite a bit more.
Sounds like they’re talented game designers and they sunk their whole project because they stole art and assets. Sounds like they could have made a cool, new game with their own assets and been successful if it stands so well on its own merits.
It's substantially different from a pirate server.

At the end of the day, they are in essence WoW modders. Plus, a new game with own assets and engine is a different beast compared to modding an existing engine.
I think it really just depends on the game and what purposes “pausing” serves in that game. Take a game like solitaire, for example: there is no meaningful “pause” feature you could add, since the game state only advances in response to a user action.
Other pause some underlying simulation while still letting you modify the game state, as an expected part of gameplay, like a city builder. As the user might spend a significant amount of time in a paused state building things, it would be pretty visually unappealing to have the entire world completely frozen the whole time.
Others might pause all gameplay entirely, such as for displaying a menu, in which case pausing even environmental animations might make more sense since the user isn’t actively playing.
For the second type, I would much prefer some GUI element to indicate the simulation is paused rather than freezing the whole game world, such as a border around the screen or maybe a change of color theme of the GUI or similar.
It’s an important point: all our sensations are interpretations of readings from various sensing abilities.
Which is why it can be so easy to produce false sensations of many things. It’s like tricking your fridge into turning the light off by pressing the little switch instead of closing the door. The fridge isn’t detecting when the door is closed, it’s detecting with that switch is pressed and interpreting that as meaning the door is closed. However that interpretation may not always be correct.
