This is a lot of what’s happening. LLM companies have convinced the eagerly selfish that LLMs can empower them to do things they currently rely on others for, faster and better, and the early adopters are making very risky decisions that are blowing up in their faces. The current US admin is one of these groups of eagerly selfish, believing LLMs will empower them to be capable of things they simply aren’t, like seizing power and ruling America forever.

So, per the article, mr CEO didn’t want to pay the devopers their well earned extra from hitting a sales goal, so the wooden doll asked chatGePeTo how to avoid that. Even Gepeto said that it was going to “be difficult”, but Kim Becile insisted on a plan.

The first step was posting a message on Subanutica’s website to get fans on his side. According to court documents, Kim said the goal of the message was to “secure public support from fans and legal validation of our legitimacy.” He then suggested that ChatGPT write it for him. It achieved the opposite of his intended goal. Fans found the message bizarre and worried about the future of the game. Those fears were compounded when Kim fired the game’s original creators and entered into a legal battle with them.

I’d like to meet a CEO of a similar megacorp that isn’t both a complete fucking idiot AND an absolute psychopath. Surely there has to be one?

For the record this was not a dev company CEO. He’s the publisher company CEO, you know, the usual bastards.

What did ChatGPT tell him to do, exactly?

I finally got to read this article and the situation is even better/dumber with more context. I didn’t realize the layering at first.

This CEO used AI to avoid paying human lawyers to help him figure out how to avoid paying human game developers.

This asshole needs to get some kind of “Yo Dawg I heard you like AI” anti-award.

Watching a CEO get fucked by using AI is orgasmic.
