Really hate this, the article focused on other platforms but I want to call out the stuff Reddit and many of its moderators did to actively prevent debate from happening, like generally regarding disagreement as something to be moderated away, the way the updated block feature works, and locking any thread with a contentious topic that people wanted to argue about.

IMO verbal debate is a poor substitute for writing, where you can take more time to consider what is being said and look up or cite information. Anonymity also helps a lot in various ways, when in person social considerations normally trump the interest of crafting good argument.

Normal rules of what makes software good or bad still apply.

Miss that’s illegal

and once you make amazing entertainment you have to market it worldwide, and the people who are best at marketing entertainment worldwide are big, significant entertainment enterprises with the balance sheet to actually support those launches, companies like us. So I feel more optimistic than ever that new technology is going to allow us to supercharge our business.

So the argument is basically that their company will not be overshadowed because they’re using AI too, and because the important part of making a successful game is advertising it.

Not your server, not your waifu

That’s gotta be illegal

It’s not even good for piracy because of the shitty bandwidth limits for users that pop up halfway through downloading something and make you wait until tomorrow or pay.
