tomalley8342, do games w GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier"

Job Requirements:

Active use of AI tools in daily development workflows, and enthusiasm for helping the team increase adoption

Nice to have:

Passion for games and game preservation

AI Mandatory, game preservation optional. Glad they got their priorities straight 😅

Calfpupa,

enthusiasm for helping the team increase adoption

Seems like they want to hire an AI salesman, not an engineer.

Here's the secret: talk a big game about being pro AI in the interview, then just don't use it on the job. What are they gonna do, grab your hands and put your mouse cursor on the Copilot button?

yermaw,

50 shades of grAI

tomalley8342,

Copilot business subscriptions have fairly granular usage tracking, so they’d probably just replace you right away with someone who isn’t quite so reserved. Looking at the comments here and in other places, there is certainly no shortage of such people.

Wow that's pathetic. You can just smell the desperation to turn a profit, they baked their agita right into their dashboard. And it's quite the dark pattern too, in showing the administrator adoption rates, it singles out the team with the lowest adoption for harassment.

Welp, there's still value in fucking with them I suppose. Send Copilot a "write me an email with no intent to send" request every so often, and you can bump your numbers up.

tempest,

Honestly if part of their job is at all trying to get old shit to run on new operating systems AI is very useful for that task.

Part of my job is keeping a 30 year old c++ application compiling and building on newer versions of Linux. LLMs have made this a far easier experience.

Cethin,

I don’t want to say you’re totally wrong, but I am skeptical of the benefit. Sure, maybe it works now, which is cool, but is it making changes that are maintainable? The next time someone does this is it going to work? If we just constantly have LLMs update code, when does it start breaking, and when it does is it going to be in a state someone can fix?

tempest,

Im not generally making source code changes. It’s the dependencies.

Mainly we’re talking about building very old versions of things like libpng. Making things like autoconf and configure and cmake all work is a pain in the ass as their versions slowly change.

The business would be content to let it run on Ubuntu 12 until it’s a major problem so I can’t let the perfect be the enemy of good.

Cethin,

Fair enough. Probably a good use case for it. I’ve found it’s pretty reliable at creating boilerplate. I just wouldn’t trust it for doing anything important.

criss_cross,

It’s kind of the new loyalty test you have to pass for companies nowadays to get a dev job.

“Oh yeah I love AI and want to be replaced by robots. Spank me harder daddy”.

Crotaro, do gaming w GOG now using AI generated images on their store

This is so disappointing and I’m so sorry that the people at GOG received some AI-hype-bro who had enough leverage to get the AI banner posted. In my mind I can hear them, against all the negative posts/comments, go “It’s not just a phase, mom moneybag!” and see GOG double down on this course.

counterfactual, do gaming w GOG now using AI generated images on their store

You guys are fanatics if this turns you away from GOG, while other stores are egregiously using an insane amount of AI stuff and you don’t bat an eye.

Cultists.

SteleTrovilo,

What, do you expect someone to list out literally every store that uses AI?

GOG is the topic. We’re allowed to express disappointment that GOG is giving in to an awful trend.

That doesn’t make anyone a “cultist”.

counterfactual,

Disappointment is one thing. If you ignore and downplay some of the “boycott” and “cancel” comments on this post, you’re just hiding your head in the sand about the lunacy.

GOG is still one of the good ones, if not best ones. Don’t delude yourselves with your better-than-thou unplaced arrogance.

As if you all were immune to mistakes and the occasional tripping 🙄…

SteleTrovilo,

Ctrl-F “cancel”: 2 results, and one is yours. Ctrl-F “boycott”: 1 result, just you.

It’s pretty clear who’s deluding themselves. You’re reacting to a phenomenon that isn’t actually happening.

Vodulas,

Based on the username might just be an annoying troll

counterfactual,

Imagine not knowing what a statistical counterfactual is. Telling on yourself, cretin.

counterfactual,

Ah yes, because the lexicology must match fucking exactly? You clearly don’t have the brainpower to actually scour the comments yourself and depend on document searches. Idiot.

SteleTrovilo,

There is literally one post from a guy canceling his GOG. Keep trying to hurl insults; you’re just proving your own lack of reading comprehension.

Templa,

Did you create this account just to be toxic everywhere?

counterfactual,

Screw you, boycotting idiot. Did you even consider that boycotting one of the only good company creates perverse incentives?

Actually no you’re probably incapable of that type of thought like the rest of your dumbass hive-mind.

Fuck yes!!!

It’s mad funny that people can’t join for so many things but for video games they unite. All for it though.

With any luck, it’s because this issue is such a slam dunk that it’s got broader support than more divisive initiatives. In reality though, it’s most likely just because YouTuber drama got more eyeballs on it; and if that’s the difference here, the EU really ought to re-examine how they do these initiatives. 1M signatures out of a population of 440M is a tough bar to clear.

Following the immense success of the Stop Destroying Videogames initiative

Wait, what immense results have come from it?

In any case, getting a proper hearing is an achievement. Hopefully it actually happens. Right now the headline says it is happening, and the article only shows that it should happen.

PrivateNoob,

The immense results is that the initiative got passed with 1.4 million votes probably

Also there is an article on the petitions EU website which states that they need to respond by July something day. Too lazy to find it sowwy

I thought it was Stop Killing Games.

QuandaleDingle,

Apparently, the “EU wing” of the movement is named Stop Destroying Videogames.
