I'm so fucking sick of these slop printers. Even "treat printer" sounds too flattering for this misanthropic bazinga fixation with having as few people involved as possible for the sheer (planet burningly wasteful) novelty of it, and also because fuck workers.

Imagine if a fraction, one-thousandth, of the funding going towards AI model training, compute time, and data center scale up went instead towards funding 3d modelers, texture artists, animators, and Godot/Blender contributors and what that could ACTUALLY USUABLY PRODUCE FOR THE COMMONS in the field.

Shit drives me absolutely insane.

Why pay them when everyone uploads stuff in an open file format and you can just steal it?

You want small dev teams to maximize profit per worker.

I want small dev teams because small indie games are consistently better than AAA slop.

We are not same.

Well the workers make the profits, the execs steal them
