  • From a worker standpoint, while you’re researching that thing you can find for yourself, someone of equal skill to you that is leveraging AI has solved 3 of those issues. And someone with more skill has solved 10. And someone with lesser has either crashed the network, or solved that same 1.

    This is complete fantasy. I’ve personally watched like 10 SEs decide LLMs are the best things since sliced bread and talk up how much more productive they are and without exception they’re all to varying degrees just worse at their job. Same for every other role I’ve observed as well, though I have fewer data points.












  • I’ve played FF8 more than any other FF and it’s partially for what the author is complaining about.

    I can see complaining about the battle systems because they’re pretty loose, but personally I think it’s fun to play anyway.

    The complaint about the characters not having a much of a story I guess is technically true if you compare it to the hamfisted diversions from the main story a lot of rpgs do to force a story arc for a character, but all of the characters feel like they are part of the group for a good reason because of their back stories and they all grow during the game.

    I would just have to disagree on the writing. The story is why I play the game every few years. In fact, counter to the author’s claim that it is incoherent, almost everything you do has to do with the sorceresses and history of the garden, without ever feeling like you got sent on an inconsequential side quest in the middle of a crisis.
