Stable Diffusion made one blip and the technology, everything it stood for was a joke before and after that that single blip. The fact that someone gave that tech the time of day is ridiculous.
This is actually kind of interesting. This gamble is very likely to fail, EA could finally die, and its valuable IP sold off to companies that would actually make better use of them.
The only wrinkle in this is that Trump’s son in law owns EA now, so if it does end up failing, they’ll probably find a way to get US tax payers to bail them out.
Will my steam account get banned if I pre-order every one of their games, click play for 5 minutes then instantly refund? I have my faith, but I don’t know if they’d see that as abuse of their refund policy.
Idk it’d be pretty cool to see steam go “sorry, your games are too unreliable and too much of a risk now.” And stop offering them. And then they’ll go out of business when the only people buying their games are the 10 people with origin installed.
For those that don’t know, Stability AI is already a zombie, even in the local ML community. SD3 was a flop, they shed all their devs/projects worth anything, and now with Qwen/Longcat SAI is beyond obsolete.
Apparently EA didn’t get the message. They invested in a broken, burning company who’s only decent results are free and old?
FLUX.1 and WAN were already miles beyond Stable Diffusion a year ago. While America has been pushing capitalistic goals with LLMs, China has been releasing banger model after banger model, all as open-source.
Downside is it’s China and comes with their own biases, both with image generation and politics within its text models. Fortunately, some of that can be re-trained back to normal, but the technology is moving so fast.

oh great since humans wont be working on it there will be no reason for it to cost money right?

More likely snatched up by VC to put them on (fuck) ICE or passed around to other AI companies until they’re really good and dead.
I can’t start boycotting a company that I’ve been boycotting for well over a decade.
Last thing I bought from them was Mass Effect (only the first one) circa 2008 I think.
Double boycott
So, repeatedly buy and return games?

Why punish valve? Do that shit through origin.

I don’t want to punish my computer by installing origin.
Carry on, sir.

We are entering the dark ages of AAA games. They are going to be shallow ugly, buggy and dumb.
Support indie devs.
🌍🧑🚀🔫🧑🚀🌚
Support the open source devs. Spring engine games!
Clearly the fix the AAAA games.
This will suck so fucking hard
Just look at skate. Now imagine that but somehow worse and even uglier
It wont if you dont buy their shit.
The tagline of everything EA has touched for years now.
I mean it’s definitely gonna be entertaining, but I’ll watch that embarrassment from afar.
For them
if isnt already bad enough that SAUDIA arabia and kushner owns it.
To be fair, it probably won’t suck any more than EA games have for the past… er… ten years?
15+ BF3 was when I made my vow to stop supporting them for releasing unfinished buggy ass games.
Sorry. Time flies.
What are these ass games you are talking about? Im willing to look past them being buggy.
I don’t know what they’re taking about. Amarillo’s Butt Slapper isn’t published by EA.
Respawn still made some pretty fun games. But errr yea that’s pretty much it.
The industry finally embraces procedural textures, in the dumbest way possible.
For those that don’t know, Stability AI is already a zombie, even in the local ML community. SD3 was a flop, they shed all their devs/projects worth anything, and now with Qwen/Longcat SAI is beyond obsolete.

…Sounds about right.
FLUX.1 and WAN were already miles beyond Stable Diffusion a year ago. While America has been pushing capitalistic goals with LLMs, China has been releasing banger model after banger model, all as open-source.

Who fucking asked for that? WHO??!!
The Saudis? 🤷♂️
They all went to the same Donald Trump business school.
Wages are very expensive.
Fire as many people as you can.
Shareholders see number go up.
They’re trying to cut costs to pay for the loans they took to make the acquisition
Booooo EA Suuuuuuuuucks, it’s always sucked, it’s always gonna suck. As far as my purchasing power goes, this changes nothing. Rot in hell EA
LOL Good thing I am going to continue my boycott of anything EA, I can’t wait to see how hard this is going to fail.
Sure, why not? Its up to gamers to dump them, and only time will tell how this will evolve.
It also comes to the point replacing employees with AI.
