Epic Games has reportedly delayed a shooter based on Disney’s Marvel and Star Wars franchises, with its developers told to use more AI. According to Bloomberg, the yet-to-be-named game was supposed to be released in March of 2027, but its launch date has been pushed back to an unspecified date. Aside from that, the company also told the people working on the project to switch to an "AI first" production model. One of the game directors was quoted telling staff that there will be “no more handwritten code” and that the game’s art would now be "generated with full AI workflows."

The fact that all these AI companies are so unprofitable despite this kind of nonsense happening just goes to show how big this bubble has gotten.

    Our comp has a 100$ claude license. A colleague ran it in a loop one month. If it was tokens (instesd of subsidized subscription) it would cost 10k that month.

    Some people are so shortsighted it makes me want to shake them. They are not only themselves becoming reliant on something they could never afford, they are adding slop into the organization that they can't maintain, and exfiltrating all possible trade secrets the org has to Anthropic in the process.
