but annoying hype is exactly the issue with AI in my eyes. I get it's a useful tool in moderation and all, but I also experience that management values speed and quantity of delivery above all else, and hype-driven as they are I fear they will run this industry to the ground and we as users and customers will have to deal with the world where software is permanently broken as a giant pile of unmaintainable vibe code and no experienced junior developers to boot.

I assume you refer to the killing, which was done offline with a physical weapon.

do you think less online anonymity would've prevented Lincoln's assassination too?

Minecraft famously runs on anything. Roblox works through Sober. Genshin Impact and Rocket League both run through Proton.

The rest have kernel level anticheat, unfortunately.

until very recently TF2's servers were infested by bots which kill you in one shot across the map. changing the server wouldn't help because they were on every server. this quite literally made the game unplayable for years.
