Almost like we knew the title was clickbait bullshit!

Me suspects the latter
You don’t think having to go through all this to stop it again next time, but it’s even harder because it can now be implemented orders of magnitude faster than before, counts as a “huge loss”?
He means this builds all the backend and proof of concepts necessary to force it on every other environment, and websites will be prepared for the switch, giving the public that much less time to react when they push it to desktop again
It’s basically “OK, we can’t stop the pushback, so we’ll tell the public it will only work on android web view, but all teams keep working full steam, we’ll wait to merge into the bigger systems until all this dies down, and we won’t have lost any dev time!”
It means a bunch of work to undo all the things Google is about to do
The coffee shop isn’t getting paid by someone besides the customer for them to drink the coffee
Unless they’re doing some pharmaceutical beta testing without us knowing, which would then be more in line with how we’re treated by meta
Due to the low amount, I’d say this is more about combating botting atm
Audio cues can be intentionally non specific enough for the client to be able to determine the exact location of the source and for a cheat to overlay the position, tho.
Seriously, you guys see all the overwork, burnout, and abuse of developers for basic fucking features on launch but somehow manage to have nationstate level architecture to prevent cheaters, but oh they just can’t manage to beat the cheaters by not having 3rd party malware and spyware on every connected machine? Some people really here need to grow up and remember the conditions under which these games are made. Games have basically 0 security considerations, proven by their willingness to outsource the entire concept to a 3rd party who can take all the legal liability and at the same time giving us the sorriest excuse for “anti-cheat” while still not solving the problem.
Server side monitoring of inputs and better code that didn’t tell the client computer where everyone was behind walls would be a start.
Let’s not pretend that anticheat isn’t a poorly made, anti-consumer bandaid for a game company’s lack of investment in security and quality net code.
Executable and maintainable
AI generated code can’t, as of yet, go in and fix a bug
And the author clearly has no idea what she’s talking about, or the impact of AI on CS.
I use chatgpt regularly to build outlines and boilerplate to code I want to write. Yes it’s code I can’t trust and almost entirely rewrite, but simply the act of it naming the variables saves me time.
And even if it did get to the point of good code, you have to be a developer to know what it created is what you wanted in the first place.
This is fearmongering targeting tech people by claiming their jobs are at the same level of risk of disruption by ai as other white collar jobs (like hers!).
You think this particular issue doesn’t have full bipartisan support among the elites?
You’re delusional
