AMD is always hiring devrel. You get to fanboy, travel, vaguely consult on a bunch of cool titles before they come out, and it pays way better than actual gamedev. Same goes for all the other hardware manufacturers, as well as engine and Middleware companies. (Also yacht parties and drama if you swing it right)

I think you’re talking botting where I’m talking hacking. With botting, you’re right you do need “AI” where AI is the old heuristics and state machines AI. I still think anyone calling this AI in 2024 deserves to get clowned on. (And which I concede is not you).

Lol

It STILL is impossible to verify everything server side unless you have a crazy powerful adaptive AI engine the likes of which still don’t exist today and you need to scale that for hundreds of thousands of concurrent players.

Serverside anti-cheat requires AI

You need to go out in the world (where the trees don’t have pixels) and learn about this stuff if you want to be in this field / pretend to argue about it. Instead you’ve conflated the facts that other people are telling you (this is a hard problem that takes effort) with the corpo propaganda (It’s expensive so It’s impossible)

Also: Your llama-based waifu is not real. Good luck with your chat bot addiction.

You wish the CEO of a company would harass you?

You wish a CEO would give general denials and the same non-answers you see in a comment thread while pretending to engage with you in good faith?

Fuck off, the CEO gave no new info or perspectives and just showed himself to be the asshole that recent emerging evidence had been showing he was.

Not OP. Used Linux since the late 90s. My daily driver is NixOS. GUI here is synonymous with TUI.

What about GUIs appeals to you over a command line?

I like the GUI because I can see what options the tool can execute in this state. I don’t have to pass --help to grep or keep several man page sections open. The machine knows what it’s capable of and I direct it.

With CLIs I feel like I’m always relearning tools. Even something as straightforward as ‘enable a flag’ has different syntax. Is it -flag? --flag? --enable-flag? Oh look, a checkbox.

Not to say that I think a window environment is best for all things. When using an IDE, I have the terminal open constantly. Programmers are as bad at visual interfaces as they are module interfaces. If no UX designer was involved in displaying complex data or situations, I’m likely to try to fall back to the commandline. Just that - when there are GUI tools I tend to prefer them over an equivalent CLI tool.

tl;dr GUIs can represent the current state of a complex process and provide relevant context, instead of requiring the user to model that information (with large error bars for quality of the UI).

Anyway, I hope you take this in good humor and at least consider a TUI for your next project.
