@duke_of_germany@mastodon.gamedev.place @MaddieM4@raphus.social I've interacted with one of these in real life, and he held these two things to be true: one, the quality of his code basically doesn't matter because the product his company sells is pointless anyway. Two, only people who can "do the work of a thousand programmers" will get to keep their jobs.
Basically it's rooted in a mindset of being completely detached from material reality. To paraphrase, "nothing needs to work and you need to make as much of it as possible."

This proposed mindset seems to be a good explanation for many things I hear & read from AI guys. I still don't grasp how they can live with this mindset in the long term, though. I would not know how to construct a meaningful life on top of such depressing and hollow foundation. @lykso@tiny.tilde.website @MaddieM4@raphus.social @onepict@chaos.social
