  1. Gotta go ahead and downvote because of the site, but I’m interested in the story for sure.

    Does anyone have a link on this story to a site that’s not paywalled?

    I’m sure my C levels are gonna forward this story around like they do every time some other org gets phished and demand that they themselves stop using the chat bot to run the company right? I really cannot continue arguing with AIs via human senior leader proxy. I’m so tired.

    Actually the AI told him not to basically and he refused that answer so the AI came up with another answer.

    That’s the problem with probability based AI. It will always answer, it won’t always be right especially if you reject the first highest probability response.

  4. Honestly, I wasn’t planning to get Subnautica 2 at launch, but now I’m going to just to help make sure they get their sales target bonus cause fuck this dude

    Thus is hilarious! The jokes litterally write themselves! How stupid do you have to be to ignore paid legal advisors for fancy google with a bowtie?

  6. The AI told him no first. He kept asking until it changed its mind. He wasn’t looking for legal advice, he was looking for permission.

    Everyone is laughing at the execution, but look at the instinct. The second a CEO faces a $250M payout to human talent, his immediate reflex is to ask an AI how to eliminate them. Give enterprise legal-AI two more years and these automated corporate hit jobs will actually work.

    For some local Korean context – this same CEO just went on national television a few days ago casually chatting about his personal salary of roughly $450,000 *a month*. He’s making millions while literally trying to use a free AI chatbot to cheat the actual game devs out of their bonus.

  8. This is what happens when you have people in charge chasing Penny’s in front of a steamroller because they are so greedy they don’t realize they are cutting the tree limb they are sitting on. Pure greed.

    Good luck making anymore future contacts.

    This idiot just prove to the public that he is an unreliable scum who will not honor their contact if there is more money to be made.

    They have broken their trust and this is gonna cost them billions in future contacts and F them.

  10. Somewhere out there the stupidest person you know is being told that they are absolutely right from chatgpt

  11. Good job dude, you now gave your board justification to fire you and not pay out your bonus.

  12. I found Subnautica moderately exciting and played NS2 for a few years, but I can’t see how Unknown Worlds could possibly be worth 500 mil, let alone how 250 mil could be regained through releasing Subnautica 2 before a certain deadline. Unknown Worlds create niche games for small aduiences. No offense, but surely they could never rake in anywhere close to 750 mil?

  13. This really goes to show that it doesn’t matter how much money you make or what leadership position you are in, you can still be incredibly stupid.

  14. Lots of people who don’t get the answer they want just keep asking until they find someone willing to give them the answer they want. Occasionally it works out if that person is actually more creative or resourceful, but usually it just digs a bigger hole. Now with AI they get a more compliant respondent.

    I asked ChatGPT how to do a lobotomy. As you can see, I’m still depressed.
