So I have a question Tim.
If you're having an AI code for Unreal Engine what's stopping devs from just using AI to code their own game engine and cut the middle man? Why use your engine and pay you when they can make their own for free?
Or is it only theft when it effects you?
Nobody will give up their convenience. The "A.I. is just a tool" crowd is addicted. I am still taking courses to learn to code... for myself.
AI destroyed my industry. Real thing. I teach people. Always have. At one point I was earning 100k a month selling online coding courses.
Today I can’t make money with training videos if I wanted to. My peers have the same issue: AI is killing video courses. Why learn a tech skill when AI can do the work?
It’s frustrating. But it’s also an opportunity. Now I do more human coaching than ever before.
I spend way more time helping people reach outcomes (vs just a skill).
I’ve had to adapt. I have anxiety from time to time and working closely with people often drains me. But I’ve had to evolve how I work.
The same with coding and SAAS. Everything is changing.
It’s ironic, with AI I’ve personally been forced to be more human and connect at a more human level in order to connect with people and sell products. People are less tolerate of noise and slop.
I’m 40 and learning new things is harder. But I have to. And honestly, I’m having more fun learning AI than struggles and hardships.
All to say is that I’m navigating this changing world like everyone else and I think there is no need to group people in buckets of “Pro AI vs Against AI”
We are all people. And just because things are hard doesn’t mean they are wrong.
Pretty soon we will be buying AI slop simply because we can't afford the tokens to make it ourselves....

notice..
> Delta is blocking AI agents from booking flights
> JPMorgan Chase and Charles Schwab block agents from accessing accounts
> Yelp requires paid data licensing for agents
> Amazon has blocked Grok bot and other shopping agents.
the internet is starting to block AI agents that were supposed to do everything for us

I’m about to cancel Claude Code man I swear to God.
It’s REQUIRING me to sign in to a TEST account on LOCALHOST so it can QA!
This is absolute 🐴💩 !!
I am so close to cancelling my subscription and switching to Codex or open-source models that won’t slow me down.
I really don’t care for the extra intelligence cuz Fable isn’t that much better than Astra anyway. Neither is Opus 5.5 vs. 6.1 Sol.
I just got a taste of what these AI companies will do once they have power and it’s going to be a total dictatorship.
They will decide what you can or cannot do even though you’re paying for it and they’re stealing all your data.
This made me realize I really need to invest in my own infrastructure and have an unrestricted model to free myself from the chains of these AI overlords.
This is insane!
@AnthropicAI please do something about this!
