EA partners with the company behind Stable Diffusion to make games with AI

Why punish valve? Do that shit through origin.

This is actually kind of interesting. This gamble is very likely to fail, EA could finally die, and its valuable IP sold off to companies that would actually make better use of them. The only wrinkle in this is that Trump's son in law owns EA now, so if it does end up failing, they'll probably find a way to get US tax payers to bail them out.

Your experience counts for jack shit. There is zero evidence that AI is substantially improving efficiency. There is some that suggests its effect is negative.
-
You make the claim it has an order of magnitude benefit, then you get to provide the proof. And there isn't any. [There is some evidence that people will fool themselves into thinking it makes them faster](https://www.reuters.com/business/ai-slows-down-some-experienced-software-developers-study-finds-2025-07-10/), and it sounds like you're one of them.

We are entering the dark ages of AAA games. They are going to be shallow ugly, buggy and dumb. Support indie devs.

Whoa this is the next level DMing. Before, to get the same result, you better have a whole team writing and producing content. You have recaps, illustrations and music for a TTRPG, yes it's still a ton of manual work but looking at how fast things are moving, it wouldn't surprise me if this is an app in a few years and everyone gets this amazing experience.

The industry finally embraces procedural textures, in the dumbest way possible.

"Making games with AI" sounds like hell… like this is what hell must be. Sitting there prompting AI, getting shitty ass results, prompting it again and again until you eventually settle for slightly less shitty results. The frustration and the loss of agency… oh God, someone should make a psychological horror about this: a frustrated artist forced to ditch their skills and tools and use AI to bring their unique vision to life, and throughout the film you watch them descend deeper and deeper into madness and depression until they burn down a data center and laugh maniacally as its disintegrating around them.Text generation is the least you can do. You can still fire up Photoshop and feed in a half-finished image. Diffusion turns whatever you have into whatever you describe. If it does decent scratches on metal, but won't put them exactly where you want, then select them and move them, and the robot will smooth it over. The very first article I read about Stable Diffusion, three years ago, had the author doodling mountains and flipping a spaceship. All the image-to-video stuff *demands* you provide art, as an input. Prompts alone are just a tech demo gone feral.
-
The haters are so mad you got the robot to do some of the things it's for. Anything beyond 'I click the button and it draws a pretty lady! I'm a *artist!*' really fucks with their absolutism. That's a threat to ingroup solidarity for the ones who've made opposition part of their identity.
-
For those that don't know, Stability AI is already a zombie, even in the local ML community. SD3 was a flop, and they shed all their devs/projects worth anything.FLUX.1 and WAN were already miles beyond Stable Diffusion a year ago. While America has been pushing capitalistic goals with LLMs, China has been releasing banger model after banger model, all as open-source. Downside is it's China and comes with their own biases, both with image generation and politics within its text models. Fortunately, some of that can be re-trained back to normal, but the technology is moving so fast.

yes ea please kill off your whole company, good riddance.
