Then don't. There is a growing number of single-player games that want an internet connection and even an online account.

Bunk. Nobody expects you to do unpaid work. Just don't make the game depend on the availability of your server, or other forms of planned obsolescence.

Aren't there also browser APIs for location services? I imagine this functionality could be possible with a web app. Edit: What I don't know is whether a web app running on iOS could do the equivalent of a push notification. Las

Nah, the following generation will have all of that, and more, done by “AI”. No need to learn anything anymore, except giving voice commands to a computer. /s

Should we be surprised that Microsoft doesn't know maths? Was the code for that generated by an LLM?

Worse than that, since the nth power of 1 should still be 1. Except when you're running Microsoft-ware, of course.

“Hidden ingredients” ==> none of them understand how and why any of this works (or not). They could be easily defeated by Harry Potter, because he understands magic!

I imagine this would only be a gradual change. Applicants have been lying in their resumes just fine before LLMs. Finding good people has never been easy.

The cynic in me says there's no problem with that. Either their jobs will be just as LLM-heavy and prompt-jockeying was the right skill to learn, or they won't be able to hold any job because they didn't learn anything relev
