Minecraft’s creator went from ‘reject AI’ to vibe coding

Markus Persson, the creator of Minecraft, initially opposed the use of artificial intelligence in programming, calling it an "incredibly bad idea" and stating that proponents of AI in coding were either "incompetent or evil." However, after learning that tech companies like Google and Microsoft generate 20-30% of their code with AI, he began to reconsider his stance. Persson faced challenges in hiring skilled programmers and expressed that he would feel less remorse in letting go of a chatbot than a human employee. He started exploring practical applications for AI tools and acknowledged that his initial resistance was more about suppression than a well-reasoned stance.

Krafton confirms Subnautica 2 leak showing that the publisher wanted more content for the early access launch, leading to delay and leadership ouster

Krafton has confirmed the authenticity of a leaked development assessment for Subnautica 2, indicating a need for more content and refinement before launch. The postponement of the game has led to conflict between Krafton and former Unknown Worlds leaders Charlie Cleveland, Ted Gill, and Max McGuire, with a now-deleted post on r/pcgaming calling for a boycott due to their firings. Cleveland stated that the game is ready for early access, suggesting a disagreement over the development timeline. Krafton expressed feelings of "profound betrayal" towards the former leaders, accusing them of neglecting their responsibilities, particularly Cleveland, who was alleged to have prioritized a personal project. Cleveland and the former leaders have initiated legal action against Krafton.
