NEWS: Sega Announces Crazy Taxi: World Tour Game for 2027

Messing with the slop machine, automatic disinterest.

Same. And if enough people feel the same way we do and they decide not to buy the game, Sega will go, "Welp, I guess this means people didn't want a new Crazy Taxi after all. Let's never make another one!" And I'll go, "No, you dumbasses! We wanted a new Crazy Taxi. But not like this, man. Not like this.

The OGs on the Dreamcast are still good, at least.

"Hey gamers, Sega here. We didn't need AI to make the first Crazy Taxi 27 years ago, but we're going to use it now. We are openly telling you to pay more for games that we put less work into. This is the future!"

If Generative AI existed like it did today they would absolutely gotten in on the ground floor.

In Japan now, over 60% of Japanese firms with more than 1,000 workers use generative AI. They don't have the same hang-ups regarding AI over there - Japan’s AI optimism translates into AI-friendly policies

I read a post recently on X from someone who admitted they've been so conditioned by anti-AI rhetoric that they can no longer enjoy Osamu Tezuka's works like Astro Boy or the more recent Pluto because every time they read about how AI can co-exist with humans and make art, music, and dream it makes them angry and I just find that kind of sad. I guess it's no surprise Japan who grew up with such positive and healthy messaging would be more open minded than people who get all their views from angry influencers telling them to be angry for clicks and money.
