I interviewed for a data science product manager role (I am one) at a games company. They were doing very interesting things with generative models however the person running it’s speciality was a Phd in addiction (and plenty of work in the field)

Was so interesting from an intellectual stand point but so very very evil.

A 2016 talk by Tribeflame CEO Torulf Jernström about the monetization of mobile games called "Let's Go Whaling!" also caused a bit of a ruffle a while ago.

Ominously delivered with smug smirk, met by smug laughter: "I'll leave the morality of it out of the talk. We can discuss it, if we have time, later."

Turns out they would have had time later but for some reason opted not to.

It’s like the wonderfully pretty, comfortable offices of Phillip Morris. Help everyone forget where their salaries come from.

Sounds like EA but I'm not sure if you can even speak about that right now :D

I am in no way interested in not letting people know about this. It is outrageous.

How to give the gift of dopamine no matter where you are in your gaming journey.

Introduce ‘gifts’, monitor effect and then mass deploy. All using ML tools.

Clever but oh so awful.
