workshopping a theory

It's silly seal sunday

へんしん！

Been thinking about this #estimeric fic where Estinien stalked The Azure Elephant around Ishgard and the chapter ended like this (it's such a cute chapter)

This is just going to always be my go-to response to this kind of thing anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

bluesky is where elder millennials enjoying internet retirement meet younger millennials with untreated depression

When you have a super cool secret hangout but then your STUPID YOUNGER BROTHER finds it and RUINS IT FOREVER

Regular reminder that the majority of the people who dreamed up the stories you love are, like, BROKE broke, and that most of the money spent on their work was given to Some Guy™️ instead.

I stg the lumping together of GenAI & ‘AI’ (like behaviors & the like) is deliberate obfuscation by AI supporters of what AI is to try to make it seem more widespread & liked than it actually is.

LLM makers have been ruining our language with purposeful misuse of terms from day 1. They want people to be too tired and confused to correct the discrepancies, and then just give up on criticizing them. People have to aggressively push back against them. Make the shit peddlers uncomfortable.

tl;dr: GenAI and game design concepts traditionally referred to as "AI" (enemy behaviors, pathfinding, etc.) are not the same thing, and I'm on my knees begging people to learn the difference, lest we see more bullshit claims like what The Escapist put out re: Blue Prince.

Best present ever!! 🎁

Leaving behind bad days in search of better ones 💫

you may think "oh i want to play blm so the first thing i should do is go to the balance and look up the opener" and i am here to tell you that you are wrong. the first thing you need to do is you need to get the biggest hat you can find and glamour that.

Apparently Paypal is now asking those who commissioned artists through invoices for feedback on the experience, Please never type anything, Its a trap. Just putting both yours and their accounts at risk of bans.

I genuinely think about "hold the handrail for alphinaud" so much

I have always said it, I will continue to say it, we are limiting the productive potential of millions of freaks by demanding they earn a wage to survive instead of enabling them to do whatever thing their brain is broken for

I was using AI 15 years ago to laser bacteria and identify it just by the ions it left. AI is a life-changing miracle GenAI is a life-dulling embarrassment.

1/5 Seeing some tech/ai slop accounts online claiming that AI has always been used in games, pretending GenAi is a part of that, when its absolutely not. Yes, AI has always been a part of games in: NPC behaviors, Data Mining, PCG’s (Procedural Content Generation) etc All different from GenAi!

Just got to *that* part in FFT Ivalice Chronicles and it made me think of this almost immediately.

Happy Solstice! ❄️ Here’s one of my recent winter frogs. #frogart

every day this becomes more true

Neither is herpes, but I’ll keep doing my work without either.

if one day after you’ve been taking your meds for a while you start thinking “oh yeah i don’t even need these anymore i’m normal now” that’s the devil talking to you

Say it with me now- placeholder assets are supposed to be bright and obvious so you DON’T ship with them. Also it doesn’t matter if no ai-generated assets are in the final executable?? The rising sea levels aren’t gonna be like “oh well no one saw that so the climate change doesn’t count”

"Everything Burns" Tom Morello feat. Beartooth official music video:

The media needs to stop writing headlines like “The CDC changes course on vaccines and autism” and “The CDC defends measles response”. NONE of this is coming from legitimate scientists at the CDC. ALL of it is coming from RFK Jr. Every such headline is causing further harm to public health.

I altered the goal for this to 30 usd as an irl friend generously helped me with half of it. If anyone can help me with this even if just sharing this post it'd be greatly apreciated 🙏 ko-fi.com/messmeren
