What a quote.

2025 recapped

GenAI isn't synonymous with plagiarism because of how it's *used*, it's synonymous with plagiarism because of what it *is*, how it *works*. GenAI is plagiarism because it can do no other. It cannot work without a massive body of works to smoosh together, for too much to license it all with honesty.

Aren't Professor Layton games based on learning critical thinking? Why would a person who makes games for critical thinkers advocate for utterly abdicating cognition?

If a binder is a medical device then so should be other smoothing shapewear. Where's Victoria's Secret's letter from the FDA? Where's Yitty's and Savage x Fenty's letters?

Here’s a statement from Tomboyx in response to the FDA issuing warnings considering binders to be medical devices.

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.

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

“‘My most daring idea is to refuse,’ she said to applause.”

Reading is thinking, and afterwards, writing is thinking. Doing an "AI" summary eliminates thinking in both steps. A doc told me some of her colleagues are using "AI" to write their case notes. Her take: oh hell no, because writing the case notes is when you think about the case.

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”

The big flex you can have as an artist is to just bust out a sketch in person, on the spot. No references or aid, only the stuff you have in your head + muscle memory. In my ex, folks are most impressed by the speed + confidence in which you know your shit. Impossible to farm that aura with AI.

It’s so cool that every website is just Like This now. We used to send guys to the chair for putting pop-up ads on their sites. Now if I want to read something I have to read single lines between autoplaying video ads that use so much RAM they force the browser to reload every 5 seconds.

Our society only seems to promote people who think the point of art is to hold a finished product, rather than the process of creation. I'm ashamed to admit how much it bothers me that you can be so obviously ignorant and still be taken seriously.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

I’m glad to see comic creators talking more openly about what they’re being paid from publishers, especially with the creator resource and coop surveys in the last few years. What I’d love to see next is a reckoning for publishers who do nothing to promote a book’s release.

Had two early afternoon meetings away from the office and now that I can start my work day it's already 4pm. Winter, man. Your whole day is just cut in half.

Lithgow saying that a family friend with a trans kid came to him and literally said “please don’t do this” and he did it anyway really gives the game away. they don’t not know
