seems a poignant week to repost this

So look man if we're just gonna be online here watching all these big studios come out and lay down on the tracks about Gen AI going "I have to do this for some reason." then I think it's more important than ever to celebrate games from based devs who are out here openly posting "Nuh uh, fuck that."

Hard no to this: French publisher Harlequin has told translators that their work will now be done by AI. They can ‘revise’ AI translations at much lower rate. It’s a subsidiary of Harper Collins so treat this as a test for rollout elsewhere

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

"they don't know how to express the idea" here's rian johnson's storyboard for knives out pick up a pencil and a napkin

I remember getting yelled at when I called out Clair Obscur for using the slop generators earlier this year. "It was a rogue asset", "It was a contractor", and so on. Welp, here's the goddamn producer saying they use them.

In a similar vein, explore old media. For every big piece of entertainment you’re looking forward to, there are at least 100 other works that have already been made in the decades prior that would appeal to you. And guaranteed to be made exclusively by humans!

ANIMATED VIOLENCE STRONG

This means its harder to find good stories, but generative slop is seeing to that anyway It means I will stay mostly to indie authors I can talk to and know their stance on the plagiarism machine If I ever see an AI book cover, that author is dead to me We have to demand better to do better 2/2

As an bibliophile who reads around 2+ books a week, I know that the words I put in my mind is as critical as the food i put into my body I am making a conscious choice to vet books I read. I learn about authors before handing over money. I will not read anything with even a hint of slop in it 1/

the disdain for workers losing their livelihoods just drips off of this whole fucking thing like mud off a pig. The smug confidence of a man who has convinced himself that HE is definitely uniquely irreplaceable, only LESSER work is under threat.

If you've ever said that you support trans people, it's time to take a stand. It's time to prove that you care more about your trans friends than you do for Fortnite and Harry Potter. Show them you won't stand for Fortnite putting money into the pockets of bigots running anti-trans orgs.

What a difference a year makes over at Larian.

This is why ID verification laws are bad. No website can truly have the security it needs to keep ANY information safe. Not a single one.

Telly improves all wads.

Everything in the fire. Everything. Spend as much money as possible. We must spend more and more money or else we will expire. Sam Altman must spend every dollar otherwise how will he possibly make more money more money spend more money make money spend money

Happily ever after🥹

Yoshizane Akihiro’s early Bug Bug covers are so good✨

You can tell how cool and good AI is because every time someone announces they're using it they have to immediately rush to disclaim that actually they're only using it a LITTLE bit, just the tiniest bit, not even THAT much really. The future of art is here, and it's measured in acceptable ppm

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out. This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

Room over Room in Doom is one thing, but what about Room over Room over Room? I love it when a 'truly' 3-dimensional structure comes together within these limitations. Gonna have fun furnishing, decorating and filling the encounters in. #DoomMapping

global adoption of linux gets pushed back by 6 years every time a Linux Guy starts talking at me like max headroom

epic will pay for every game that gets claimed this way so yes, you are still giving money to rowling (and by extension an international campaign against trans people) by claiming this there are other, better franchises - let this one go

Randomly been getting notifications from stuff that looks like various kinds of phishing bots, I guess those are on here in full force now.

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

Have you ever wondered if Doom needed more shotguns? I found something from my archives that answers that question, and it's more shotguns than your doctor recommends. www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-6L...

A bird, unbothered by the cold #oc #ocsky #art #webtooncanvas

While digging through my Game Boy carts last night I found what might be my favorite bootleg find. The title and label really capture what I love about unofficial releases.

Game Awards last year took place during a videogame strike against AI The strike wasn’t mentioned or acknowledged despite many VO performers working on the games that are heralded every year and even appearing on stage This year a game that features AI voiceover gets a podium to accept an award.

of course I know her… she’s me!
