In a city of world-class artists and production crew hunting for the next gig, Andrew Cuomo made a TV ad the same way he wrote his housing policy: with AI. Then again, maybe a fake Cuomo is better than the real one?

they did it. they managed to invent a new, worse kind of "human error" 👏🏻

....i didn't realize this sort of thing was going on..... i recommend *not* wearing a titanium ring with a lithium battery in it ?? and if it starts to swell while you're wearing it to absolutely not get on a plane ???

The purpose of these laws is to censor LGBTQ speech and make children less safe and easier for predators to abuse. Extremely disappointed in Bluesky for this.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

I have such good news for executives and industry leaders - it is incredibly easy for *you*, specifically, to put a stop to this. Tell these bad-faith harassers no. Loudly and publicly support your employees & industry colleagues. Shut this shit down once and for all to protect the future of games.

Stop using twitter

incredibly fucking awful

The Trump administration has canceled grants for street safety, pedestrian trails, and bike lanes in communities around the country. One official wrote that a project was canceled because it created "a road diet that is hostile to motor vehicles." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

it makes sense tbh. they fired all the game developers so now they need to hold a GDC just for the execs who are left

Hope Chicago Inc. executives make 6 figure incomes, putting them in the top 10% of the US. But the can't pay a fucking artist, instead they use stolen labor. Don't donate to them. projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/o...

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Chicago labor’s fight against child slavery in Côte d’Ivoire The Brach’s factory closure hit working families in Chicago. To fight back, these families took the struggle from the shop floor and made it international.

I think any tv channel or platform that allows these ads should get the same treatment that Disney/Sinclair is getting. Inform the other companies running ads alongside these that you're going to boycott them if they continue advertising in the same space.

Where is his condemnation of the endless amount of harassment Erika Ishii has received because they're playing the main character in Yotei?

This is the plain and simple truth of this moment. Publicly traded corporations only respond to their stock price going down.

Good grief. Folks, AI use isn't a victimless crime. It steals from artists, ups your energy and water rate costs, decimates the environment, and murders your mind. Please don't be like this poor kids parents.

ever since microsoft's layoffs in early july, the two zenimax unions have been fighting for impacted employees following the cancellation of the elder scrolls online studio's unannounced mmo. they've won laid-off workers more time (aka more pay), better severance, recall rights, and saved some jobs

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

This should be illegal.

Some people saw our withdrawal from Meta platforms as simply being "anti-AI". No, the issue is Meta itself. Not only have they demonstrated disinterest for protecting the most vulnerable users - they actively thwart efforts to do so. This is true when it comes to AI, VR, or anything else.

please familiarize yourself with this whole website thank you kindly

I see RealXP is out drumming up business again. This is a predatory middleman that makes devs pay to do work offloaded from game studios (without gaining any studio experience or connections) AND charges studios for the work done. I strongly recommend avoiding them. www.realxplab.com

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".

And when they declare trans people mentally ill the next step will be to broaden it to queer people at large b/c since when have differences between ppl in any marginalized community ever existed for evil people. Again: cis queers of all colors have to repudiate this. None of us are exceptions.
