The computer lost the mandate of heaven when the humble, helpful "program" was replaced with the insidious "app"

grabbing every small business owner I can find by the shoulders and yelling directly into their faces that IF I DON'T HAVE AN INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT I CAN'T SEE ANY OF YOUR SHIT GET A FUCKING WEBSITE

"all new games are going to use ai in the development process just accept it" i dunno man lately i've been playing fire emblem path of radiance for the first time and i'm having a lot of fun i think there's probably an unending amount of old games i never played that deserve my attention

Trails in the Database finally updated!!?? My saviour 🙏

I went from reading a few books a year to around one a week. I wanted to write down how I got there, how it involved rethinking my relationship to attention, and why I believe reading books can heal your brain. I hope this gives you something useful! johnpaulbrammer.substack.com/p/how-i-lear...

i think the take here with the kingdom hearts art stuff is that it sucks that we have to be so constantly on edge about if a piece of art is made with genuine love and care or if it's just more disingenuous slop. what a sad state to be in. i miss not having to worry about this stuff.

The urge to replay Cold Steel is rising, help

Me when I remember that despite all the AI bullshit in the world, there's still real artists out there:

Fuxking crazy how AI has just made people forget how to do basic things we were doing just fine for generations of human history barely three years prior? You deadass forgot how to *have ideas*?

no no you don’t understand, we only used AI for the part of the production pipeline where we didn’t want to pay employees, it’s different

Your outwards bitterness and jealousy towards your peers + complaining about not having more than twenty people who support and adore your work is scaring away what little audience you have bro. It’s killing the genuine love that small group of people has for your stories, bro.

This afternoon's reflection on AI and the dying internet.

It's annoying that the 'most of asian market doesn't hate AI' is, as infuriating as it is, correct because the amount of people around me who will gobble up slop Astounds Me

every Steam disclaimer: Wbell. We know that you the consumer have a reaction to g(COUGHS)ative AI that could possibly maybe be somewhat described as not entirely friendly which is why we used it for everyth-ING YOU DON't care about in the game.

Oops.

someone realized the ceiling fan exists and isn’t sure what to do about it

Decided to pull out an important part of the interview. Generative AI is often justified with comparisons to the cost of Amazon Web Services ($57bn) or Uber's ($32bn) in losses, when its costs and losses are hundreds of billions of dollars worse. And there's no post-bubble redemption story.

dude you gotta love people. thats the whole point. if youre not loving people what are you even doing

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

I’m glad to see that so many other writers have been running into this exact problem, at least
