The AI industry wants us to believe AI superintelligence is the real threat from generative AI. But that narrative was crafted to distract from the many ways genAI is being used to tear our societies apart, as we saw this week when a deepfake video rocked the Irish election. It must be reined in.

Hey, my work's featured twice (#29 & #2)! I don't mean this as a boast (though an ego boost can help in tough times), but: growing up in the post-Soviet 90s, I could never even imagine this outcome at all, it isn't a "dream come true", because making games was not even a conceptual possibility.

Getting older, everytime I rewatch a Miyazaki movie I'm like "wait this is actually very fucking sad"

Psychotic's postcards for Gamescom just arrived. We are highly excited. You should be too. ~ #indiegame #gamedev #storygame #ducks #mentalhealth #illustration

Bluesky is dying cause not enough people are sharing one of the best videos ever made.

Do you need a game/level designer? Do you know of a studio that could use some help? Please help me find a job? I have almost 20 years of experience! #gamedev #indiedev

re: generative AI I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used. And now, you can use it, too.

worth pointing out that game devs at xbox are some of the very few people at microsoft engaged in work that people actually want. no one wants copilot. no one wants to rely on windows anymore. no one wants teams and no one wants drone targeting AI. but i do want pentiment

This is the way!

Columbia Journalism Review tested eight generative AI search tools and found their answers were wrong 60% of the time, and the paid ones actually fared worse than the free ones. Meanwhile, millions of people trust the way they present total bullshit with confident language.

Our friends from Darts Games are releasing their Lovecraftian Doctor simulator "Do No Harm" in under 2 hours! If you enjoyed Death and Taxes, definitely check this one out! 🔗👇

I know they're a love em or hate em band, but man I like Ghost. Give me more dumb scooby doo satanic carnival music and ridiculous videos about undead antipopes.

so, I got a bit sick of people asking me about generative AI and @yarnspinner.dev, so I wrote some LinkedIn-style (sorry) thought leadership on the matter hey.paris/posts/genai/

I can't stop thinking about her... #anglerfish

Newsletter: Generative AI is a marketing con perpetuated by Sam Altman and Dario Amodei through a mixture of lies and half-truths carried by a tech media that fails to ask the right questions. Outside of ChatGPT, generative AI companies barely get any traffic at all. www.wheresyoured.at/longcon/

This is for losing my 702 day streak.

You can’t post your way out of fascism Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them 🔗 www.404media.co/you-cant-pos...

the absolutely irony of this notification popping up when i was discussing how to turn off Gemini AI trash in google (and how difficult that has been made) with a colleague. also, the galling presumption that i'm somehow incapable of reading a whole FIVE messages without AI summary. fuck off, Slack

Hoy! Broken Alliance has gone into Early Access! If HoMM-inspired RPG-lites are of interest, this game might just be for you. Been a fairly tough two years, there's still a lot of work left for me to do, I see the roughness of early stages, but we're getting there! A lot of Great Stuff will come.

not Lynch's movie, I know, but god, what a sendoff

"eugh skibidi toilet is impenetrable and weird, I fear Gen Z is lost and brainrotted in a uniquely bad way, probably cause of cell phone." Oh really? Let me show you what everyone thought was funny when I was 13 and phones were a thing on your kitchen wall.

Dear beloveds, our game Broken Alliance releases in 4 days in Early Access. I'm not entirely sure how the Steam algorythm works, but apparently wishlists in the last week are important. Could you help me spread the word? Please share and Wishlist our game! store.steampowered.com/app/1704180/...

I wrote an update setting expectations regarding the Early Access store.steampowered.com/news/app/170...

Broken Alliance launches in Early Access NEXT WEEK, woooo! 🎉 As a treat, here's one of the combat units... The Wolfman! 🐺🔊 #Gamedev #Indiedev #Pixel #Pixelart #BrokenAlliance

With less than a week remaining before Broken Alliance releases in Early Access, Leene, our art director, is here to share some insights into the design and art of the Anchorage faction! You can check out the art and more here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/170...

If you've enjoyed Cryptmaster, please consider sharing the news. Despite an IGF award, a 95% Steam rating and a free demo, the game has gone mostly unnoticed by both press and players. It's not just a typing game and there may still be people out there who would enjoy it!

A short video showing combat with the cards! Working on making the combat fast and snappy. #Gamedev #Indiedev #Indiegamedev #Pixelart #Pixel #TurnBasedThursday
