"The AI generated assets are placeholder and will not exist in the final game"

It’s weird to have worked both in marketing and journalism and see how authenticity is constructed and consumed as a product.

Kotaku knowing that folks don't read articles anymore, just headlines.

By the way the title is clickbait BS here what he actually said & it's far from what the title suggest.

Not what he said... what he said was, according to -the article itself-: "We’ll find a good way, a good path to how we use technology" and "AI works best as a janitor for creative chores"

I was having an issue playing some of my sample files through the Music app where they sounded awful & distorted, even though they sounded fine in every other player. Turns out I had to disable all of the "enhancing" settings in the app. Then they played just fine. 🙃

For Pride I ask you to look at what I think is one of the most powerful pieces of queer art. Electric Fan (Feel it Motherfuckers) By John Boskovich

Horror people turn up for unfamiliar movies with unproven directors and no-name actors. Horror people are the ones who don't use "low-budget" as a pejorative. Horror people will watch horror from 100 years ago. It's not weird that horror people are like this, it's weird that other genre fans aren't.

It is going to be the smaller projects and creators who end up holding the line while watching all those who inspired us give in and that's so sad.

‘The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act’ tops the Thursday box office with $7.8 MILLION from over 2,000 theaters, beating ‘Scary Movie’. The film is projected to make around $12 million throughout the opening weekend.

We've made a list of games that use Gen AI and updated the Carrd! This will eventually be expanded to cover more things, but we're still figuring out the layout It contains both games that we've posted and ones that we haven't yet so you may see some new titles docs.google.com/spreadsheets... -E

I wish I could say that this is entirely due to my ethical stance on AI, but if I'm being entirely honest? There is a bit of passive aggressiveness involved bc even if a project using AI listens to my audition & thinks I'm the most perfect of perfect voice, they'll know I won't accept their offer.

Lyrics for “Little Mermaid” were written by Howard Ashman, a gay man diagnosed with HIV in the midst of production. He also wrote the lyrics for “Beauty and the Beast” and died in 1991 just before its release. His partner accepted his Oscar. “Part of Your World” hits differently knowing this 🏳️‍🌈

Male gamers are babies.

this game is AI slop. I don't care if they replaced everything, they still used it, still forced their employees to clean it up, and if someone steals once you can't really trust them not to again studios need to understand that AI usage is toxic and our behavior is the only power we have

LET WOMEN HAVE HOBBIES

I've started putting my anti-AI clause & disclosure requirements in all my pitch letters and audition submissions when it isn't already addressed because I don't want to potentially be chosen for a project just to find out they used AI after the fact. This way they can just reject me right away.

Black Forest Labs (like Stability AI) likely took a bunch of work off the internet in order to train their AI. A bill in California would force transparency in their dataset. Want to help it pass? Please sign this petition in support, it'll take you 2 minutes: tinyurl.com/4uxbp963 1/

Endlessly inventive rap force Tierra Whack announces new mixtape 'Whack's Museum'

this is cranky or "old man"; it's just true. and referring to reading/watching/experiencing art as "consuming" media is another facet of the problem. just flattens everything created by humans into generic goo! of course it meant that some people were perfectly ready to have machine-made goo too

“I was tricked by a devil and betrayed by my lessers, but an evil power sustains me” is SUCH a hard line

Thinking about all the comic and animation artists and voice actors and creatives who were never paid what they were worth, who live in debt, who died in debt, *before AI* and now watching all these rich sellouts helping make sure AI will crush even more people far more creative than they are.

Andy Merrill (Brak) is an Amazon delivery driver. Carey Means (Frylock) got CHF from/exacerbated by COVID & was recently working as a restaurant dishwasher. C. Martin Croker (Zorak) died of sepsis from an infected tooth he couldn't afford to get treated. Capitalism destroys both art & artist.

When prominent big name successful artists give in, instead of walking away, they are telling the rest of us to give up too.

Sometimes folks we look up to let us down. It's never easy, and I don't think I'll ever fault someone for looking up to others. When they let you down, the best you can do is uphold the principles you want in art and creation, and lift up those who champion them too.

Matthew Lillard criticized the industry for prioritizing celebrities over voice actors in animation: “The ability to carry a film, as the lead of a film with only a voice, is a power very few people have. The idea that they keep hiring crappy celebrities to carry huge films is killing us.”

Heated Rivalry and Widow's Bay representing excellence in my two favorite genres and showing folks how it's done? I love to see it.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Pride is a celebration. Its roots are rebellion. This year we’re embracing anger as a catalyst for change. not something to suppress. 🏳️‍⚧️ share our hotline 🏳️‍⚧️ check on your trans loved ones 🏳️‍⚧️ speak up, stay loud We're going nowhere. https://translifeline.org/donate

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

I'm excited to announce that today we have filed to take Magic Beans, Inc. public. This is an important milestone for our team, our investors, and our customers. We expect to list in the coming weeks, hopefully before the general public discovers the Terrible True Cost of our beans.

Trans and queer anti-Zionist Jews have no pride in Israeli genocide and apartheid.Just as we won’t let the Israeli government use Jewish identity, culture, and religion to justify the oppression of Palestinians, we won’t let it co-opt our queer and trans liberation struggle to pinkwash its crimes.
