Some people may think this is counter to my zero tolerance stance but I’m not gonna swear off a developer for very brief experimentation back before the true scale and perversity of Regurgitative AI was widely acknowledged, especially when the conclusion was “this feels wrong.”

I very much don’t regret hedging my bets with my award video now. I’m fine with this reasoning. I can understand playing with AI BS back then. I dicked around with really early image makers like many people did when it seemed more like a toy. So yeah, not gonna pillory it, glad I hung back a bit.

I initially didn't know what it could be but looks like this might be the cause

its the only industry i know that is (drugs) bc porn is not

no you don’t need to touch grass, try the front bumper of a truck doing at least 60

you don’t hate trans lesbians you just hate the yucky ones? youve got a word for it that separates the good ones from the predatory ones? cool yay :) i cant wait to hear your analysis. go outside.

anyway hilarity aside, the implication that Canada is a vassal-state of the US and so their non-state-owned media is not supposed to make Americans look silly is just such a damning statement if you like freedom of the press.

"Since they are Canadian, I would not rule out treachery" is such a hilarious line because it is in fact 100% backwards. You can't be a traitor to a country you're not from??????

I have some devastating news to share... The museum is available on VRChat (VR not required) at: pitr.dev/project/museum

The US government is lying to you to protect a conspiracy of pedophile billionaires. Why? Because the President, Donald Trump, is one of the pedophile billionaires. Every Republican who sides with Donald Trump prefers fascism led by ultra-rich rapists over democracy.

"Should devices do the checks?" NO! A PARENT gives their child unsupervised access to the internet; they are being NEGLIGENT. Digital divices are not babysitters. The OSA stifles online communication, not just the porn industry. It's idiocy. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I have to point out this article is absolute dogshit and is complaining about Bethesda not pirating Photoshop to avoid AI use, which would be utterly insane and make development significantly harder, and suggests Bethesda uses AI the same way everyone does when they use modern scaling tools.

NEW: By a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court blocks Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Chicago to assist immigration agents. A majority holds that he likely lacks authority to do so. Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

The article goes on to explain that the letter is a fake, and why it's a fake... and I firmly think that it exists and was put in the files expressly to seed the doubts and lies and will be the 'SEE! IT'S ALL BS' from apologists and True Beelieeeveeeers' It's pizzagate level nonsense I think.

Yep. But now try to find any of these lol

we went from "no hidden algorithms controlling what you see" on bsky to "we'll hide your posts from even you if our sentiment snitch bot doesn't like what you posted"

Thanks. As soon as the reply is quote-posted it becomes visible. You should be able to find it now. bsky.app/profile/libe...

Could someone try to search for this post and see if it can be found?

Remember kids, if you're working today, no you're not. It's Christmas Eve Eve. Put 8 hours of fake meetings on your outlook calendar. You're meeting with Santa. Take a dozen smoke breaks and feed a reindeer. Dasher and Dancer love Newports. This work week is over if you believe it is.

So, when we read what was redacted, I'm not understanding why this needed to be redacted.

Yeah I mean who the fuck needed to compete with China and Russia in Africa anyways

Keep spreading it.

Well I’ll give Bari Weiss this: she figured out how to get millions of people to watch 60 Minutes on a Monday

That CBS 60 minutes episode that got pulled is available for streaming via a VPN provider using a Canadian IP address - the international broadcaster didn't pull it. watch.globaltv.com/series/2893d...

This is delightful and also, of course, fuck Bari Weiss for being the transparent tool of a corrupt and criminal administration

60 Minutes Inside CECOT segment

my opinion of Hoyoverse is pretty low at this point but them putting out a developer interview where they flippantly talk about how all the employees are forced to crunch in overtime because their regular hours are gives them no opportunity to do their jobs is fuckin depressing

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

Your power bill has tripled and you can't afford new PC parts just to create this.

hey this wound up in your hidden replies for some reason, just posting it here to increase traffic on the two-way street that is vital first amendment discourse

It begins. They didn’t tell me what the offending post was and they force log you off the site until the suspension is over. Twitter still let you read the site while logged in during a suspension.

I can *100% assure you* that if this report found that trans people & "wokeness" tanked the Harris campaign, the DNC would release it in a heartbeat

"This seems dodgy to me, I think I'll pass" isn't proof, so I'm 100% erring on the side of caution. I'm not infallible, I can get things wrong, and I don't ever want to fuck up some indie dev's career by mistake. But the big reason I don't name and shame? The sheer volume of the slop is unending.

False accusations of AI usage can and does happen with some regularity, and it is incredibly disappointing to see. There's one game in particular which got accused of using AI generated voice acting, when I knew for a fact it absolutely did not because I know some of the voice actors involved.

However, I also don't want to be responsible for making any false accusations of AI usage or putting some innocent developer on blast, because while I'll certainly reject games over what I suspect is undisclosed AI usage, not passing my sniff test isn't enough for making public accusations.

I've complained a lot about how I'm constantly being sent AI generated slopware games to my various inboxes, and I got asked a couple of times why I don't "name and shame" these devs? Well you really can't shame the shameless for a start, but also it would be the only attention these chancers got...
