any moots know of spaces like this (actual anti spaces, not apologist)?

so Horses was a problem, but Valve I guess is fine with this racist crap that flagrantly violates at least two of its content guidelines and has 300+ reviews that all almost certainly violate those guidelines too kotaku.com/racist-plant...

Bungie friends: you deserve better. We as gamedevs deserve better. The industry deserves better.

Ideas are a dime a dozen. They come every day, every second, every moment The problem is the people who have money dont want to listen AI isn't an idea machine. It's a thought killer. It doesn't generate ideas, just recycles ones that already exist Much like a middle manager suck up would. Worthless

The perpetuation of AI hype and boosterism is predicated on easy compliance. Refusal -- individually and collectively -- matters.

About local LLMs: I can see how it's more energy efficient than the big ones (it still seems to required high-end GPU/RAM, so its debatable) But even if you disregard the energy component, weren't all these models were trained on stolen data? Are people just-ok to ignore that fact now?

My dad said he's got a doc friend using for transcription bc they're overworked and I had to explain that a) ai is often an indicator for where a system needs more actual humans & support b) og transcription that gets some words wrong is not the same as software that *makes up things nobody said*

gorgeous write-up of @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social’s game about the Nakbah, made by a developer in the occupied West Bank and crowdfunding now. please, please support this vital creative work 💜 www.rockpapershotgun.com/palestinian-...

not even done with this slay the spire mod and i already have another very stupid idea for a mod presenting THE SHITTY WIZARD, an incredibly powerful spellcaster with a grimoire they can't fucking read

updated profile icon for the current vibe ✌️

Having AI do your brainstorming sounds awful. It's the funnest, easiest part! You just sit there, thinking of fun things, and hang out with friends while they think of fun things! It's literally just thinking of fun things without having to implement any of it! Why would you outsource that part??

"The Ghost in the Shell" anime series by Science Saru is coming on July 7 (Prime Video). New trailer >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=yedJ...

Worth remembering, on multiple fronts: when regimes focus on bellowing repeated threats the main point's to instill fear and cover up real weaknesses in power and capacity. Doesn't mean there ain't real dangers, but it's important to keep in mind.

can't recommend watching this vid by @jjbbllkk.bsky.social enough, even if you're not a musician. it's music-focused, but it's about how YouTube traps you into 'watching' instead of 'learning', and so much of this applies to drawing, 3D, or any other creative endeavor www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5xy...

i genuinely thought this was aftermath mocking the actual quote and that the actual quote was something that meant the same thing but was a little better obfuscated. nope! this is just! the quote!

This is brilliantly put, and I want to add that a lot of software engineers also mistrust software brain. We are on the frontlines of trying to translate reality into code so we see all the gaps where the translation fails.

Here we go

Walkthrough of the first 4 levels of my weird billiards game. I've been out of work as a game artist for 5 months, so I can't afford to chase this on a hunch. If it were a real game, would you play it? castpixel.itch.io/ping #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #indiedev

If you're a developer who wants an insanely good horror game, we are looking for funding

i love that heather's games are drilling into abstract concepts explored through easy to understand mechanics. unfair flips being about our inability to process probability, and this game seems to be exploring limited choice as distraction from circumstance. so cool!! stoked to play it.

good morning this is a real texture in Marathon

An emerging asymmetry: when AI critics say things that are incorrect or out of pocket, those things get laser-targeted by "reasonable" people almost instantly; however, AI boosters say utter nonsense all the time but they're given the benefit of the doubt, because the reality of the tech is murky.

I added a new shader to my portal asset. Now you can use a texture combined with a mask texture to create more cool portals! nojoule.itch.io/pixel-portals #godotengine #vfx #gamedev #indiedev

Early 3D Pokemon renders by Keiji Kinebuchi from the late 1990s that got my brain wired up

Thought I was pressing it wrong

Not everything that breaks is technically the fault of vibe coding but the kind of culture that would foster vibe coding is the kind that produces a lot of shit that breaks.

100% truth. Watching outsiders try to turn "unc" into "uncool" almost as soon as they learned about it gave me flashbacks to decades ago when pundits on TV claimed Public Enemy's logo has a state trooper in the crosshairs.

HELLO. I'M GETTING SURGERY IN LESS THAN 12 HOURS. ALSO HYPNOSPACE IS 75% OFF ON STEAM. IT'D BE RAD TO WAKE UP FROM THE PROCEDURE TO A WHOLE BUNCH OF REPOSTS. PLEASE ENJOY THIS VERY LONG SCREENSHOT. ❤️

when you love blorbo but blorbo is owned by one of the most evil conglomerates on earth but also the stuff made for blorbo is made by real people putting love and work into it but also they're probably underpaid but also they probably still wanna keep their jobs 😔

the bgm track is now available on bandcamp! for free, or pwyw put it on your operating system, or stream, or video, or whatever~ radicaldreamland.bandcamp.com/track/phanto...

DLSS 5 is a story about generative AI, yes, but it's also a story about a tech company making moves to swallow up an entire technology pipeline, which to me is at least as big a deal as overtuned, ugly generative AI game re-renderings.
