This shit is so fucking funny

this is a good battle to pick. the CEO mentioned using "AI" and got so much shit for it immediately that he's rattled and backpedaling. easy win there

Expedition 33 shipped with GenAI assets (that they quietly updated) plus they literally just admitted to using it. If Sandfall gets a pass, but Larian doesn't then what the fuck are we doing here?

#ai #mozilla #firefox #fuckAI #genAI #fuckGenAI

Zionism endangers Jews everywhere by tying their safety - whether wanted or not, Israeli or not - to this evil colonial project. Again, Palestinians had nothing to do with the Bondi shooting, and this rhetoric attempts to make them responsible for global Jewish wellbeing & punishable on that basis.

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

i would rather not make anything ever again than use generative ai for writing a first draft or generating ideas or whatever. i would rather die basically

Wonderful concept trailer for "Cosmo Princess" indie animated project by Quentin Rigaux. Full video >> www.catsuka.com/news/2025-06...

Epstein Files must be REALLY bad

Sharing some of my thoughts from the other site but man I'm really pissed off about this shit.

If your concept artists feel they have to use AI 'for exploration' its likely that your demands for the quantity/quality of the work vs time are too high? Like..thats what sketching is for. But some clients will not look at sketches, it always has to look like "concept art" [ polished paintings ]

Choose your fighter

Eliminating this part of the process of creating some kind of artistic piece/project is extremely shortsighted. So much discovery that makes the art great comes from this crucial step. Much like all the things we have in modern times, this will only make things more homogenized/throw away/boring ect

I'm so tired of the artist's profession being treated as something unimportant and easily replaceable. “We're just using genAI for concept art, trust me, it'll be live actors!” I mean, yeah, artists aren't really people, so we shouldn't pay them or respect what they do... sigh

Please stop playing Fortnite if you support the continued existence of Trans people. If you've been playing up until now, you have the power to show them that their willingness to support blatant Transphobia comes with serious consequence to the size of their playerbase.

KOSA has been defeated several times already and they keep trying over and over until the one time it goes through, at which point it becomes everyone's problem. It will be an unmitigated disaster if this passes and they say, well, sorry, now it's the law. Make sure your creature votes No on this.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

I think it's kind of beautiful that this was Rob Reiner's final line on television

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

I think we're the first media to mature as a capitalist industry before we matured as a creative art form - just behind cinema, but cinema had a few decades before Hollywood took hold and maintains some semblence of an artistic indie field. Sign of the times. Nobody can afford to be an artist.

The games industry brings in 300 billion dollars a year. The guy who made DOOM gets his projects canceled, the guy who made Katamari Damacy is broke, everyone in your feed is begging for a job and there are 50 new games coming out on Steam every day all going towards buying Gabe Newell's next yacht

Latest from me at The Guardian! Chatting with @videogameworkers.bsky.social at their protest outside The Game Awards. ✊

we need to stop acting like its normal to not want to talk to pre/early transitioners. you are not performing charity work. being in the world means you owe others your time and energy. if you dont like that then you can replace real human interaction with AI

ive seen 'i dont owe you shit' legitimately destroy friendships and communities because people are being encouraged to divest time and energy away from others and into themselves. its no surprise that this has gotten much worse since the trump and covid years! this is fascism!

What this underscores is a fundamental truth that while none of the rest of us need supremacists in our spaces, and are just fine without them, supremacists need the rest of us or they collapse against each other. Without them we're fine. Without us they've got nothing.

We staffed the entire FBI with guys who only make memes and podcasts, hope that doesn't affect our ability to respond to major crimes

This entire weekend

this is so horrible, I can't believe it variety.com/2025/film/ne...

my biggest problem with youtubers who levy any kind of critique on mormons is they couch it with platitudes that they dont mean "good mormons" when the religion is fundamentally based on white supremacy and black and indigenous genocide and maybe it Does make you a bad person for subscribing to that

anyways i love when people arent scared to call mormons what they really are (racist) youtu.be/Ltu2hJwqId8

Your reminder that Lichtenstein never gave a dime during his lifetime to the comics artists whose work he shamelessly stole. Nor does his Lichtenstein Foundation which continues to profit greatly from those plagiarized images. It's unforgivable. Lichtenstein was an immoral parasite.

Vtubing already shares so much DNA with pro wrestling (character gimmicks, kayfabe, alter egos, improv, evil IRL corporate overlords, etc) When will they fully COMMIT Vtuber heel factions. Scripted rivalries. Stunt choreography. Steel chairs.

Circling back to this, because I'm STILL riled up This (and every) dumbed down, sugarcoated adaptation was NEVER made "for kids". It was made to coddle and placate sensitive, reactionary, misperceptive adults who are too dumb and afraid to think critically or feel deeply about the world around them

More convinced in it than ever considering what that investment actually is is Bob Iger using Disney funds to prop up OpenAI which is a company he is personally invested in from other sources.

online gambling is essentially legal and open money fixing and laundering at this point

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

Which views the BBC considers unacceptably political in its presenters is particularly telling, isn't it?

I was teaching in austin during this race, and another teacher in my cohort was dear friends with Jessica Cisneros, the woman running against him. Pro abortion, pro-medicare for all, immigration attorney for RAICES. And the dems backed her conservative opponent.

I don't want to be a "I'm not surprised" guy but covid made it clear that a substantial part of the population wants the freedom to do whatever they want even if it kills them and/or others

The end of Section 230 would mean the end of all but the largest websites that allow user-generated content at all - and even the largest would be radically changed and locked down It would probably mean the end of your fav streamers' careers Call your senators and your representatives about this

well someone's getting fired

Not to be a bummer but if you need to know how much the right lusts for wolf death look to Idaho and Wisconsin for examples on how wolf hunts have been going. Shit's depressing, sad, and frankly deranged. If this goes through it will not end well for the species. They're too political.

Soma is going for an absolutely silly discount right now, 95% off. If you've not played it, it's perhaps Frictional's best. I never finished it, cos I got too scared

"people with renaissance-level art skills don't exist anymore" yes they do their username is something like 03748218_ and they spend all their time drawing pornography so deranged it'd kill hugh hefner a second time
