With GDC 2026 proving once again the significant disparity between the hype and reality of generative AI, it's time we regained control of the narrative. A big thank you to the folks at @gibiz.bsky.social for inviting me to write this op/ed for their AI week.

"I meant for this to happen", says Florida man as he repeatedly steps on rakes "I saw this coming", he continues, as he makes a beeline directly for the next rake "This was always the plan", he finishes as he places another rake directly in his own path

Prediction for Destiny since The last 24hrs being barely able to peak past 10k on PC: 1.) "Shadow and Order" (title not final) will get canceled/released as it's current state and Destiny 2 will go into life-support mode like Destiny 1 is currently, with "Shadow and Order" being it's last DLC.

Dumbest Fucking Person On This Planet makes decisions befitting of Dumbest Fucking Person On This Planet

NYT only ability is to publish hit pieces on Mamdani, they're physically incapable of processing the idea that a person of color is trying to change the status quo other political agendas have become complacent to.

Also...anyone needing to ask what any specific transport lane for goods is has the economical clarity of a sponge in an oil spill. It's a shipping lane. For shipping. On ships. It's not that hard. 😂

A video game lawyer helps us understand what makes Outersloth's indie dev funding arm, and the contracts it shared at GDC last week, so revolutionary for the industry. New from @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social

Thanks to Donald Trump, I am now putting more effort into planning if I can afford to get to work in the coming months than he put into unleashing the entire might of the US military on another country.

👏

He’s flailing. He’s leading the country—and the world—toward catastrophe. When incompetence mixes with arrogance, the result is dangerous for everyone.

so we rescued a set of cinema film scanners does anyone need a set of cinema film scanners? if you have a need for a cinema film scanner (or can give it a good home!), and can arrange to have it transported from the Seattle area, message me on fedi or e-mail me at [email protected]

How can any Democrat justify voting for Trump’s new DHS nominee when they continue to break the law using taxpayer dollars and resources for partisan politics?

Quick reminder: there’s millions of Epstein files that remain hidden

Admitting publicly that you only want this bill that is designed to disenfranchise voters is necessary to make sure your party wins is quite a choice. The GOP has done away with subtlety and euphemisms and is now all "we need to cheat because the polls say people don't like us."

I hate to do this, but I think I'm not going to be able to stream today after all. I've been dealing with some very stressful real life things and ended up sleeping less than three hours last night. I'll try to figure out something more sustainable.

My 6 favorite Spartan helmet designs! - These left a lasting impression on me, and I wore them constantly. I wanted to include at least one per game, but I just didn’t have any attachment to Halo 5 helmets. Never had Morrigan but that iconic concept art finally realized? Come on… #halo #spartan

The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems. Forever. It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.

hey there i'm opening one slot for quick b/w sketch commission please send me an email to [email protected] or a DM if you're interested, thank you!!!

Can’t believe nobody wanted to read the articles nobody bothered to write

Never fund DHS again. Abolish it completely. If someone wants to moan about "but but we have to ____" yeah fine we can discuss a new department, but *this* department has to go.

Donald Trump letting you know how the authoritarian capture of the media is going, in case you missed it. Unlike other authoritarians in places like Hungary and Poland he has no worries about advertising his authoritarian take over of the media.

cleaned up some old art 🥺 i love them... #housekinokuni #宝石の国

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

Inititives like this are a huge part of how developers in Canada, Germany, and other countries with such grants were able to wind up such flourishing indie scenes tbh

"Game that was secretly harvesting all your discord messages now looking for some good PR" is probably a better headline

Literally straight out of the authoritarian playbook.

Minnesota Frost fan on the zamboni has a sign reading No ICE, no war, no kings, which was immediately taken off the big screen once it was shown on camera. Fans continue to let out cheers, but just began booing as a team official removed it on the ice.

Brendan Carr is threatening the media to cover the war the way the Trump regime wants. It’s one of the most anti-American messages ever posted by a government official. 1/

It’s crazy that he is negotiating on behalf of the U.S. at all. He has no government appointment and no one elected him and he has no business being in those meetings even without the grift

FCC to journalists: cover the Iran war the way the president prefers or lose your broadcast license.

If only a college professor could condescendingly yell at her that AI is useful, I bet she’d feel so much better about all this

Oh no, these videos might ruin the reputation of the guys who stole our social security numbers

how ironic to see the state protect two people who sought to strip the state while working under the direction of elon musk, who has made it impossible to seek recourse when people get death threats and harassment on twitter

They blew up USAid and doomed millions to an agonizing death but a video of them being an idiot on camera is causing reputational damage

Businesses like Target thought they were indispensable and minorities like Black and LGBTQ+ people were dispensable. Those companies are discovering that it's actually the other way around
