PEGASUS-hankkeessamme olemme havainneet, että Suomessa tehdään uraauurtavaa, kansainvälisesti merkittävää työtä pelikulttuurin yhdenvertaisuuden eteen. Kansallinen #pelikulttuuristrategia mahdollistaisi tämän työn järjestelmällisen kehittämisen. Lue lisää: gameresearchlab.tuni.fi/suomi-voi-ol...

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

i miss when this guy was the only LLM

I’ve had the honour of writing a chapter on gender equality in esports organisations to the wonderful Sport, media and discrimination collection. Can recommend this to everyone interested in diversity and discrimination in sports media and media sports, esports included!

"international law must be followed" is european for "thoughts and prayers"

I weep for the state of the EU that this spineless justifying of INCREDIBLY illegal acts by the United States is the response we give

Being thankful for the small things at the start of the new year, which in this case is getting actual snow and beautiful winter weather. Happy New Year to everyone. ❄️

May 2026 be better, safer, and fairer. May all that was good in 2025 be better in 2026. May all that was bad in 2025 be things we put our efforts towards improving.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

I've seen lots of acceleration due to the use of AI: acceleration of inequality, acceleration of climate catastrophe, acceleration of slop, acceleration of trust collapse, acceleration of scams, acceleration of model collapsed acceleration of misinformation, acceleration of drought

For people who trusted copyright laws to rein in AI, this should be the last scene in Animal Farm. “They looked from IP to Tech, and from Tech to IP, but already it was impossible to say which was which.”

SKULL OF THOMAS AQUINAS: TAKE A LEFT NOW PRIEST: No, the GPS says we have to keep going— SKULL: I KNOW A SHORTCUT PRIEST: Do you remember the last ti— SKULL: FOR THOSE WITH FAITH, NO EVIDENCE IS NECESSARY; FOR THOSE WITHOUT IT, NO EVIDENCE WILL SUFFICE

So annoying that companies that promote GenAI and LLMs called it AI and didn’t differentiate it from the advanced machine learning algorithms and tools that enable so many great things that are also AI but actually solving a problem, and good.

You get: a thrilling fantasy BL adventure 💖 I get: 4,49$ 🤝 My novel, Dear (future) Husband is on sale until the end of the year at www.smashwords.com/books/view/1... @smashwords.bsky.social 🌟

My professional opinion as a scholar who has worked on young people's digital culture for 10+ years: This is brutal. Doesn't mean there won't be good consequences for many kids as well (I'm sure there will be), but this will also do loads of damage.

Love it 🙌

Perustuslakivaliokunta sallii oikeistopuolueiden päätöksellä toimeentulotuen jättileikkauksen ja kyse on vakavista ihmisoikeusloukkauksista. Sellainen yhteiskunta, jossa heikoimpia potkitaan päähän, ei ole sivistynyt tai kukoistava millään mittapuulla. www.mtvuutiset.fi/artikkeli/pe...

"Oikotietä selaillessani mietin usein Tuomiston keräämiä lukuja. Ne selittävät elettyä kokemusta. Ei ole varaa siihen, mihin vanhemmilla ikäpolvilla on. Olen kateellinen. Tuntuu epäreilulta." Työelämä on epävarmaa, ympäristö tuhoutuu, varallisuus kertyy epätasaisesti. Epäreilulta tosiaan tuntuu.

Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important. We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

trying to switch off the AI bloatware that has been pinned to the top of every single menu in every single app

this is mesmerizing

The very first Finnish Game Industry DEI Summit is held on Dec 9th 2025, and I'll be on stage with three amazing professionals: Laura Smith, Essi Jukkala and Licia Prehn. Signups close tomorrow, so you still have a day to join us, either online or in downtown Helsinki! weingames.fi/dei-summit/

Reason for delay: cat's feeding time

Apple's brand marketing history, Our Users Are -Revolutionary visionaries (80s) -Like Picasso, Einstein "think different" (late 90s) -Cool creatives (iMac/iPod) -Successful, high status (iPhone to iWatch) -Unprepared bad workers, office loser, can't read/write one line emails (Apple Intelligence/AI)

do you believe in ghosts or are you like me, a person who finds themself saying all the time “I absolutely don’t believe in ghosts, but this place has ghosts.”

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Absurdi juttu, etenkin kun juuri on puhuttu siitä, miten iso riski riippuvuus yhdysvaltalaisesta tietoliikenneinfrasta on.

Turvallisuuspuhe ei ole uskottavaa, kun samaan aikaan demokratian perustuksista ja sitä kautta kansallisesta turvallisuudesta ollaan tällä tavalla valmiita tinkimään kustannussyistä.

It's here! 👀 The PEGASUS research project is ending soon, so we made a small publication outlining our research and developed tools. Illustrations are by the amazing Tuuli Hypén. This will be available tomorrow at the Game Culture Strategy day, and online as a PDF a little bit later.

Osana #peliviikko ohjelmaa Tampereen pääkirjasto Metso järjestää huomenna 5.11. klo 18 Metso FAKTA -keskustelun "Hyvä, paha pelikulttuuri?" Keskustelemassa ovat minä, Juho Kuorikoski ja Risto Marjomaa. Tervetuloa Metsoon tai kuulolle striimiin! tapahtumat.tampere.fi/fi-FI/page/6...

Never forget the core thing funding the sheer scale of the spending spree of AI investments is primarily due to the turborich wanting to solve the “problem” of having to pay wages.

I'm in.

Lantrek is really covering all the bases this year. Counter Strike 2 tournament on big screen right next to cosplay karaoke. 🍿

Now's the time to call up Visa/MC to ask 'hey, how come you guys will pay for ChatGPT and Twitter subs but I can't buy certain games off of Steam?' Because I frankly would LOVE an answer to that...

The third We in Games Experience survey is here: forms.office.com/e/cDhKgxhvrb If you currently work, have previously worked, study, are seeking employment in the Finnish game industry or are closely connected to the field, consider participating this survey!

Shout-out to one of my coworkers who thought "labubu" was slang for lobotomy

Sarjispajassa kysyttiin voiko tekoälyltä kysyä neuvoa, jos ei heti keksi ideaa. Sanoin, että meitä ehdollistetaan kärsimättömyyteen. Eihän ideoita kuulukaan keksiä heti! "Idealihakset" kehittyvät ja ideat kypsyvät ajan kanssa. Ideointia voi treenata harjoitteilla. Mitä sitten tehtiinkin.

It never ceases to amaze me how after years of digital media, we're still talking about "screen time", conflating a huge range of phenomena into a single, clumsy variable. In my view, the rough equivalent is discussing food and nutrition only using calories - or "eating time".

it’s always a lovely day when people realize weirdos are the backbone of any fandom and trying to make everyone “normal” kills everything enjoyable about it. fandom wouldn’t exist if people could be normal about things.
