@shamsjorjani.bsky.social Hi Shams! I read about your view on AI on @videogameschronicle.com , and I felt I should offer a comment as to why I'm pretty anti-AI: Most CEOs aren't you, and most companies aren't Arrowhead. The chief locusts won't hesitate to ruin games and art, if it means Q4 savings.

If the composition of the char on a grilled hot dog were listed in the ingredients, it would be illegal to sell because of high levels of nitrosamines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons which are both banned as carcinogens in the EU and US. Weird!

"Bluesky is boring." Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually. When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

PSA FOR ARTISTS

A thought for those few who actually follow me here: If you've Sky Follower Bridge or have otherwise copied your Xitter follows on here, make sure to unfollow on the old pit. That way, you help make this site more valuable for the creators you love.

Cosigned. Your followers are ghosts. Your big number means nothing. Any art you're posting is being fed directly to Grok. It throttles outgoing links to the point of uselessness. You mere presence empowers one of the worst men alive. Like, seriously: why are you still there? Where is the line?

Today, we at Google have a new product: what if you could could ask an app a question? Oh, we do that already? Well, what if we were a little bit worse at it? What if we also sometimes gave you egregiously wrong information? And what if it cost a billion dollars? Still not interested? It's mandatory

DeepSeek this DeepSeek that why don't you DeepSeek some therapy

I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but please never stop being excited about the things you love. Your enthusiasm *will* annoy some people, and that’s great. It will help you weed out the people who don’t value the gift of your uncynical, unabashed happiness.

I was excited to tell my kids that there's a sequel to Encanto, only to scroll down and learn that Google's AI just completely made this up

Stop Forcing A.I. into Fucking EVERYTHING!

2024 currently has more known games industry layoffs than 2023+2022 combined. 2024 is roughly 600 layoffs away from doubling 2023. There is still plenty of business days left in the month. I can't emphasize enough how extreme these last few years have been. So far.
