hey remember when I got shit on for years for trying to warn people that GamerGate was just Nazis and not just about harassing women and not just about some “consumer revolt”

There is an actual argument that this curse actually worked.

Helen of Troy looking like Lupita Nyong'o is incredibly unlikely, would require a black swan event

good reasons not to use ChatGPT and other AIs: 1. it is a tool of fascism 2. once you are in its ecosystem, and rely on it, it can be used to manipulate you 3. if a service is free, *you* are the product I know it's convenient, but resistance requires us to be uncomfortable for the greater good

Now you too can play a slowed down version of a game from 20 years ago with no actual level design or enemies and all it costs is a complete collapse of the world economy, biosphere, education system, and multiple entire creative industries.

I needed about 100g of Gorgonzola for a dish. But they only sold the cheese in 250g allotments. Guess I’ll just have to eat the rest of this cheese. Woe is me.

The British Museum posted Al slop and quietly deleted it. Here's what it was and why it matters. #archaeology🏺#musuem #culture #heritage #history

"AMD Ryzen Zero Dawn" is this anything

I regret to inform everyone that the smartest money people out there are, overwhelmingly, dumb as a rock www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/...

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs) Good tech. Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales) Bad tech.

The YouTube algorithm has decided I want to see “calculator YouTubers” discussing the breaking news of Amazon.fr leaking the announcement of a brand new TI-84 Evo calculator, and yes, yes I do want to see this

Oh no someone taught the bot about Tony Abbott

I love this, imagine petitioning god to slay your monsters and they’re like “uh sure yeah gimme five just need to send this email” www.pcgamer.com/games/mmo/af...

look, if there’s one thing I know about gamers, it’s that they’re happy with worlds that run at 24 fps

hey what's up welcome to modern games journalism, where we make sure to feed all our marginalised writers into the Machine That Lays You Off so that we can lick the boots of tech companies forever! as long as WE'RE not losing our jobs, who cares about integrity

I would play this game, one team is rats and the other is Dogzilla

There is a dude on the bus and he’s got an enormous bag of apricots but the top few aren’t fully ensconced and keep falling out when the bus lurches. So every 30 seconds or so the dude is scrambling around picking up apricots.

we should have a website where we rate game studio leads by how badly their toilet thoughts affect the reputation of their games

this is supposedly the same guy who (this is an unconfirmed rumor so grain of salt here) will send maddeningly vague and useless feedback down the chain to people applying for writing roles saying their extensive writing tests are "not Larian enough"

The median voter lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that?

Idk if I was in leadeeship at a studio that released a wildly successful and critically acclaimed RPG that made me insanely rich the last thing I'd do is whine or post on social media ever again but maybe I'm just built different.

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests - nazgul bodycams - morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring - shelob will be the new point of contact

Derf

I have a theory why people who use genAI argue a lot against it being used to fire it. I think this is how they ameliorate their guilt. Maybe those people were gonna be fired anyways and AI is just the excuse, dunno but it is the excuse they’re using.

the fallacy that negative cynicism is an innately more "intellectual" critical stance blinds us from the fact that this, too, is shilling

This is some premium psychic damage right here, absolute top-tier.

I think we should just shut down the entire concept of generating images using AI. Outlaw it, or as close as you can come to doing so. I know it's not possible to eliminate it completely, but we definitely can stop companies from scaling it up to "industrial-scale abuse".

I feel confident me and my PhDian friends had poisoned one politician against AI, we’re working on the rest as fast as we can.

"B-But if we don't use AI, how will we storyboard cutscenes--" MOTHERFUCKER MY WIFE LET ME USE HER CROCHET PLUSHIES, WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE

I refuse to learn what’s happening with Air Force One, I shall continue to look at the contextless memes.

"I asked chatgpt" Well I asked the gay little magic players in my discord

there are too many posts on here about "world events" and "AI" and not nearly enough about "Mitsibushi Delica"

Awful day yesterday. So first, all these assholes get on the wrong bus
