Quality assurance testers at Blizzard Albany and Austin offices have reached a groundbreaking contract at Microsoft, marking the third union contract across the company's gaming studios. Solidarity!

Seeing the deluge of AI generated art, poorly imitating Studio Ghibli, being vomited onto the internet after a new AI update. It reminds me of a famous clip of Miyazaki. In which, Miyazaki describes the use of AI to imitate human made art "an insult to life itself". www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngZ0...
