Great report from @jacksonwryan.com about this mess. To show you all how frustrating this has been -- ClickOut Media's GamesHub still lists me as an active "Games & Tech Editor", and I'm placed alongside their fake AI 'writers'. I've asked them to stop, but these sites are desperate for credibility.

Grip Studios has announced that it's delaying the console versions of survival game Icarus to March in order to allow for additional polish.

Hey yall. As you've seen here - unfortunately a large portion of the ivy road team was laid off today, myself included. We're all looking for work! Gonna do a quick thread about those who were laid off today and why you should hire them:

Overall: 28% laid off in the last 2 years US: 33% Design/narrative: 20% in the last 12mo (most impacted discipline) 48% said they haven't found a new job, and the survey admits these numbers are likely an undercount. Fun fact: the survey would boot you out if you'd been out of work >2 years.

A depressing look at the labyrinth of AI slop courses being shoved at people under the guise of education. You don't learn any actual, useful skills from them

Marimar Martinez was the first US citizen shot by ICE. They claimed she was a terrorist. Said she was brandishing a weapon. They lied. Video footage exonerated her and showed the ICE agent shot her five times. He bragged to other agents “five shots, 7 holes”. A 🧵 of ICE abuse

The White House knows Trump's cognitive state is an issue So they are using deep fake AI Trump to make propaganda videos in which he sounds/looks more coherent, youthful & vibrant This taxpayer funded deep fake aired during CNN this morning But Biden, right?

All net proceeds of all these shirts, hoodies and onesies will go to aid organizations in Minnesota working to protect their neighbors from terror. Fuck ICE, stand with Minneapolis.
