At this point, if you are not disclosing that you used AI, you know that your audience doesn't want it

JAMIE BROADNAX IS A FUCKING CON ARTIST THIEF Jesus Christ, she's as bad as that fucking Scammy McGee whose actual name I have blocked from my brain and can only remember the nicknames I'm way too white to be able to use.

i got this email. no idea where she got my email cause i never signed up for anything with her. INSTANT unsubscribe. she thinks we all forgot?

So it's not enough that Jamie Broadnax is still flourishing and running Black Girl Nerds as if the flaming catastrofuck that was Universal FanCon never even happened, but now she's letting everyone know that she's moving her newsletter to the other Nazi bar that is Substack?

Public debates do not work psychologically the way people think they do.

@p4riah.bsky.social The cold and water are flooding the place 💔, everything around me is soaked and freezing, I have no warm clothes or dry place to sleep. The weather is getting worse, and my children's health is deteriorating 🙏 Help us quickly before we die from the cold and hunger."

al jazeera media network say initiative will shift roll of gun 'from shooting whole organization in dick to shooting whole organization in brain'

"we only use AI for coming up with ideas" no you don't. you use AI to come up with the a bland version of other people's ideas. there is currently NOBODY more replaceable than you

genAI is STOLEN WORK. Using genAI in *any* capacity is trafficking in stolen work, supporting the plunder. Period. These facts aren't even denied by the AI companies, they just find ways to make that plunder seem benevolent. Using their product enables that lie. Stop enabling the theft of our work.

THEY DON'T SOLVE CRIMES THEY DON'T PREVENT CRIMES THEY SIMPLY GIVE TICKETS, STEAL FROM OTHER DRUG DEALERS AND GANG MEMBERS, AND TERRORIZE PEOPLE'S NEIGHBORHOODS. AND THIS IS COMING FROM THE DAUGHTER OF A RETIRED DETROIT POLICE SERGEANT SO YOU CAN ASK ME HOW I KNOW.

meanwhile, a local police officer disregarded a stop sign and almost ran into my car head first because he's trying to pursue a traffic scaflow in a neighborhood!

I just think it's funny how the majority of folks have never asked the question of if we've had crime as long as we've had police, what do they think more police will do?

Let's not forget that an unarmed man disarmed the gunman in Australia. Here cops are better funded than some militaries and they do nothing to keep people safe. Then hold press conferences to compliment each other on a job well done. DEFUND THE POLICE

Oddly enough, if anyone had bothered to listen to literally anyone other than police union reps for the past oh, idk, 100 years, then maybe no one would be absolutely GOBSMACKED over the news that police are cowards. All them unarmed Black folks being MURDERED wasn't a clue...?

what the fuck

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

i think all the time about this cartoon, drawn by Tom Floyd from a collection about his experience being one of the first black men to integrate a white-collar workplace in the 60s

There's really interesting social science on how white people significantly overestimate the number of people of color in a room or in a picture. A room with, like, 20% POC will be perceived as majority POC.

yeah the HP crossover in fortnite is garbage but if you hadn't already stopped playing for the myriad of other reasons including the AI-gen chatbot voice of the deceased actor for Darth Vader that spewed slurs then I already have no respect for you, you should have stopped a long time ago.

most ppl dont know the stories are what keeps ace combat fans coming back for more. earnest & cheesy, but with genuinely fascinating themes if you look closely AC is the only 'military jets are cool' game ive ever been interested in, bc the games are also fundamentally anti-war in INTERESTING ways

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

If you’re a parent and you’re not ready for your child to be trans, you’re not ready to be a parent. If you’re a person who isn’t comfortable participating in a society that includes trans people, you’re not ready to be in society. Trans people have never been the problem

this is how you handle bigots

None of these revelations matter until these ghouls are hanging upside down at a gas station

STOP USING THAT SHIT.

'if you categorically refuse anything that had AI along the way you're not gonna play any video game in the future' sure I'll spend that money at more concerts and play through the eternal backlog we all have I don't get new video game release FOMO at all sorry man

Also lmao... the vendor Bluesky "partnered" with for age verification has that classic TOS where they can change their privacy policy, at any time, for any reason, without having to notify you, and do whatever they want with your data. Sure, why not, kids? www.kidswebservices.com/en-US/privac...

i understand that these corporations are beloved by many, but as soon as you start defending their use of AI, even if it's "a little bit", i need you to understand that you are being used as a corporate tool to normalize AI. reject it with all your might. corporations arent your friend.

"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

Money

Don’t use AI for Placeholder assets (or at all). The point is to make them obvious they need replacing Textures should be hot pink Text should be BOLD ALL CAPS Animations should be the Macarena When they say “we only used AI for placeholder” what they really mean is they hoped you wouldn’t notice

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

well unprepare it

fuck. this. fuck. them. fuuuuuuuuck

I cannot emphasize enough that this is the fastest way to kill these AI projects; don't hate use them, don't engage with them to try and 'break' them, just ignore them. Product that doesn't move units gets discontinued, if you buy it to destroy it, you still buy it, which is all they care about!

we can kill them all if we just work together and ✨believe💫

Public anger over Israel’s actions briefly broke through the usual indifference and created a rare opening of political opportunity, and the U.S. political establishment is trying to capture that energy by promoting liberal Zionism as the acceptable pro-Palestine position. It is not.

You've been living on this planet long enough to know that a very significant % of the human race does not empathize with others and is capable of hatred, violence, and everything else that's so disappointing and frustrating about the human condition. Move accordingly!

I'm so tired of people saying things like "I just don't understand how someone could be so horrible" because, like, you don't need to understand *how* to understand that horrible people are out there, and they're not doing it by accident or because they don't know better. They know! They suck!

Calling people who knowingly and willingly do terrible things "mentally ill" both excuses their awful behavior AND unfairly demonizes people who do struggle with legitimate mental illness. Being an asshole is not a mental illness. Not caring about hurting others is not a mental illness.

That muthafukka BEEN this way. This the same asshole that took out an ad for the execution of the Central Park 5.

Let's be totally clear here: not only does Substack let Nazis host their shit; they actively encourage them, sometimes paying them six figure salaries to host their shit. Substack actively courts Nazis to their platform. Ghost and beehiiv will actively help you move off that platform.

The right wing played you. They put forward the hate and y’all ran with it and now want to play victim. That why they can unleash ICE. Remember when kids in cages were abhorrent? In Biden’s term that disappeared bc he was on your side. Biden has a lot to do with this. Lemmings always fall off cliffs

Now you wonder how America got so authoritarian. See above posts. You wonder why there’s so much violence. These culture wars were always bullshit and it was relatively easy to see if you wanted to see. That is how “liberal” Americans are responsible for where America is
