Like you bite into a soft fluffy pastry then your mouth is assaulted by crunchy wet hard bits that stick between your teeth and scratch at the roof of your mouth just punch me in the face it’s easier

I want genAI to die. I want this AI trend to die. I want features like photo filters to go back to being called what they are and not AI. I want real art to feel valuable and real artists to be valued. I want photography and filmmaking and art and design and I want voice acting and editing. Not bots

Wish I had watched the godfather during my cinephile phase because all the references just fly over my head now and I can’t find it in me to sit down for nine hours

I cannot come up with appropriate words for how offensive it is not just to deadfake in different actors but specifically Brad Pitt over Daniel Kaluuya in GET OUT, a movie that could not possibly be MORE POINTED about how white people assault Black people while appropriating their culture.

I don’t know if there’s a more perfect illustration of the utter fucking nonsense that creative pollution by AI will produce than this choice to illustrate the power of Paramount’s new “localization” and “customization” technology by face-swapping Brad Pitt into the lead role of GET OUT

Also ✨LLMs are literally dumber than rocks and a seven year old has better imagination yet everyone is treating them like a miracle and it’s…concerning.✨

I do not think it is morally incorrect to punch a techbro in the mouth the second they intake air to speak

speaking from experience when I say ✨there is absolutely nothing gratifying about having a slop machine spit out a tailored story or art that you didn’t earn by making yourself✨

Seeing DAV listed under the “Critically Acclaimed” section of the PS Store is both righteously validating and righteously infuriating in damn near equal measure

Wish tech bros would stop poisoning everything with their slop machines man. I don’t need a new game every year or new music by the minute or a painting at the click of my fingers I just want nice things made by humans like we have been doing for literally millennia

Not to be a doomer, but people are generally more lenient to AI than we think. It’s unlikely that even when they start churning out the slop that fanboys will stop buying their products.
I hope bioware is free of them before they butcher mass effect.

Who cares what some strangers online say about your favorite games? It literally doesn’t change anything.

Keep loving the games you love it. It’s as simple as that. 🤝🏻

Constructive criticism/debates are fine and are even encouraged. Outright hatred is a whole different story.

i feel like this discourse is 500% worse with video games. gamers -- but specifically, those who primarily play AAA titles -- are the most entitled consumers in the universe.

William B. Fuckley @opinionhaver.bsky.social · 22h

The responses this post is getting, combined with the animating grievances of large swathes of politics, has convinced me we need a kind of society wide PSA about how Buying Things Is Optional.

You don’t think video games should cost $100? Don’t buy the videogame. Buying Things Is Optional.

BeijingPalmer @beijingpalmer.bsky.social · 1d

AAA video games should cost $100 on launch. this would still be extremely cheap for the amount of time and enjoyment you get out of them! But an audience of whiny babies has kept them literally at the same price for *two decades* despite both general inflation *and* sector-specific costs rising

shipping culture nowadays is so weird bc why should i care whether they're canonically straight or have/had a partner? why do you need legal permission from the author to have fun??? 2010s were so peak we used to ship characters that have never even met shamelessly. now i need government permission
