“AI workers said they distrust the models they work on because of a consistent emphasis on rapid turnaround time at the expense of quality.”
Meet the AI workers who tell their friends and family to stay away from AI
When the people making AI seem trustworthy are the ones who trust it the least, it shows that incentives for speed are overtaking safety, experts say

The Indie Dev Digest for December will be coming up for end of this month - I fully expect it to be a quiet one, but if you have submissions for December or January that I can flag in advance (as I'll likely try to take a break over the holidays!) please get your submissions in!

Ahhh a bubble akin to the 2008 GFC....I remember it well. A story in a few parts...
There I was, sitting on a beach in The Maldives with my newly wedded partner on the honeymoon of our dreams when I get an sms.
It's from my Manager and it says - I need you to come to the office on Thursday.

The AI bubble may be about to bust.
Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.
We all need to say this very clearly:
NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!
Expropriate their asses instead.
They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.
They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

Doing some research for my next novel, and google AI just recommended a Master thesis for me to read....
Umm, google, I wrote that thesis. And it certainly does not match the search words I just used.
(No, I don't rely on AI summaries for research)

we don't just need to be funding small studios to make one game, we need to be funding them to make the ones they can fuck up before they can make the ones they learn from.
The winner takes all-instant hit-meme-flywheel mentality that has completely overtaken the games industry and even #indiedev is poison.
It deteriorates the space for risk and sustainable growth, until all that's left is to to either make slot-machines or slop-machines.
