the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence lies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't. By magicmosshka, yesterday's

I've been running an indie games studio for 15 years now, and it felt like a good time to boil down what I've learned into 4 pieces of advice:

www.pentadact.com/2026-01-08-1...

I hope it's of use, not least because goddamn I forgot how long blog posts take to write.
A timeline visually representing the advice from my post, emphasising how dramatically and reliably having more time, with a testable build, converts to your game being better and your studio being safer.

The best season for sleeping. 🌨️
A pale yellow dog is asleep on a yellow couch with only their head resting on the arm next to a quilt. There's a lamp on a wood side table to the left casting warm light. Behind is a window showing snow on trees and a grey sky. The room is a warm brown.

American journalist and author, Chris Hedges, delivered a speech in 2013 on progress and collapse that still resonates today, with one part focusing on why resistance to fascism is a moral duty in itself.

"I do not fight fascists because I will win. I fight fascists because they are fascists."
