AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action

Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

Some of you will now argue it was always good, I just know it.

post-uni has left me in this weird limbo of feeling like I can't do anything. and instantly getting overwhelmed when I try.
I want to keep making art but I honestly suck at it and uni has sort of left me with a kinda mixed education. it's just hard to work out next steps.

"digital asbestos" is fantastic framing.

Casey Explosion @caseyexplosion.bsky.social · Jun 24

I'm going to be honest here, I think AI is going to do so much damage to the usable internet that even after it's inevitably crashes out, it's going to take years to disentangle from every space it's polluted, like digital asbestos it's gonna be time consuming effort and likely expensive venture.

I think AI is going to eventually tank in the longterm, but...

the only real way to combat this is single-interest communities. Forums, user comms, etc, with a barrier to entry. They become trustable knowledgebases. It's really the only way forward is to return to what worked best the first time

Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star are funny in that they are almost the exact same subgenre (space western in which the main characters are bounty hunters that fail to ever make any money whatsoever) yet they are in other ways completely the opposite genres from each other (noir vs adventure)

This outdated ad is especially weird as it’s for Klonoa… A game that could have sold to both girls and boys if they’d bothered to try.

Me: man, my sister is so weird, I don't think there's anything in this world weirder than her.

Random 90s Klonoa magazine ad:

A magazine ad for the game Klonoa: Door to Phantomile, featuring the titular character, some screenshots and a huge purple bubble, where's written 'Quite possibly the only thing weirder than your sister."

If you have ever felt that 200cc in Mario Kart 8/Deluxe is much faster than it should be, your suspicions are correct. Based on the formula followed by the other engine classes, the speed the game pretends is 200cc is actually 415cc instead.

In Mario Kart 8/Deluxe, 200cc feels much
faster compared to 150cc than 150cc does
compared to 100cc. This is because it actually
is about 38% faster than it should be based
on the ratio between top speed and class
as established by 50cc, 100cc and 150cc.
If the formula established by the other
engine classes is followed to calculate
the engine class that 200cc should be
based on its top speed, then the result
indicates that the true engine class the
game claims is 200cc is actually 415cc.

Liliana from my game team's third year game called Help My Cat Is An Eldritch God! Has a lot of problems due to rushing to get this done for the deadline but it didn't turn out too bad!

people need real high productivity jobs like bitching about wokeness on twitter and sucking at video games

Ahhhhh @nerdjpg.com · Apr 13

This is not how the economy works. Obviously. Higher sector jobs like research and development add more to your economy. Raw materials extraction and manufacturing jobs do not give you the biggest economy in the world. Look around.

We need to shift people from low to negative productivity jobs in government to high productivity jobs in manufacturing (as well as mining and refining of materials)

This joke is agelessly impossibly old, but is the glue that holds every dev team together. It communicates the gallows humour and nihilism that has powered the development of every game you ever loved.

the best joke in videogames development is replying "ship it" to every broken ass prototype no I will not be taking questions
