Watching the post stranger things conversations happen and one thing I don’t like about the modern media landscape is how many show-runners and authors feel like they have to explain what happens after the end of the story or at the end of the story.
Bring back the David Lynch approach.

Are you a gamedev who's not using any GenAI in your pipeline? I'm currently compiling a list of such statements, either in the press, social media, or directly through your credit roll. Feel free to add more examples below.

When you go to protests you’re going to encounter some corny and cringe people you’re not fully aligned with in various ways and I think that’s OK and not something to get Yosemite Sam mad about.
seeing some centrists complaining about "internet leftists" and inferring that "winemoms" outnumbered them at the rallies today, can you stop making this all about you man? The people, united, etc

J'ai enfin lu ce très bel essai dédié aux monstres qui peuplent nos machines (bugs, trolls, daemons, avatars, bots, etc) et comment ils accompagnent notre relation au numérique. Il s'agit du dernier ouvrage de Nicolas Nova, parti brutalement l'année dernière. Ses réflexions me manquent beaucoup.

I guess I can finally talk about my current editing project (and the game I've been obsessively playing over the holidays)—AP Thomson's surreal strategy game Titanium Court, which just got a few well deserved IGF noms! Been having a hard time stopping playing long enough to work on it. So good.

This is simply not technically possible. You cannot generate enough writing in-house to train an LLM. You cannot generate enough art in-house to train a GAN. People who think they have a model "trained on our own material" are using a base model of mass-scraped data, unknowingly or disingenuously.
Larian CEO says Divinity could have gen AI assets in it but only if the tools are trained on the studio's own data.
"If we use a GenAI model to create in-game assets, then it'll be trained on data we own."
