The instigators of all this, absolutely. But I wonder about the low level users of AI who think they can build a living on these tools 🫠

this, and I'm just despairing at how many people do not seem to be even remotely aware of those intentions/circumstances, or at least cautious about it 😫

Are people aware of this? Do they not care? Do they buy their own hype? Mix of all of the above probably but holy shit do K find it infuriating and depressing. I‘ll be over here building on actual skill and community and experience, thanks ✌️

What also still gets me is that all these AI companies are insanely unprofitable because „disruption phase“ and anyone building a business or career on them rn is building on a foundation that can be swept away any moment as soon as these companies are forced to properly monetize

„AI is definitely here to stay“ says tech CEO who profits immensely from convincing people and investors that AI is inevitable. But somehow also „AI would die immediately if we were forced to be ethical about it through regulation, so nobody should even try“ god I hate it here

I've been doing too much revenge bedtime procrastination recently. that's a sign that I'm doing too many things and not doing enough nothing.

I will now actually go to bed instead of spending another half hour daudling at my PC after quitting Hollow Knight

Hoof color adjusting with leg markings is actually an important realism USP btw 😌

(Well, not completely unique… Legend of Khiimori does it too! Oh nooo I‘m working on too many competent horse games help)

the fun thing about publishing our own horse game is that I get to make teaser posts using leg markings as loading bars and nobody can stop me

Realizing while typing that this is becoming a weird "friends, I have touched too much grass recently" train of thought. I guess what I'm saying is everything's a balance and even though I try to take my own needs for both rest and community very seriously, it's hard to get it right sometimes.

and like, that's good, I think playing a video game I'm enjoying is a perfect use of my free time, don't get me wrong, but I love it when I'm just bored enough on weekends that I start getting creative. And when I spend too much time outdoors I end up missing that.
