did ronald reagan effectively utilize decency by funneling money to illegal paramilitary death squads in nicaragua
The presidency once served as a reminder of our common humanity. Ronald Reagan described its purpose as building "a nation composed of good and decent people."

Studio heads believe "GenAi is so fucking magical and will take us back to the old days of smaller teams and shorter production times" when the obvious answer is either make a smaller game or Universal Basic Income 😀
But when the bubble pops, the artists will be the first to suffer, not him.

If you're surprised that a Labour careerist would use "lefties" as a perjorative, you haven't met a Labour careerist
Yet another crap video from another Labour MP (Josh Simons) attacking me and "lefties."
Showing us exactly who they are.
They serve only power & weath.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

In the end, the only solution is tossing a lil guy into a volcano
Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.
GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

Every time someone says they “only” use AI for references or composition it always ends up that the product is based off that. So I dunno who folks think they are fooling, like that suddenly makes it ok to use the automated theft machine cuz you added one more step.

Similar to how voice AI use has been suggested; for 'scratch'
or reference.
I know many actors, myself among them, who got jobs from the scratch work.
Every example of AI being used I've seen is cutting away a job that someone coming up would take or get on their journey.
Maybe that's the point.

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.
This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

The idea of a social media "echo chamber" is only pertinent if you are dim enough to try to get all your news, views, and perspectives on the world through social media
"Bluesky is an echo chamber."
"Bluesky doesn't have enough reach"
"Liberals must return to X to challenge the far right"
I'm not a tech bro or a journalist. Your priorities are not my priorities. Stop telling me I need to do anything other than chat about comics & telly with people who seem nice.

“Male Socialization” of trans femmes isn’t a real thing. Invoking it just shows you’re a bozo trying to misgender us.
Trans people were never really socialized as our AGAB. At best, we were pressured to mimic norms that gave us dysphoria.
It’s an obvious TERF / Blanchardist dog whistle. Do better.

This also goes for “female socialization” with trans mascs. Trans kids being pressured to conform to an assigned gender will attempt to mimic their cis peers to survive.
That’s an injustice & traumatic, not an indicator of not fully being our real genders.
