The replacement of everything with generative AI is NOT inevitable, but it sure is if you all shrug and say "Well, it's inevitable" like your brain was washed in bad predictive SF for decades.

Wait, hold up —

Are you trying to tell me you DO NOT have to fire thousands of employees and destroy your definitive franchises and shutter studios every three months?

Le mythe de l'IA augmentant la productivité est tellement installé que les salariés qui ne l'utilisent pas ou peu sont vus comme étant délibérément moins productifs.
C'est d'une profonde stupidité, mais ça commence à se répandre partout.
Être dév et ne pas utiliser l'IA devient suspect.

this was a joke but most of the companies ive applied to with this portfolio turned me down and the rest ignored me so if anyone DOES want to employ me please let me know

Des restos qui mettent des images genIA de bouffe, des bouquins générés par IA, des pubs entières en genIA, des tiktok de paysages en genIA, des suggestions de décos en genIA, des voix en genIA pour répondre plus vite au plus grand nombre, des "conseils psy" en genIA..

Comment ne pas voir le souci?

Sooooooo this is just EA letting the studio know in advance they're all being laid off after launch and their workplace shuttered, but with extra steps.

Gotcha gotcha.

“Ask CoPilot” is now above “Copy” in the contextual menu when you right click highlighted text in Outlook. Yeah man much more likely that I’m doing some AI bullshit than copying text thanks

Eat the rich

Spoke with some other game writers yesterday about the cognitive dissonance we're experiencing. The horrors in the headlines, genocide, fascism, unrestrained capitalism & greed, then going to work on video games as if everything is fine. It's hard to focus, to find meaning. And we're the lucky ones.

Ça s'appelle un putain de camp de concentration et ça serait pas mal de ne pas passer à nouveau six mois à débattre pour savoir si un salut nazi est un salut nazi.

I swear to god so many trends make it so easy for anyone to collect personal information about you and people just willingly give it away

I swear there could be a trend “show us a photo of your front yard or house” and people will be willingly give that for free for the sake of clout 💀

hey remember when a rich ceo died then when they caught the suspect they made a circus of it like they found osama bin laden and charged him with terrorism but less than weeks ago two democrat lawmakers and their spouses were shot as literal assassination to shift control and everyone already forgot

Who's gonna tell him?

what you want to do is put an impossible amount of pressure on yourself to “succeed” and tell yourself constantly that you are wasting your “potential.” do this until you die

Woah ptn le tir de barrage de FACTS je suis impressionnée

i am simply asking the press to cover the government sending masked thugs to rip people from their crying children and shipping them to a foreign concentration camp with the same ferocity they cover a trans kid playing jv tennis in sheboygan
