We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

The UK should try submitting a Eurovision entry in Welsh to sidestep the usual anti English sentiment amongst continental voters. Worth a try surely?

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Look, you can have low taxation or you can have functioning public services. You can't have both. Lots of people, including the UK government, seem to have forgotten this fact. Taxation isn't theft. It's the foundation of society.

This is a thread that everyone should read and share, because like it or not UKGE, our feelings on AI are NOT going away.
Eren makes some excellent points, and the way their concerns have been handled is very telling of the 'wait until it all blows over' stance that the con seems to be taking.

I'd like to say a couple of things about UKGE and their silence in regards to the whole AI debacle.

Lt William Calley was one of the main perpetrators of the massacre and only one convicted. He served 3 years of house arrest. In 1971, 20% of Americans surveyed said his conviction was excessive.
Calley died this year. Although he expressed remorse later in life, he never returned to My Lai. /END

Thompson is, to my mind, one of the finest examples of leadership and courage, military or otherwise, you will find.
It is easy to just "follow orders", pretend you don't see what's happening or that you're just doing what your country needs "for patriotism"
Doing the right thing is a choice 25/28
