"people would like to know if the game was made with genAI tools" is reason enough to disclose if the tools were used, for the same reason that I would like to be able to know the salt and fat content of food before I eat it

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

This person is one hundred percent correct and it’s scary af. We will never “media literacy” our way out of this as a society. We are about to reap the whirlwind when it comes to misinformation, disinformation, and informational warfare.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I really do think that Taylor saw Sabrina Carpenter and Chapell Roan, realized people like songs that talk about sex in an explicit but light-hearted way, and then made the biggest series of miscalculations anyone has ever made

Griffin’s definition of fascism as palingenetic ultranationalism—specifically a reactionary nostalgia for a lost history of the nation that never existed—remains undefeated. A nostalgia for a type of bread that is ubiquitous, created in the 20th century, and rage towards bread as old as civilisation

I will remind folks those images of Nazi book burnings aren't burning just any books. They're burning the library of Magnus Hirschfeld; a gay, Jewish doctor who created an institute dedicated to LGBTQ sex education and healthcare. And a man who pioneered gender affirming care surgeries.

Morning thoughts about "AI".
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
![Thoughts about “AI”
Yes it’s:
The slop
The theft
The brainrot
The loss of work
The crumbling of creator rights
The destroying of the environment and infrastructure
But it's also the destroying of trust in anything that you’re not seeing with your own eyes right in front of you.
Wonder now turned to the narrowing of eyes in immediate scepticism seeing something magical.
Questioning the realness of everything from a stilted written apology to profound works by students in school.
It feels like a slow poison to creativity and humanity at large.

"A.i." doesn't empower anyone. It strips them of belief in themselves and the power of their own minds and hands and abilities and stories.

Fuck "A.i." for telling kids lies and making them less-than.

It turns out very rich people are so used to being told they're right that the machine that only says "yes, you're so smart" in statistically likely ways can easily trick them into believing it is as smart as they believe they are.
Putting aside many of the ways this is insanely embarassing and focusing on one mistake you'd maybe think this particular kind of person would not make:
surely a programmer on video games of all things would know better than to draw a conclusion like this about a program from its *output*?
