Although Rami told us he still felt let down by the industry's response to the genocide overall, he told us to pay attention to those who have been brave enough to step forward.
Like, for example, the @stjv.fr union members working out of Arkane Lyon, who'd released a statement in support of BDS.

That's just you not wanting to feel uncomfortable, it's sad to see people you thought highly letting you down but that's a reminder to use your critical thinking and remember the realities of AAA development.

If I had known the two paragraphs about genAI in my article today would be so controversial, I would have expanded them a bit! Here's a rough transcript of the relevant portion of my interview with Swen Vincke, so everyone has all the context. (Full article here: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...)

I've seen lots of acceleration due to the use of AI: acceleration of inequality, acceleration of climate catastrophe, acceleration of slop, acceleration of trust collapse, acceleration of scams, acceleration of model collapsed acceleration of misinformation, acceleration of drought

“We just use AI to generate ideas for our concept art”
Yes, you're just using a plagiarism machine that spits out a mishmash of creativity and ideas from thousands of creative people who didn't consent to their work being used in this way. And you're using this as the foundation for your game. 💀

The moment expedition 33 sweep the game awards it was the moment the ai gen normalized became a thing and we lost as gamers. Swen and Todd already openly admitted the use of ai in the creative process and is downhill from there. It can be polished but the source of origin for ideas comes from ai

This is like one of the most integral part of the process for producing art too, if the root source of references is plagued by Al then that means the entire product will be a mess regardless of how 'good' it looks

It's basically what AI summaries are doing now, isn't it? Destroying discoverability. People don't find websites they just find summaries of them at the top of the page and very infrequently actually go past that.

Like man, my career only exists in the way that it does now because a production designer was googling "realistic pokemon" and found me. If he could have just had a machine spit that out, I never would have gotten a job. This is a major issue hitting artist discoverability.

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.

This hurts after their game awards speech. What was that for if you still screwing other people’s livelihood and also your fans since it puts a taint on your product creative originality
So the guy himself is saying they arent really even seeing productivity gains? He said they are just using AI because they are afraid of being left behind. He is inviting this public scorn by repeating techbro talking points for no benefit at all. The mind of a CEO is fascinating.

The playbook is Palestine. Always been. If the fascists can convince you to look away, to stay quiet, to weigh the odds, to hesitate on speaking up -- about literal genocide -- the fascists can get away with anything.
All they have to do is lie loudly, retract quietly, and do crimes relentlessly.
