Choosing—and yes, it is a CHOICE— to license Harry Potter in 2025 sends a message: "We do not care about trans people."

Fuck Fortnite, Fuck Epic, Fuck The Game Awards.
Posting this to their X but NOT their Bluesky just SHOWS they know they're doing some bigoted shit & just don't wanna get called out for it.
Imagine hurting your Transgender playerbase like this? And your Transgender viewers {In the case of TGA}?

Just say, “Create a presentation about [your topic] hot takes” (maybe “pumpkin pie versus pecan”).

I think what everyone is forgetting is that Activison Blizzard is a small, little-known independent company that has to choose between lining the pockets of desperate shareholders, or paying off those evil artists.
Call of Duty isn't even hiding the fact that loads of its calling cards and other unlockables are AI generated this year.
For one of the biggest video game franchises in the world this is pretty disgusting...

Tragic to see such a beloved satire publication publish such bullshit.
Bowser would never endorse Andrew Cuomo for mayor, because Bowser actually respects women.

I was wondering why @jetbrains.com took effort to obscure that "Full Code Completion" plugin uses AI. Now I know.
Their products will harvest your code for AI training. It sends "complete data about interactions with large language models", which means everything, if you use Full Line Completion.

Basically all ATproto apps/projects?

Parenting is hard, but I can't imagine depriving myself of the opportunity to invent stories for my kid.
It isn't just to entertain them. You're sparking their creativity and imagination, a gift that will last them forever.
Shame on any parent doing this, and fuck Altman.

Some parents are letting their kids talk to ChatGPT in the guise of characters. Some are using it to tell bedtime stories or create coloring books.
"My son thinks ChatGPT is the coolest train loving person in the world. The bar is set so high now I am never going to be able to compete with that.”

‘My son genuinely believed it was real’: Parents are letting little kids play with AI. Are they wrong?
Some believe AI can spark their child’s imagination through personalized stories and generative images. Scientists are wary of its affect on creativity
