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.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

man i’m really proud of myself for pulling all this off… like if this was *just* a twine game i feel it could well stand on its own, especially love the styling and transitions on it… but putting all these into the bigger Unreal game makes for a beautiful way to tell a layered complex story!

Nathalie Lawhead @alienmelon.bsky.social · 12d

here is a video of Bitsy embedded in a Twine game!
this will be embedded in my Unreal game as story pieces that you can find.
the Bitsy is an interactive illustration of the story, so it's like you can investigate memories closer by playing them.
it's very cool! 🤓 #ScreenshotSaturday #GameDev

Political and discriminatory bias in AI is not a bug: it's the feature.

People spent years asking how tech companies would improve genAI so that it stops turning everyone white, seeing this as a technical flaw. The real question was why the hell should we trust a tool that can turn everyone white.

Consume Me is finally out! This game blew me away when I looked at it for IGF. It deals with the real pressures of growing up as a teenage girl while telling that story through a whirlwind of delightful QWOP-like minigames. It’s charming and fun and smart and I hope everyone checks it out.

did you feel stupid, fat, lazy, and ugly in high school? well i did...but at least i made a life-simulation RPG about it!
