we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

Holy shit, that’s just actual theft.
In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

What can I say but Fuck Meta. They’re killing so many amazing studios to do what? Focus on making the world an even worse place? Garbage company.
I'm hearing some really disheartening news that Camouflaj, the studio behind Batman: Arkham Shadow, may have been completely laid off, including Ryan Payton and Matt Walker, despite reports saying otherwise.
Heartbreaking news if true. This team poured everything into that game.

They said universal childcare was impossible. They said Albany would block it. They were wrong.
Eight days into office, Zohran Mamdani locked in a fully funded pathway to universal childcare with Kathy Hochul.
This is what happens when organized people beat organized money.

Right? YouTube’s hit upon one hell of a scam this time.
Using rules against gambling to censor criticism of gambling while selling gambling ads is straight up machiavellian and kafkaesque

Regurgitative AI is now implicated in multiple deaths but still there is no sign of regulation.
Meanwhile, governments are working to ban trans people from public life based on imaginary scenarios that haven’t happened.
Not even AI could write a situation as stupid as this shit.

It's sometimes shocking to see the synthetic, heartless hate/greed machine grinding on like this. You know its always happening, and you see bits and pieces throughout your day, but having all corners lined up and framed like this is, is somehow...scarier.
amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

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.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

Don’t let CEOs quibble over how much they’re pushing for AI. Regurgitative AI is a plagiaristic poison, to use any amount of it is to use it too much.
They want the concessions, because concessions can creep. Zero tolerance is the only way to say no to it.
