Heard a good question regarding AI:
"Who is going to be interested in paying for something that someone couldn't be bothered to make?"
Would you pay restaurant prices to get something out of a vending machine?

People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups.
Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight.

If you’re a cake baker then I really highly recommend this recipe! Good, rich chocolate flavor with olive oil and coffee notes, and the icing is very light and doesn’t overwhelm the cake.

This is simply not technically possible. You cannot generate enough writing in-house to train an LLM. You cannot generate enough art in-house to train a GAN. People who think they have a model "trained on our own material" are using a base model of mass-scraped data, unknowingly or disingenuously.
Larian CEO says Divinity could have gen AI assets in it but only if the tools are trained on the studio's own data.
"If we use a GenAI model to create in-game assets, then it'll be trained on data we own."

What's funnier is that Druckmann got so butt hurt that literally tried the "do YOU like art?", only to receive "I do, that why i wake up evey morning, it's why i live and breath"

For further context twitter added a button that allows users to generate ai images using existing art posts from artists. It removes glaze and it basically reskins the artwork by using the existing work as a base. Twitter is no longer a safe space for art

And here's the facts:
There is no AI used in Blue Prince. The game was built and crafted with full human instinct by Tonda Ros and his team at
@dogubomb.bsky.social.
It is the result of eight years of development, fuelled by imagination and creativity, and we are extremely proud of what Tonda has achieved.

The year is 2035. There are three game studios left. Each one produces a game every 10 years, killing 250+ developers in the process. They all accidentally make the same game because they used genAI in preproduction. They sell 500 million units each, missing quarterly targets. Everyone is laid off.

going a little crazy that people are turning on the Kingdom Come Deliverance guy *now* for this AI Art stance when he's been an openly racist gamergate neo-nazi whose initial groundswell around the Kingdom Come Deliverance kickstarter was based on appealing to gamergate types.
"It’s time to face reality, AI is here to stay" - Kingdom Come: Deliverance head Daniel Vávra says Larian got a "crazy shitstorm" for doing what "absolutely everyone else is doing", and that while he's "no fan of AI generated art" it's going nowhere.

I appreciate when there's an audience backlash to this because what's happening from a dev perspective is that its gradually being normalized across many studios, through similar thinking and top-down culture-setting as revealed by these interviews.
this is a good battle to pick. the CEO mentioned using "AI" and got so much shit for it immediately that he's rattled and backpedaling. easy win there
this shit, despite its faults, is not going anywhere and people are going to have to pick their battles

Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does

Hi, we don’t use genAI in any phase of production ESPECIALLY CONCEPTING because doing so would defeat the purpose and role of concepting. Ok bye!
