Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

use of generative AI is the late stage of giving up.
gave up as an artist? use generative AI.
gave up as a musician? use generative AI.
gave up as a business? use generative AI.
maybe it even works well for you, but you're not gonna shake the fact that in order to get there, you gave up.

Recently added a cute little watermelon stamp to my website. Simple, right? Not quite. What was originally a raster (PNG) exported from Pixilart, I turned into a hand-coded vector image (SVG) that reduced the filesize by ~90% with lossless quality.
