Hi I like making things. Digital and physical. I don't share much of it because of perfectionism... struggling indie game dev too. Okay bye 👋❤️

BREAKING: Here’s the 60 Minutes Segment Trump and CBS News Executives Don’t Want You to See
Hours before it was set to air last night, CBS News executives pulled the segment, but Canada’s Global TV app received it prior to broadcast.

Zero tolerance is the ONLY and FITTING response to genAI being used in production of media.

Sure, you might think it's too harsh. Sure, they might've only used it for early stuff in development, etc

Listen, it's not even a SLIPPERY slope, there is NO friction at all unless we speak out against it.

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

"Gen AI won't affect you, because you have clients and good reputation!"
This argument says a lot about gen AI enthusiasts - people who don't know the concept of carrying about peers (or potential peers).

This is such a misunderstanding of why writers, artists, and designers do research to begin with, which is to find something unexpected, not capture the average or find reference for the default.

And, as always, the biggest misapprehension: We don’t want to NOT do this part. It’s fun to learn shit
Anyone who supports this is an embarrassment. "Instead of typing it out they'll generate their idea"? Are you insane?

Call yourself whatever you want but you aren't creatives, that's for sure.

Yeah, I'm also surprised everyone just moved past this despite it being the exact same people. I think what happened is the nazis turned on Vavra and people were happy to sympathize with him despite him not actually changing anything about his thoughts.
Oh good this provides me with a chance to finally say this:

Hey did we just brush aside all the weird shit about the devs of KCD aside for the second game? The whole WE ARE SO HISTORICALLY ACCURATE THERE ARE ONLY WHITE PEOPLE IN THIS GAME, IGNORE THAT EVIDENCE THAT POC LIVED IN EUROPE

On the heels of the failure of big money pushes for NFTs, crypto, wearables, and the metaverse, it is absurd to hold the position of "AI is inevitable and we must learn to live with it."

It's also a craven position that suggests we shouldn't fight for what we value. We decide our own fates.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

Can't believe I'm doing this again but:

I don't believe the "using AI as a placeholder" excuse studios make. Placeholders are supposed to be bright and ugly so you remember to change it later.

"Placeholder AI" is being used so that if they don't remember to change it, it's "good enough" to ship.

The human cost of Trump's gutting of USAID: By the time Tor Top’s mother was sick with cholera, the nearby clinic had been shuttered for weeks. He bundled her into a canoe & paddled toward the nearest hospital, 8 hours away. Less than halfway into the journey, his mother died.

If there's anything AI has done for me this year, it's awakened a hunger for person-to-person connection. Hanging out with a baby, going to see live theatre, eating food someone made, appreciating art from 200 years ago, from 800 years ago, from 10,000 years ago... Human creation is so wonderful.

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone

- tech is now more expensive
- you cannot trust most media of reality anymore
- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil
- more spyware

but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.

Praying for his full & speedy recovery.

And so deeply inspired by his example.

Yes.

I judge the absolute shit out of people who do things like, oh play a Hogwart's game because it's free.

It's also a social good that I do so, that everyone do so. Apparently you can't actively care about trans rights and transphobia and bigotry and active evil

But you care how we treat you.
