I gotta hand it to whatever advertising firm Informa hired to make these, there really is something almost poetic about GDC's advertising being "an AI-looking depiction of an industry staple being destroyed with no clear elaboration of what comes after." Masterclass in unintentionally nailing it.

Made this because everyone is sad you can't kill clan members in a AAA game but I'm like, yes you can! And in 3 different flavors! It's great!

Hey it really fucking sucks that Dolly Parton, at her age, has to know what deepfakes are. I'm glad she's getting things handled, though.

THANK YOU

stop making the potential of a training model a talking point. we have NO WAY of knowing if hive and bsky have an agreement to train models off our images. but the firehose means EVERYONE ELSE IS.

please keep your eye on the ball here. the ball is MODERATION ISSUES

Pookleblinky @pookleblinky.bsky.social · 1d

The firehose is public, any jackass with an AI to train already has access to every single image. This is intentional, same reason why your list of people you block is public, built right into the system.

It's the "we have no input" part that's the problem.

Your images are already stolen.

Pookleblinky @pookleblinky.bsky.social · 1d

The thing with bluesky using AI to moderate images isn't that it's training on them, think for 10 fucking seconds about it, but that they are saying "yeah we outsourced that shit entirely, we got no control over it. It says label, we label" etc
