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?...

please be as aggressively "back in my day" annoying as you possibly can about not using genAI for things. Back in MY day, critically acclaimed JRPG Kingdom Hearts' completely incomprehensible yet beloved story was made WITHOUT the use of genAI.

the disdain for workers losing their livelihoods just drips off of this whole fucking thing like mud off a pig. The smug confidence of a man who has convinced himself that HE is definitely uniquely irreplaceable, only LESSER work is under threat.

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.

Kudos for these women for standing up and doing the right thing but they're trying to ban trans women from e-sports now? Absolutely ridiculous.

Every dollar JK Rowling makes from Harry Potter is going into bankrolling an extortion racket issuing legal threats to organizations across the UK to purge themselves of trans people or face ruinous lawfare.
i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry
girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...

sometimes people on here complain about harassment over like, review scores, and everyone jumps in to "support" and i wonder what would happen to some of you if you experienced a fraction of what unceasingly comes at Alyssa every fucking day
Incredibly weird behavior from a man who has previously sexually harassed me. AI makes it even easier to spread low-effort misogyny, so I'm not surprised the online right is using it so much that it's melting their brains.
Exhausting, but expected.

The media doesn't treat the Trump regime's allegiances with neo-Nazis like Nick Fuentes as antisemitism, but Zohran's belief in Palestinian liberation is treated as antisemitism.
It's completely backwards and insane. Zohran will protect American Jews; the fascists will target American Jews.
