Keep hearing devs say that they only use ai for "pre-concept art"
There is no pre-concept art. There is concept art. That's where the idea starts. With the concept.
You're using ai for concept art.

Every one of them is head over heels to crush artists creating consensual imagery and they don't give a shit about csam. Real revenge porn and csam is happening in front of their eyes and they shrug. Evil, stupid, lazy politicians. Rotten sludge staining the carpet in the capitol
I reached out to the sponsors of the Take It Down Act and the Kids Online Safety Act, all of whom maintain a daily active presence on X. I noticed that most of them continue to post on X officially despite getting little to no engagement on their posts.

Why isn't there a bigger Grok boycott?
Advertisers, politicians, and investors are still all-in on X, despite a sexual abuse crisis.

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people
really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture

Don’t wanna sound like an asshole but I don’t understand this whole “it was inevitable” “everyone does it” “no one cares if they do” like have some integrity. Do you believe in anything or do you just exist to mindlessly consume. I CARE and I don’t care if I’m the only one.

imagine making one of the most well-received games in recent years, one that oozes personality on every level, and then deciding "you know what will really boost our next project to the next level? the soulless slop machine that kills the planet and steals art and stuff."

I have never felt my own excitement fade so viscerally quickly in my entire life.
NEW: I spoke to Larian boss Swen Vincke about their ambitions for their new RPG Divinity, cutting down development time, pressures from Baldur's Gate 3, why BG3 wouldn't have happened without Tencent, how Larian uses generative AI, and much more www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

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.

Honestly, good for Sandfall. It’s nice to see so many indie powerhouses absolutely killing it, and actively supporting each other.
