We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

I don’t think Larian understood that when they casually talk about their use of genAI it wasn’t spoken into a board room or a zoom call full of people thinking about numbers, it was to a host of fans who looked to them as an example of humanity and art persisting in spite of things like that.

As someone who has worked as an actor and writer and director in the Anime industry, please know that simuldubs and the lack of compensation for the labor of time/energy are actively hurting us. Working untenable hours and holidays is causing numerous health issues, too. LET’S DEMAND BETTER!!!

"It's just concept art, who cares if they use genAI and not actual artists?"
Look at this concept art for C-3P0 by Ralph McQuarrie.
It's the very thing that inspired Anthony Daniels to go for the role of Threepio and perform him as such.
It is the first heartbeat of the art that now exists.

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam

A disabled friend going to FanFest is concerned about the lack of consideration for disabilities and may end up selling their ticket. If anyone can pass along to SE or someone in fanfest, would be appreciated. would be sad if someone couldn't enjoy the event because of obstacles.

Sadly, Mr Stake passed this morning.
Nick still needs help, though. If you can safely lend a dollar, that would be much appreciated.

so just to be clear we have identified both the utah and colorado shooters as right-wingers who are in too deep with their violent rhetoric and ideology.
it’s clear what the problem in our nation is.
