A lot of companies seem to be under the impression that we only care if gAI was used in the final product and using it for concept art/placeholder art is ok.
gAl is poison that should be nowhere near any creative process. Not a single asset. Not a single placeholder sign.
Give no inch.

From 2024. Apparently missed that the first time around. This just destroys my hype for Dark Heresy. If Rogue Trader was made without AI “helping” the concept art phase, there is zero reason to push it on to Dark Heresy development. I am gutted.

Amazon started pushing their stupid AI crap into a floater on the left side of search results. You can block it, but it might leave an empty space.
Unfortunately for them, I use uBlock Origin...and someone already came up with a filter for blocking their AI bullshit.

If Firefox were taking it "seriously and absolutely" they'd simply say "we're not putting LLMs in our web browser, because it's a web browser."
Something that hasn't been made clear: Firefox will have an option to completely disable all AI features.
We've been calling it the AI kill switch internally. I'm sure it'll ship with a less murderous name, but that's how seriously and absolutely we're taking this.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.
GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

I am an old man, @mozilla.org, and I was happy to sit in my rocking chair and use Firefox until sunset. But if you insist on choking this browser with GenAI bloat, I will face God and walk backwards into Linux.
@mozilla.org I have been using Firefox for YEARS. Not sure what the new CEO is hoping to achieve by "AI everything now" but if the hope is to drive people like me off your browser, you will surely succeed.

I just want to mention that I had made a giant feedback post on all of the lumber costs of professions for every expansion quite some time ago talking about how heavy the cost is in combination with the very few lumber we receive. It didn't get much eyes.

Housing Profession Feedback
I posted this in the main housing thread but I wanted to also give this some visibility elsewhere, and it’s also a bit more specifically focused on the profession-produced decor rather than housing it...

The only immediate and TANGIBLE way of pushing back against this is to *cancel subscriptions*.
If they have 90 shows and push out 10 AI dubs, they can start marketing “we have over 100+ shows!”
It’s not about quality, but the scope of offering. *Your* subscription money is used in part to fund it.

Welp, a second AI dub on Amazon has apparently been found, and it's a show that already had a perfectly normal (albeit non-union) dub: No Game No Life.

Explaining to a computer how capitalism works and what it’s expected to do within it and the first thing that comes up with is overt fraud
When you email issues to Obsidian Entertainment (the video game company) their AI support hallucinates and tells you to email Obsidian (the note-taking company) instead.
If the reward function is to reduce the number of touches in a support ticket, this is one way to do it.

Every passing year I get more flabbergasted by the site's continual support and growth. There are times when I thought its peak was behind us but this year continues to break records.

I genuinely love that Larson continues to be A Weird Little Guy, as opposed to becoming some sort of weird online white supremacist like at least two cartoonists that readily spring to mind
It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again.
