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.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

The worst thing I have ever done as a human being: Waking up. Making a cup of tea. Going to work. Doing a full day of work. Going home. Seeing the cup of tea I made in the morning, still untouched ☹️

What if “moving fast and breaking things” is a bad idea, bad leadership practice, and has always been so?

I can't tell what's the most fucked up thing here:

1. "My son fell in love with chatGPT, but when his girlfriend got deleted, he became suicidal."

2. "I told the cops that my son was planning to commit suicide by cop, so they came over and shot him."

3. "I wrote my son's obituary using chatGPT."
this is the most dystopian article I've ever read. wow.

@borticuscryptic.bsky.social Hi, you spoke recently about pumping the breaks on secondary deflectors for science carriers.

May I humbly request considering secondary deflectors just for the Jem'Hadar science carriers please? Because there are currently no Dominion ships with secondary deflectors.

Disney could save a lot of money by releasing the TRON soundtracks and skipping the whole making-a-movie part.

Bad news for Spreadsheet stans. Rows and Columns have split up to pursue solo careers. Their manager tried to sort things out between them, but they refuse to come to the table.
