then die
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

We are incredibly disappointed by the Labour government's decision to seek advice from such a narrow segment of our industry. You can find our open letter here: www.gameworkers.co.uk/open-letter-...

post-uni has left me in this weird limbo of feeling like I can't do anything. and instantly getting overwhelmed when I try.
I want to keep making art but I honestly suck at it and uni has sort of left me with a kinda mixed education. it's just hard to work out next steps.

"digital asbestos" is fantastic framing.
I'm going to be honest here, I think AI is going to do so much damage to the usable internet that even after it's inevitably crashes out, it's going to take years to disentangle from every space it's polluted, like digital asbestos it's gonna be time consuming effort and likely expensive venture.
I think AI is going to eventually tank in the longterm, but...
the only real way to combat this is single-interest communities. Forums, user comms, etc, with a barrier to entry. They become trustable knowledgebases. It's really the only way forward is to return to what worked best the first time

Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star are funny in that they are almost the exact same subgenre (space western in which the main characters are bounty hunters that fail to ever make any money whatsoever) yet they are in other ways completely the opposite genres from each other (noir vs adventure)

This outdated ad is especially weird as it’s for Klonoa… A game that could have sold to both girls and boys if they’d bothered to try.
Me: man, my sister is so weird, I don't think there's anything in this world weirder than her.

If you have ever felt that 200cc in Mario Kart 8/Deluxe is much faster than it should be, your suspicions are correct. Based on the formula followed by the other engine classes, the speed the game pretends is 200cc is actually 415cc instead.

Liliana from my game team's third year game called Help My Cat Is An Eldritch God! Has a lot of problems due to rushing to get this done for the deadline but it didn't turn out too bad!

cryptocurrency in 2025 is insane to me because there are rugpulls every other day, more and more every year. you’d think people wouldn’t keep falling for it at a rate more than a baby falls for peek-a-boo

people need real high productivity jobs like bitching about wokeness on twitter and sucking at video games
This is not how the economy works. Obviously. Higher sector jobs like research and development add more to your economy. Raw materials extraction and manufacturing jobs do not give you the biggest economy in the world. Look around.

This joke is agelessly impossibly old, but is the glue that holds every dev team together. It communicates the gallows humour and nihilism that has powered the development of every game you ever loved.
the best joke in videogames development is replying "ship it" to every broken ass prototype no I will not be taking questions
