I'm watching one of the Oceangate documentaries, and boy, lemme tell you, I've got one big piece of advice for any billionaires out there-

If you're looking to commit suicide, try just doing it by yourself, don't drag four other people with you.

Yup.
I'm telling y'all, these dudes don't know anything.🤡

Frank Sinatra was a vocal anti-racist. He fought racism with his actions, his words, and his money.

Actions:
Refused to stay at segregated hotels. Made sure Black artists got paid fairly.

Words:
Literally wrote an article in Ebony Magazine

can't believe it
MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.
MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing
There’s a stark difference in success rates between companies that purchase AI tools from vendors and those that build them internally.

If you showed push back against WOTC for firing artists or getting using AI art, then you better be willing to fight back against it happening through the TTRPG/board game community.

No GenAI in video games, board games, music, art, ANYTHING. GenAI isn't work, GenAI doesn't work.
I wish boardgames got the same backlash for using AI art in final products that Larian Studios and Expedition 33 did for just using it in pre production

Awaken Realms (whose CEO also owns Gamefound) openly admits to it and still raised >$15 MILLION on crowdfunding this year

Hate the argument of "Well you can boycott for now, but soon every game studio is going to use genAI and you won't be able to tell or avoid it anymore!!"

dude there are already more videogames in existence than I'm ever going to be able to play in my lifetime. this boycott shit is easy.

In order to put to rest “did they actually use it or not”, Guillaume Broche said it a recent Q&A that they tried AI when the tech was new, but they didn’t like it, it felt wrong to them. And they will not be using it in the future.

The decision to call it AI was so, so very intentional.

AI makes you think of Cortana or HAL 9000, it's a marketing stunt to sucker people into believing it's more advanced than it actually is.

If it was just called an LLM, it wouldn't have had the same pull and appeal to nerds.
The confusion and conflation of ‘generative ai that is built on stolen artwork’ and ‘machine learning, character behaviour modelling and proc gen’ is intentional on the part of the grifters peddling the former. They benefit from murkiness of classification, because the latter predates their bollocks
