Saying that California is doing something that makes Billionaires "freak out" is probably some of the best advertising the state can have.

Remember friends, the world can support billions. It cannot support billionaires.

Despite threats, billionaires don't leave the largest population centers, because it's where there is the most money to be had from the collective value generated by human beings, and despite what they insist, they don't generate wealth; they collect it.

As a (fan) translator and localizer, this was a cool read for me.

I'm always interested in seeing how others decide to translate characters and give them their voice - especially when there's no voice acting to give you any direction.

Similar to how voice AI use has been suggested; for 'scratch'
or reference.

I know many actors, myself among them, who got jobs from the scratch work.

Every example of AI being used I've seen is cutting away a job that someone coming up would take or get on their journey.

Maybe that's the point.
rj-palmer.com RJ Palmer @rj-palmer.com · 21d
The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.

This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.
Swen Vincke @LarAtLarian Holy fuck guys we’re not "pushing hard" for or replacing concept artists with AI. We have a team of 72 artists of which 23 are concept artists and we are hiring more. The art they create is original and I’m very proud of what they do. I was asked explicitly about concept art and our use of Gen AI. I answered that we use it to explore things. I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art. The artists do that. And they are indeed world class artists. We use AI tools to explore references, just like we use google and art books. At the very early ideation stages we use it as a rough outline for composition which we replace with original concept art. There is no comparison. I talked about how we use ML here if you would like to know more: https://gamespot.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-dev-embraces-machine-learning-for-tasks-that-nobody-wants-to-do/1100-6531123/ We've hired creatives for their talent, not for their ability to do what a machine suggests, but they can experiment with these tools to make their lives easier.

Using AI to generate [X] still limits your work.

Whatever part you cut out and hand to AI is another human mind cut out that could have helped you with your ideas, or seen them from another angle; another member of the project's community no longer there to help you stop, corroborate, and listen.

Meanwhile, the president of the United States (who I believe is NOT trans) has a much, MUCH worse record of attacking people - and especially women.
dexanderson.com Dex Anderson @dexanderson.com · 21d
Minneapolis has FIFTY YEARS of inclusive laws protecting trans people, allowing them to self-identify, and ZERO cases of trans people attacking women in the bathroom. ZERO. Over FIFTY YEARS.
joyfulenby.bsky.social Kris 🐝 @joyfulenby.bsky.social · 21d
The narrative is that trans people will harm and harass people in the bathroom, but it almost always is actually like this case where the aggressor is the transphobe confronting the trans person. It's ridiculous. They want to kick "undesirables" out from public life entirely, if they could.

"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

I'm not surprised at all by Keighley or the industry, but that doesn't mean I'm okay with it. I'm disappointed, and fucking pissed. #GameAwards #GeoffKeighley #Unionize
"To say that we’re disappointed is probably an understatement. It’s very disappointing that someone with the platform Geoff has is not using it for good. The moment we actually tried to ask for something better – or for them to put their money where their mouth is – they just quietly killed the program.” "The way that Future Class members were treated by The Game Awards, it feels like we outlived our usefulness of diverse faces smiling for the camera,” Rabii, who did not attend this year’s Game Awards, told Aftermath. “Once we tried to ask the structure to put money where its mouth was, the facade crumbled. I vividly remember that during the only meeting we had after the 2023 show, when I asked Geoff Keighley why he ignored our open letter, he angrily replied ‘This is my show, and nobody gets to tell me how I should use my platform.’ What else is there to say?"

"When the country decides that something WRONG is something RIGHT"... you have a duty.
Quote from Mark Twain: "Let men label you as they may, if you alone of all the nation decide one way, and that way be the right way by your convictions of the right, you have done your duty by yourself and by your country, hold up your head for you have nothing to be ashamed of. It doesn’t matter what the press says. It doesn’t matter what the politicians or the mobs say. It doesn’t matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. Republics are founded on one principle above all else: The requirement that we stand up for what we believe in. no matter the odds or consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move. Your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth and tell the whole world: “No, you move.”

I've completed every single achievement and completion list in this franchise and I'm completely skipping this game until he gets cut. It's incredibly gross and completely undermines a huge part of the messaging of the series.
cyricz42.bsky.social CyricZ - The Dragon of GameFAQs @cyricz42.bsky.social · 26d
Announcement:

I will not be writing a GameFAQs guide for Yakuza Kiwami 3/Dark Ties.

Full statement below:
Hi everyone. CyricZ here. After giving myself time to reflect on my options, I’ve decided that I will not be writing a GameFAQs guide for Yakuza Kiwami 3 / Dark Ties. I will not be purchasing the game, nor playing it in any capacity. I write guides because I love writing, and I write for the games that I write for because they inspire me. The joy I find in them drives me to give my best work. If I were to write a guide entirely out of obligation or expectation, I do not believe my best work would find its way to the page. With the hiring of known sexual harasser Teruyuki Kagawa to the face and voice cast of Yakuza Kiwami 3, I do not find myself inspired by the game. The Like a Dragon series has a long-standing history of opposing sexual misconduct in all its forms and I feel this casting goes against that message. Key members of RGG Studio have refused to speak on the hiring of Kagawa after his misconduct was made more widely known. While they are by no means required to speak about this, by their silence they have sent a message that they do not view Kagawa’s misconduct as a dealbreaker for inclusion in the series cast, nor do they deem it worth addressing. This stands in contrast to steps taken in the past to replace other cast members that did not align with their values. I won’t go into further detail on the issue itself as the information is widely available via the #REMOVEKAGAWA movement. The rest of this will be about me, my guides, and my relationship with RGG Studio and the Like a Dragon series. I remain a fan of the Like a Dragon series. It’s not something I can just excise from myself. I intend to continue playing past Like a Dragon games on stream as they are some of my favorite video games. That may be subject to change in the future, but the plans are to continue playing the games on stream in my intended order, with the exception of Yakuza Kiwami 3 or Dark Ties. The only minor thing that will change with regards to my streams is that I intend to take special note during stream of the many, many instances during the series that remind us of the societal ill of sexual misconduct. As to future games put out by RGG Studio, I reserve the right to not make a decision on those at this time. That will be a “wait and see” situation, dependent on future actions or inactions by RGG Studio. Further, if things change with regards to the release of Yakuza Kiwami 3, I reserve the right to reassess all the preceding. RGG Studio still has the opportunity to do right in this situation, and I hold onto hope that they will see the best way forward. Finally, I promise to all my readers that my GameFAQs guides for the Like a Dragon series and other RGG Studio games will be going nowhere no matter what happens. Not only are they some of my best work, but if I preserve the guides with myself as the author, I remain in creative control of them. This prevents others from taking the text and redistributing it without my consent, which is something I fear would happen if I were to remove them from GameFAQs entirely. For those of you who read my guides, thank you so much for your support, and I’m sorry I will not be helping with this upcoming game. For anyone who wants to write a guide on GameFAQs for Yakuza Kiwami 3, be my guest, not that you need my permission anyway. For those of you joining me in solidarity against Kagawa and this release, I thank you all for sticking with it. Your commitment has inspired this. Be good to each other, Scott “CyricZ” Zdankiewicz
