Take away my photoshop, take away my tablets, I can still draw. Take away your plagiarism machine and what are you gonna do? Shout prompts at me?

My playdate arrived! The thing's a lot of fun, and I can't wait to program a lil' something for it myself. Its just what I need to wind down after months of stress due to my Bachelor's degree (yes, I know, I am taking a break from making games by making... a game)

Man, am I happy that I graduated from secondary school before Sam Altman's plagiarism machine was a thing. Good job tech bros, your fancy new gadget has brought us the future of "people can't read anymore", my favourite flavour of dystopia.
I talked to 15 teachers/professors about how AI and ChatGPT is ruining their lives:
www.404media.co/teachers-are...
www.404media.co/teachers-are...
Teachers Are Not OK
AI, ChatGPT, and LLMs "have absolutely blown up what I try to accomplish with my teaching."

For a person like me, whose only experience with classic nintendo games was lending a game boy from our local library for a single week, the switch online collections are a blessing. Its making me feel nostalgia for something I've never had!

All over the surface of the planet, strange tornadoes appear. They are surrounded by a massive wall of dust and seem to be powered by a powerful source of energy. What dangers will await you inside of it?

Did we just forget about click workers? Did we really?? Do these people even understand that the hallucinations of fancy applied statistics they call "AI" are built on top of thousands of HUMANS labelling the stolen training data for abysmal wages? When will these HUMANS get HUMAN rights???
“Can ChatGPT experience joy or suffering? Does Gemini deserve human rights?” our tech columnist asks. “Many A.I. experts I know would say no, not yet, not even close. But I was intrigued.”
Should We Start Taking the Welfare of A.I. Seriously?
As artificial intelligence systems become smarter, one A.I. company is trying to figure out what to do if they become conscious.

Sometimes weird stuff happens when reworking what you already have. This time around our screen got sucked into the vortex by the shader gods, they do not seem to listen to our prayers.

This is why I hate it when economics bros use "supply and demand" as an excuse for companies doing evil stuff. Who wants this!? Bring me ONE person who would genuinely enjoy playing that. This is nothing but an insult to human art and creativity.
You can try the Microsoft just released a Quake 2 demo that runs on genAI.
It forgets where you are you each time you look at the floor and soft-locks when it's to dark. A technological marvel.
You can try the "Copilot Gaming Experience" here: copilot.microsoft.com/wham

From there you will plot a course across the alien desert, and steer a drone to defend your moving home!
