So Trump's regime might actually be collapsing - great.
But if we don't dismantle the structures that delivered it and work to fix the system then it'll just happen again. We cannot have a free and fair society when billionaires can buy politicians. Period.

This is could well be a historic midterm for Democrats.
Don’t waste it on centrists who won’t come through when it matters. Run vocal progressives.
You won’t end Trumpism without anti-corruption crusaders and warriors for social and economic justice who believe in taxes & big, universal programs.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

The headlines should be 'MTG no longer supports Trump,' not the other way around. Trump treating anyone as a disposable pawn is nothing new, but seeing someone like MTG say, 'This is too much,' within a movement like MAGA says something much more interesting about what is happening.

I still see people talking about Activision and that's underselling it. This is Microsoft's game.

At the end of the day, Generative A.I. is nothing more than a plagiarism machine. It will never birth the next Dr. Seuss, Jim Henson, David Lynch or any other artist known for their unique and creative imagination and storytelling.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

I’m not fond of the idea that “lazy” is entirely off the table when it comes to criticism. Yes, making a game is hard work, but some decisions *can* occur due to someone not being arsed.
Regardless, the use of plagialgorithms should end ANY protection from such accusations for these lazy frauds.

Ubisoft and Treyarch resorting to regurgitative AI in their big $70 “AAA” games is simply pathetic.
The lack of integrity, the lack of dignity, the lack of pride. Sure, it’s all expected, but nonetheless miserably *pathetic* to witness.
Have some fucking self respect for once.

Yikes. Not only does Metroid Prime 4 have commutes, it has annoying partner characters that never shut up? What other terrible industry trends are waiting? Is it also a rougelike with loot boxes?
It's not to late to restart development again, just saying.

I hope I'm near the end of the story in the Valhalla DLC. I'm already getting fatigued of the rougelike gameplay loop.

lately i've been thinking about how LLMs must feel really amazing to use if you're a dumbass, but incredibly frustrating if you're just basically competent in life.
Is AI making job recruitment less meritocratic? We're getting some v interesting research studies on this question now, and the news is... not good. @jburnmurdoch.ft.com & I dive in, in the latest edition of our newsletter The AI Shift www.ft.com/content/e5b7...

Execs always claim bloated budgets increase retail prices. This is a lie.
They will always increase prices to whatever they think they can get away with. Always have, always will. AI is merely a new get-richer-quicker scheme.
And execs will never admit the most bloated costs… are themselves.

- AI is used to offload the "tedious" work so devs can focus on the artistic side of things
- AI will make games cheaper to and faster to produce
Still a $70 game btw...
