We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.

Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

People say AI is a magic shortcut to creativity & success. I’ll tell you the real secret and it’s voraciously reading, being interested in everything, being diligent in the pursuit of learning, paying attention to the interior lives of others & keeping a heart open to the world.

we have a whole ass big beautiful real life world to draw inspiration from and we’re destroying it for the hallucinogenic plagiarisms and false facsimiles of a machine

while KOSA passed the subcommittee, there is still the full committee meeting it needs to go through before being voted on by the Senate/House

support is more split on it than you'd think, we just need to pull away enough votes to block it. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES!

Almost all of the revenue I get from things I have written (non-fiction or academic) comes from libraries. I always say 'get your library to order it' because that is literally the best way to support me and make work like mine available to a wider audience
Libraries purchase books. When you see a book at the library, it isn’t “free”

the library bought it.

which in turn means that the community bought it.

In other words, library books are not lost sales for authors and publishers; they’re positive sales. Active sales. Those are bought.

So I have used this in a pinch, and I can 100% vouch for it.
It's not garbage food or forgotten orders, it's always fresh same-day food.
Most of the restaurants in my area make extra specifically for TGTG, and add coupons on full priced orders.

It's a great resource, and it cuts down on food waste.

KOSA is back. This is the internet censorship bill!

And it's not just coming for SWers, it'll be coming for all LGBTQ content, because the people in charge view LGBTQ people as inherently pornagraphic!

We must push back even harder than we did last time we killed this bill 🔥
