I don’t believe in using AI in any part of the writing process
I don’t believe in using AI for ideas, moodboards, brainstorming, building outlines, none of that
From the first letter to the last period I believe it all should be done by a human hand
The blood, sweat, tears of it all is the appeal

Texas' SB 20 is about AI, but the wording and lettering of the law means it theoretically has a FAR greater domain of influence. It's really important that people have sharp and precise concerns with AI, regulation needs to be done with a scalpel and not a chainsaw
My kneejerk reaction was to grab a pitchfork too, but as much as I despise AI, you are totally right that this could be easily hijacked as an excuse for more porn bans.
The way political winds are blowing, chances are such a push would lead to 0 AI regulation, 100% porn and kink criminalization.

Reminder that years ago it was found out that the FBI straight up made up a whole bunch of fake forensic sciences, plural. People have gone to jail and been executed due to literally pseudoscience.
Hair forensics, for instance, is totally nonsense.
They admitted it.

okay so deck.blue doesn't want to load my main account's bookmarks, but if I can get that sorted out it'll do the trick. was a royal pain to get the add accounts text fields to work though, probably a waterfox thing? idk.

well, good to know about the quick switch feature in the bluesky app, but why tf does it have to boot you to the other account’s following feed. why can’t it just keep you on the post you’re looking at

Blanket censoring the word “gambling” is literally a pro gambling move.
Gambling platforms avoid the word for obvious reasons, so YouTube eliminating its use under the pretense of combating gambling is the best fucking cover a gambling platform could ask for.
It’s pretty disgusting.

YouTube removed another of my anti-videogame gambling videos for being pro-gambling.
What a fucking farce of a website.

like idk I like having an established term for the thought process (or lack thereof) driving decisions I make when structuring and implementing games. that was how I designed the game. miss me with “good/bad design” but we can still have design as a concept

apparently there’s game design discourse now? where did this start?
and like, to hell with prescriptive schools of design and all value judgments, but can we maybe just reclaim the term game design from them instead of just reinforcing their definition of the term…?

I'm not saying the bsky admins are super trans allies by any means, but if they're attempting to harass every trans person and ally off the platform they're doing it EXTREMELY badly judging by my timeline
Twitter users are spreading some crazy misinfo about Bluesky amid this AI art situation. I have a really cynical read on all this — I think there’s fearmongering on Twitter to prevent people from leaving. “Please don’t walk out of the jail, even though the door is open”

Played a bit of the Fantasy Life i DLC, the new mode seems neat and allowing more houses at the base is nice. But someone reminded me it’s a Level-5 game, and… yeah, I’m not gonna touch the game again if there’s a chance of undisclosed genAI slop in that expansion.

Zero tolerance is the ONLY and FITTING response to genAI being used in production of media.
Sure, you might think it's too harsh. Sure, they might've only used it for early stuff in development, etc
Listen, it's not even a SLIPPERY slope, there is NO friction at all unless we speak out against it.

Worth adding here that SpaceX is almost entirely funded by government contracts and subsidies, and so this really amounts to embezzling taxpayer funds to cover up the losses from his stupid idiot boxes.

it would actually cost SO MUCH LESS to just do this instead of throwing trillions of dollars at technofascists too, who would've thought
they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

Here's a puzzle,
A man has ethics and will refrain from supporting companies that cut corners with unethical tools,
The man plays other games instead, and is more than happy to do so.
The Puzzle is does a gentleman cut corners and make excuses?
Not even worth watching a playthrough.

Gamers. You guys realize if you guys are ok with AI placeholders in a game, I would be pressured by higher ups to use it too?
There's a lot of artists who don't want this in their creative process.
Higher ups just got ammo to use against us.

Here's an update on the UTY situation from an anonymous dev's perspective.
I'm really glad a resolution has been met.
I've had my grievances with the situation but it's clear this has gone way too far.
Hope everyone can have happy holidays

the biggest lie the british press tell about trans ppl isn't actually about trans ppl.
it's their claim that 'gender critical' is a grass roots movement.
it's a ruling class bigotry sparked and spurred on by the american religious right. it's a media and political class bigotry.
