This is bullshit.
"absolutely no genAI in games" is the middle ground.
"how many years in jail should Sam Altman get for knowingly stealing all data ever" is the somewhat more extreme stance I personally adopt.

"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

I've come to the same conclusion, it's clear the Green party have organised a coordinated and sustained attack on Labour by forcing Labour to enact a bunch of bigoted policies that people hate. Zack Polanski is clearly a bastard man who must be stopped at all costs.

Worth explicitly saying that these people, The Labour Party (UK), are actively, enthusiastically evil.
Govt minister Alex Norris is asked if the govt will take jewellery from people [fleeing war and persecution]. Norris says the govt won't be taking peoples wedding rings but they will seize assets.

It’s the same thing as the terfery really: it’s just being an arsehole and a busybody, seething at people who are just quietly going about their business without harming or bothering anyone.

What you are witnessing here is an educated professor of political science refusing to countenance the notion that a political party dominated by right-wingers who use right-wing rhetoric and pursue right-wing policies might be doing so because they are right-wing and desire right-wing ends.

The dungeon map sleeve is done! Designed by me in Dungeon Scrawl, inked by Cody at Golden Goose Tattoo in Indianapolis over three sessions. It's a functional dungeon, too. Excited to run oneshots off my arm at conventions.

Do you remember that brief couple of days where it was deemed utterly unacceptable antisemitism to suggest Israel would ever attack a hospital, that then turned into a year of the media telling us Palestinian hospitals were all secret command bases actually?
I don’t see a need to reiterate what I’ve spoken about repeatedly and what we all saw in real time, but I will say: every media outlet fell over themselves to repeat clearly insane claims from the Israeli government and coordinated bullying to toe the line was instant, harsh and extremely intense.

If you don’t know, an Italian journalist has revealed he has evidence that wealthy people from multiple countries paid money to Bosnian Serb forces in the 1990s so these people could shoot Bosnians during the siege of Sarajevo.
