Sure, every* game company** is using AI... but using it well? Is it actually helping with ANYthing? Or is it driven by a need to have AI deliver early on the promise of substituting for human labour because there's no other problem it solves?

If Ahmed (14 years old) were a pet, donations would have poured in. But he's a child battling severe malnutrition, and the days go by without anyone offering him a helping hand.
Ahmed's life is in danger, and every day that passes only increases his suffering.

When I read Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Percy Shelley’s Ozymandias poem in college, Frankenstein because Shelley’s writing style enraptured me. Ozymandias helped fundamentally change how I view legacy with “Look upon my works ye mighty and despair. Nothing beside remains…”.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

Heads up for folx playing Arc Raiders: Embark has openly stated (in an interview with GamesRadar+), that the game uses the same AI voice tech as The Finals, and the CEO has talked about using AI to generate 3D models from YouTube rips.
If you're anti-AI you should not be playing Arc Raiders!

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

Well yeah, have you seen what happens to those who don't want to sign off on this? Can you really call that consent when the alternative is losing (or never getting) a job?

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states
Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information"
They want people to assume this means game info or assets.
But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to:
'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"

It’s not your fault. It’s the most cynical abuse of people who believed there can be ethical consumption under capitalism. You were sold the idea of a car that doesn’t destroy our environment. What you did was finance global dictatorships & mass murder. You should be so irate that you burn the car.

SUNGWON YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I LOVE THAT YOU ARE VOICING THIS LIL GIY HE ROCKS
I voice the brave Korok warrior CALAMO in HYRULE WARRIORS: AGE OF IMPRISONMENT. This character was an absolute joy to play, and it was really cool to get to be a part of a Zelda game. The game is available now on Nintendo Switch 2.
