the entirety of the british press talked themselves into believing this woman is trans based almost entirely on JK Rowling's judgement of the athlete's appearance.
Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

Much of the hand wringing, imo, is over a critic explicitly saying they are judging the moral fabric of a piece of art because of the tools used to create it and it’s making some folks feel uncomfortable and shamed. The people who feel that way should sit with that feeling.

"I disagree about knocking the game so many stars, seemingly exclusively due to the use of generative AI." Terrific, that's called reasonable disagreement on the merits of the argument being made. If a game has bad optimization, do we knock it a star? Two stars? Three?

Do we ever *fully* know the full story behind a game's development? Of course not. Might this reviewer give another game a good score, if the use of generative AI wasn't disclosed? Absolutely. But it was disclosed. It's on the table. They drew a line. You're allowed to disagree.

"Let's assume the author's issue is that generative AI is used instead of hiring human actors." Exactly. It's normal to apply your personal ethics to the media you engage with. It's also clearly drawn by the critic, allowing you to easily disagree. That's a good review.

A review is an op-ed by definition. You’re just upset at the criteria being used.
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has defended AI following Eurogamer's 2/5 Arc Raiders review, which criticised the game's use use of AI voice generation. "AI dialog generation + human personality and tuning could totally transform gaming," Sweeney said.

this generation of game industry guys like Tim here have always fascinated me, because they may or may not have actually been artists at one point but they don't seem to have ever had much interest or curiosity towards art. their real primary function has been to be a sort of libertarian ideologue.
sincerely cannot imagine being this stupid or anti-art

It was a major mistake that the Senate didn’t hold high-profile hearings and investigations into the corrupt Roberts Court when ProPublica was breaking the scandals.
Now that same corrupt Court is blowing up NIH, NSF, and all of US basic science.

Hey Democratic Party, how about you do everything in your power to kick the genocidal racist fucking dipshit out of the party?
A reminder that according to Fetterman's own former staffers, Fetterman had a meeting with J-Street president Jeremy Ben Ami in which he told Ben Ami that he believes Arabs are like a "carton of sour milk" and that we should get back to killing.
"Kill them all" Fetterman is reported as having said.
