Thought to end 2025 on:
Talked to my therapist and she mentioned AI, I immediately rankled and she asked what I thought because it was apparent I had Opinions. I said "I find it odd that we call it "intelligence" when it doesn't even have the capacity to know it has made a mistake or correct it"

I remember taking the mandatory engineering ethics class in college where we learned about how your job comes with serious responsibility; how software that handles medicine delivery can kill people if there are bugs or how the Hyatt Regency walkway collapse happened.
No one seemed to care.

Can't wait for the loosened up, non-perfect, but quickly shipped AI-enhanced updates to hit my banking and insurance services next year.
Im sure there will be no issues there at all.

It's very easy:
Just don't. The idea that Copilot or ChatGPT are suddenly essential tools is just buying into the corporate ad blitz.
Games were made just fine (well, relatively) up through...what, 2023? 2024? They didn't suddenly become VITAL for budgets or design docs in the last 2-3 years.

There is no AI used in Blue Prince. The game was built and crafted with full human instinct by Tonda Ros and his team at
@dogubomb.bsky.social.
It is the result of eight years of development, fuelled by imagination and creativity, and we are extremely proud of what Tonda has achieved.

Larian CEO Swen Vincke says everyone at the Baldur’s Gate 3 studio is “more or less OK” with the way AI is being used on its new game. We’re not so sure about that.

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.

periodically I'll see a backlash that goes a little too far or seems kinda unfair. i never say anything because i think we need to be kinda unhinged and zealous in our response to this shit. I'd take an honest-to-God crusade against this stuff over letting it proliferate.

Technologies are not inevitable. They are choices we make about the world we want to live in. We can put them away if we decide to.
That doesn't mean we WILL (we probably won't, so long as Capital reigns), but you can't surrender the truth that it is POSSIBLE.

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.
This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

Here's a silly detail I noticed about Fallout:
There are no CRT screens.
Oh, every single screen is *meant* to be a CRT, but we don't make them in the real world anymore. The show has had to use an LCD with a warped pane of glass on top.
That's just an ouroboros of irony there.
