The year is 2035. There are three game studios left. Each one produces a game every 10 years, killing 250+ developers in the process. They all accidentally make the same game because they used genAI in preproduction. They sell 500 million units each, missing quarterly targets. Everyone is laid off.

The job of the government should be to protect all citizens equally, not to use their power to attack a vulnerable minority in order to score political points.

The government should not get to make decisions about what other people choose to do with their bodies.
This is not about protecting the common good, it's about projecting a very narrow viewpoint onto others even if it objectively hurts them.

Spenser showing up and taking care of the #daggerheart community is exactly the (sorry) daggerheartwarming story we need this holiday season. Congrats, Hope Springs Eternal team!

This.
Most of us did not choose to write or draw or design so that we could put products on the shelf. We chose to do it because it’s a set of skills we enjoy exercising, that give us fulfillment.
It’s like asking a pro pitcher to just let a machine pitch for them. Fuck off and give me the ball.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.
GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Driving back from the city today, I had to pull over and scrape my windshield 3 times even with my heat blasting at max. The wipers kept freezing from the damn rain. In all my years of driving in the winter, that was a first for me. I'm done with snow.

In the troubled days of the Eastern Roman Empire, the Basileus often had to give direct cash donatives to the army to shore up support as their legitimacy collapsed.
In a nationwide address that major US TV networks are carrying live, President Trump announces 1,450,000 military members will receive a "warrior dividend" of $1776 before Christmas.

As someone who spent a LOT of money hiring artists for several years... It's worth every hard-earned penny. Save up, borrow, run a crowd funder, whatever it takes. Use real artists and pay them real money if you, as a writer, want to be considered a real writer.
Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor.
"I can't afford a visual artist"
So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them?
Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.
