I'd be fuming if I bought a $70 AAA most funded shooting game of all time and I saw ai assets used like this. That's so embarrassing.
- AI is used to offload the "tedious" work so devs can focus on the artistic side of things
- AI will make games cheaper to and faster to produce
Still a $70 game btw...

Your only possible response, when confronted with someone saying this, is to wait for them to finish, firmly state “What the actual fuck is wrong with you?” and leave the interview immediately.

He is digging around again -- not clear if its another book/or expanded paperback version. Was asking me all sorts of questions about why you hired Ken Starr. I told him I had no idea - I think he is doing some Trump-related digging too.

No. Empirically not. A tool empowers people; helps people. It solves an extant problem. Generative AI in creative mediums is being used as a cudgel that diminishes and eliminates people, and the only "problem" being solved is fiscal.
Stop validating it, even in passing.

You don't need evidence to accuse trans people of anything. Just make it up and the Times etc will print it for you
![Trans employee denies staring at nurses’ breasts
Sanchez Manning - Social Affairs Correspondent
Rose Henderson said that her colleagues were accepting of her
A transgender nurse at the centre of legal action over trans women using female changing rooms at a hospital has denied claims that she stared at her colleagues’ breasts.
Rose Henderson, who was born male but identifies as female, also denied walking around in boxer shorts and repeatedly asking a female nurse if she was getting changed. Henderson instead claimed she only ever “sarcastically” asked a different female colleague if she was almost changed when she was in a hurry to leave work.
The denials were made in evidence at an employment tribunal that is hearing a case brought by eight nurses against the County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust.
They claim that the trust has put women at risk by allowing trans women — males who identify as women — to use staff female changing rooms.
The nurses brought the case after Henderson was allowed to use the women’s changing facilities at Darlington Memorial Hospital.
Henderson told the tribunal: “I am not the individual [the claimants] have painted me to be.”
Henderson said she had been out as a trans women since she started working at the trust as a student in 2019 and for several years before.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyefpiziml7b24sxpd74axq7/bafkreieavxpaw7vld35cfizpc7hj2b2qdogpgl7hzjbrfnaggurod3t2qa@jpeg)
