Uh. No.

I wouldn't make that assumption. And really I can confirm that my team resists literally every AI trap laid before us with vehement hatred for genAI content thievery.

A Facebook scammer took a close relative's entire life's savings away from them. Seven decades, poof, gone. Mark Zuckerberg did that to my family on purpose to make money for himself.
Meta earns $3.5 billion every six months from showing Faceboon and Instagram users 15 billion “higher legal risk” scam ad impressions a day, internal documents state.

That haul vastly exceeds how much the company expects regulators
To fine it for running scam ads.

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.

OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.

A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

Excited for OpenAI to IPO just so we can see what investor reactions are to spending $50B - $75B a quarter on data centers and AI researchers while losing tens of billions a quarter.

"the republicans have always been racist" yes, that is correct. they have not always felt empowered to be openly Nazi in their public life, and worked to install a Nazi president for life. These things are worse, and require an urgent response rather than an above-it-all dismissal.

It's 48 hours since Little Rocket Lab launched, we've been top of New and Trending for the entire time, 94% rating on Steam, huge player numbers, big numbers on Game Pass, tons of streams and YT videos...

and we've still received next to no press at all

The press for smaller games is just dead.

The elimination of exact text search from a growing number of services is a form of enshittification that I keep getting surprised by. It's search: computationally expensive (?) and a foundationally useful tool. Blunting it into uselessness is a shocking capitulation to the internet as garbage pile

This “solo dev” and “only 3 devs” rhetoric is getting truly dangerously out of hand. Investors see this and think “I only have to pay 3 people” and the result is severely overworked and/or underpaid people and a subpar product. We need to stop treating outsourcers and contractors like ghosts.

I'm so ready for genAI to be gone. I want these people to be shamed for the rest of their lives. Not only the VCs who shove it down our throats, but the scientists who let it happen because they don't want to stick their necks out. If you can't handle tough decisions, go paint houses or something.

Look, I'm just going to be blunt. I hate these people. I hate that anyone, let alone a black man, would have the audacity to use the demonic abuses inflicted upon our ancestors as a tool to deflect from abandoning their progeny today in the south.
Florida surgeon general says state will eliminate all vaccine mandates

"Every last one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery," Joseph Ladapo said. "Who am I to tell you what your child should put in [their] body?"

I challenge all conventions to echo GalaxyCon's new policy. Each Artist Alley or booth spot granted to a genAI slop peddler is being being taken away from a working artist. And smart con-runners know it's artists who make them what they are.
YESSS. Galaxycon made an announcement about it today!! Hope the other cons follow suit

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI:

At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

PSA: If you're at FanExpo Canada this weekend, take a moment to stop by the Bell Canada A I Photo Booth to tell them how upsetting it is that they're undercutting the artists of Artist Alley by offering free A I photos (that's trained on the stolen art of creators) to attendees.

This is in the replies and it demonstrates a real issue which is if you find profundity from an AI, you’re responding to something profound a human being wrote that was vacuumed up and what ends up happening is you thank AI and not only don’t thank the person, you have no idea they were involved

As soon as Air Canada knew the strike was real, they made a deal.

In other words, if the government had told Air Canada that they wouldn't force the striking workers back to work, this whole thing would've been avoided.

The government constantly siding with corporations is why this chaos happened.

I actually want more of this. I want ai companies to land all sorts of highly visible contracts with low stakes that they publicly flub. I want everyone to understand this shit doesn't work before it's integrated into something life threatening, like, say, hospital scheduling.
Gamescom's app added an AI feature this year and it did not go well. Folks were overwhelmed with automatically generated meeting requests that they did not want. It generated a lot of stuff, but not value.

They just sent everyone an apology email and disabled the AI.

Just added this to my game trailer consulting page because it's already exhausting trying to figure out if a project that comes my way uses genAI.

I'm sure some will still come my way, but I'm doing whatever I can do to minimize it 😑
