This isnt "back end optimization", this isnt "helping artists do their jobs", this is replacing talent with actual slop. This is why i think more individuals AND news outlets need to talk about the problems of genAI. They think they can feed players slop and some of'em let them.

Fellow devs, the so-called “Festival of Gaming” has the guts to warn everyone that skipping GDC means you “don’t care about developers”... Because Informa cares about ticket tiers, sponsor booths, and keeping the same unaffordable event locked in the same country that’s sliding deeper into fascism.

The whole obsession with space is wild, because let’s be real we can’t even properly maintain or fix this planet we have rn. Let alone geo engineer a foreign one. You’re never ever gonna live in space. But if y’all don’t stop with the delulu soon, we’re just gonna burn up in here together.
For the love of god can we stop airing articles about "X tech bro says this is gonna happen in X years clearly just in service of a publicity stunt". No. It's not going to happen. Obviously. Why are we indulging this?

Hey Americans, if this passes you'll be uploading your ID to every social media and website to access it.
Be aware that another shitty bill has been introduced: The SCREEN Act.
If passed, it would require Full. Age. Verification.
Like KOSA, call all your reps & tell them what a horrible idea this is.
Spread this pls.
