Yes, I’m happy that Warhammer is staying away from AI. I’m also happy they realize AI is currently synonymous with intellectual property theft and will defend their interest against it.
Nothing new is made using AI, only stolen and mutilated.

'Warhammer' maker Games Workshop has banned the use of AI in its content production and its design process
• A small number of senior managers have experimented with GenAI tools — none are that excited about the technology
• The company plans to hire more human creatives

Hey, you. You've had various people scoff at the things that bring you joy and it's made you feel really small at times. But you're still going, cause that's the most important bit. And if you're struggling with it at the moment, don't let those joyless judgers stop you doing the nice thing.

You know it’s not the heat so much as it is the unyielding atmospheric stress and relentless legacy pressure to feel the same way you did 30 years ago when the things you were promised for a lifetime of hard work still existed

Overall the Warhammer preview last night was pretty impressive. All the models looked cool, though it was a good case study in how AoS models often have so much more personality and general ‘oomph’ than 40k models. Still both the Votaan and the Hellsmiths models were great…

Do you remember when your bosses all demanded you use your iPhone to do all your work and also insisted that you spend as much time as possible browsing the web and downloading MP3s?
No.
Because nobody needed to force those useful techs on the greater population. People adopted them naturally.

Fascinating. Microsoft emailed me to say it was raising the price of Microsoft 365, but when i went to cancel it offered me me the old price — without all the AI bullshit.
It’s forcing AI on everyone and making them pay more for it, then only telling them they don’t have to if they try to cancel.

That people experience racism differently is basic racism theory. A Jewish girl probably wouldnt be stripped searched in school. A Black person wouldn't be held accountable for the crimes of a country they've never seen. But both, during their lives, will experience prejudice. Like I said BASIC 🤦🏾
