It is ALWAYS a mechanical turk, it is ALWAYS human beings being pressured to do more work for less wages. Every single goddamn time.
MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.
MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing
There’s a stark difference in success rates between companies that purchase AI tools from vendors and those that build them internally.

I just tried this app and... Oh. Oh I quite like this for mobile.
New Bluesky users! If Bluesky itself doesn't do everything you wish, try @tokimeki.blue. It's like when TweetDeck was actually good & useful over on Twitter. It even has an in-line translate function that doesn't force you to open up Google Translate every time. It's my preferred way to use Bluesky!

Crunchyroll really just becoming a piece of shit AI also-ran garbage company, good grief
I don't know if anyone but me would catch this, but @crunchyroll.com's latest article for the new Doraemon movie uses an AI-generated image of the cast for the header.
You can tell because Shizuka and Suneo look completely wrong, and there's telltale problems with the lineart.

if you did participate in calling Visa and MC this past weekend though, thank you! We have to keep going, but every call matters!

Also, as someone who worked on HORSES and has also made porn games + comics: I really don't appreciate when people put down one thing I made to uplift the other! Especially considering no one at Santa Ragione *ever* framed it in these terms when we were discussing the Steam ban
I am a little disappointed when the conversation is focused around "it's art not porn!" because the adult games devs get very little support but have been dealing with this for far longer, and they've been sounding the alarm for that deplatforming coming for other games (such as LGBTQ+ content).

Credit *everyone* is the least a company can do. Crediting everyone and explaining their role on the project should be the normal and respectful thing to do.
demonschool credits all 145 people who touched the game over the course of its multi-year dev cycle AND explains what exactly they contributed. the rest of the games industry, which commonly omits people from credits entirely, should be taking notes
