“This is a vile lie. All I did was say what you quoted, but you should have rewritten it to try and diffuse the utter stupidity of what I said.”
Tim Sweeney is the poster chump for how AI disintegrates the brain.

'Official' game preservation efforts are good and should be encouraged when they happen. But that's still relying on corporations and the absurdly rich to care about the history of art and the medium. For the most part, that's not going to happen.
Better to spend energy on teaching ethical piracy.

25 years of this relentless drivel and horseshit, and it looks to me like the only people who have meaningfully benefitted from any of it are various types of reactionaries, wingnuts and fascists, while half the planet goes up in flames. Those people are doing just great.

This is an overly generous take, the idea that after the bubble pops "AI" will become a technology we use like any other.
It ignores the fact that "AI" is heavily subsidized by the billions and doesn't scale. They lose money on every prompt and require ever more hardware with no end in sight.

‘Our tech overlords like the idea of being Thomas Edison, genius inventor-businessman, but they often have more in common with P.T. Barnum, genius of marketing and hype. Altman could go toe-to-toe with Barnum, and I wouldn’t want to pick a winner.’

american liberals are fine with millions of deportations as long as they happen quietly and the police don't hurt any white people. proud of it, really
Obama deported 3 million illegal immigrants during his time in office and I don’t remember a single scene like this.

these first two sentences are laughable coming from the governor of the state where the citizens actually burned down a police station in response to police violence
State and local law enforcement know the communities they serve. They’ve built the trust and know how to keep us safe.
As Minnesotans express their first amendment rights, I encourage you to remain peaceful and know that local law enforcement has one goal in mind: your safety.

JK Rowling and Glinner are the same brain space as that guy who killed Good or the smirking little shits who go on Jubilee and argue with leftists. It doesn't matter what you say to me, I want to dominate people to fill the void in my heart and it literally can never work.

It sounds so absurd to suggest literally all of the shit fascists do is because they're bewildered, terrified, insecure, narcissistic control freaks but no that's literally all it is. My dad beat me and rather than accept it I'm gonna get divorced three times and sign up for Trump's thug racket.

It does feel like we’re coming to a breaking point with Gen AI. Consumer backlash is strong, the companies aren’t profitable, and the slop classification has caught on in a way that CEOs can no longer ignore. Two of Colbert’s guests this week alone were talking about AI backlash and human made art.
Larian writing director says gen AI won't be used for the new Divinity game's writing
Says they tinkered at it for research, and it created work that was "at best" 3/10 in terms of quality, inferior to even his own worst human-written drafts

Twitter was once packed with somewhat famous people who plainly were not at all used to hearing the word “No”, let alone “LOL you are wrong, you dickhead”. It’s not hard to see which of them are the type that expect deference and respect, and turn to bloodcurdling vendettas when they don’t get it.

Honestly think it’s more that she’s the type of person who noisily Doesn’t Take Shit From Anyone, a phrase that in practice means “I hold terrifyingly intense grudges if subjected to any slight or disrespect, and I scream at waitresses who get my order wrong”.

BBC News yesterday: "Despite the ceasefire Israel's bombardment of Gaza continues, with almost daily strikes"
At what point do mainstream journalists start reporting that actually there isn't a ceasefire, instead of uttering absurdities like this.
