People only now getting devastated by AI art in Fortnite is slightly weird to me because, with everything Sweeney has been saying for a year as he’s become a MAGA-lovin conspiracy theorist and the AI Darth Vader stuff… I though everyone already knew?

Future seasons are just going to be full of it.

Epic Games:

Laid off 850 people last year
Sells off Bandcamp after they unionize, briefly leaving them in jeopardy
Allows Crypto/NFT games
Still pushing into the Metaverse years too late
Promotes GenAI content in Fortnite and their engine as the future of game development
Tim Sweeney is an idiot
i really don't understand why gamers don't support the epic store more.

they beat apple in court, take less than half the cut steam does, and now this? hell yeah, my indie dev friends.

You can't both play ARC Raiders and be anti AI.

Using a plagiarism bot to "assist with content creation" means the final product by definition cannot "reflect the creativity and expression" of your "own development team."

Also procgen =/= AI, do not let them get away with lumping them together

We are actually doing something. DON'T STOP CALLING.
Morale at paypros call centers is in the toilet right now. It’s not just normal Black Friday stress, they’re being pounded. Corporate is pressuring bosses to end the paypros call campaigns. Source familiar w/ internals at MC stressed that folks should stand their ground but be kind to agents (1)

I've no interest in this series but I know some folks who played the first one. I've got bad news about the second one.

It would be extremely cool if a bunch of people called payment processors over Black Friday weekend to ask why they're telling people what they can and can't buy with their own money. This holiday season, give the gift of calling payment processors over Black Friday weekend
Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.

What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

Was actually excited to play this. Then I found out after putting about an hour in that it is riddled with AI slop on multiple levels. There is of course no disclosure on the steam page.

I’m so tired of AI ruining so many things. It’s entirely unnecessary.

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art.

Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.
Vine is being rebooted under the name diVine, with funding from Twitter’s former CEO Jack Dorsey.

The app plans to feature more than 10,000 previously archived Vines and does not allow AI-generated content.

Remember: don't eat the mid tier fast food chicken, don't play the wizard game, don't shop at the hobby store run by the bad guys from Indiana Jones, and don't donate to the bigot bucket.
I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season

with the announcement of this, i will be moving away from sammi and learning other streamer bots

fuck ai dude, im pissed
If you use or were considering using SAMMI, switch to a different program.

The new sole developer is extremely pro-AI, has already started using it in the code, and is in support of its use for genAI images as well. Everyone who protested this was told to leave the server and stop using SAMMI.

Geoff allegedly set up a program to get the marginalized for photo ops and then dumped them like a sack of bricks, refused to give free tickets for them TO GET THEIR AWARD, and then took sponsor money for the program, and pocketed it.

No, I will not be watching his dogshit awards, even to clown on.

I can understand asking for nuance in these discussions, but deliberately muddying the water by bringing up automation tools that people understand are not generative AI and asking for a middle ground is disingenuous. The nuanced position is that people are roundly rejecting the tech, respect that.
"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

New games weren't scarce in the 90s, but you could've easily played most of the hits. Now there's so many masterpieces that everyone has their personal endless backlog of amazing content.

AI slop shouldn't be able to thrive in a market bursting with so many human-made, genuine banger pieces of art.

"This use of GenAI is fine because VAs signed contracts to relinquish their rights".

Well yeah, have you seen what happens to those who don't want to sign off on this? Can you really call that consent when the alternative is losing (or never getting) a job?
