"The more we let companies use GenAI in development, the more we all stand to lose."

As scope increases and budgets shrink, The Alters is a cautionary tale of gaps plugged up by AI, and the backlash that follows.

The more we let companies use GenAI in development, the more we all stand to lose. We examine the ripple effects of AI use in games, beginning with The Alters.

Finally back in Bris from my 17 day (!) trip for MIGW and SXSW. Pleased to say that Brisbane still (easily) holds the top spot for east coast cities. Here are some pictures from Sydney...time to sleep now 💤

Sydney is weird, it feels like this city was built twice as large as it needed to be. Awnings are too high, public spaces have large empty gaps, and the buildings are massive.
