Is it me or does this kind of stink of massive investment in public image being made in the press right now
Two different articles from The Independent and Bloomberg Opinion being hyperbolically enthusiastic about the place of AI in the US audience' lives (the first one mentioning that "nearly a third of americans have had a romantic relationship with an AI according to a survey", and the second one already claiming that Tilly Norwood, a fake AI actress, is going to lead to a race for "best AI in a leading role" for the Oscars) posted 3h apart from each other.

A bit late to that Not #GDC party but hi, I'm Raquel de Miranda!

I'm a freelance narrative designer who now mostly focuses on indie, and yeah! I hope I get the opportunity to meet all of you fine folk someday! ✨

A rare LinkedIn post for the new year.
A LinkedIn post that reads: " Happy New Year over here! ✨ In 2025, I'm making my desperate call for you to discard genAI, ChatGPT, and the AI tools not fully and forcefully shoved down our throats yet. Even if it's "convenient" or cheaper. Especially if it is. Don't devalue your friends and colleagues. Don't sabotage their worth, *your* worth, because of your checked-out laziness. Don't devalue yourself, your own resources, your own critical eye. Stop making the world worse, stop dissociating on purpose. The impact, both human and environmental (not to mention the actual and hyper-devalued human labor from the Global South hidden within the machine), isn't worth whatever convenience or cheap dopamine or ego hit you're getting. Dare to engage with what's messy within you. Honor yourself. Do the work. You are not merely data to be purchased and sold and replicated. Don't make it easier for that horrendous grift, that billion dollars industry of what might be one of the biggest heists in humanity's history. Don't help them win, don't decide they have already won!! Don't normalize your own commodification. Don't let the slop win, don't enshittify yourself for people who would sell your soul for a market share in a heartbeat. You won't be human for long. Engage with that gift you have while you still have it. (**there are rare and very specific cases where machine learning is a warranted and necessary tool, but I trust those people to be smart enough to know the difference. Exceedingly little of those apply to creativity or videogames.) "

"Bluesky Elder" is making me want to sit down in a great wooden hall to ponder on common affairs with a very long white beard.
