Every year of this century has been uglier, dumber, meaner, more needlessly cruel, more exploitative and more insulting than the one that preceded it and nobody can explain why without pointing fingers at important people who cannot now be accused of culpability, without incurring painful costs.

I know this art was picked cuz its GTA but boy howdy does it look like its suggesting a solution
Rockstar co-founder and former Grand Theft Auto writer Dan Houser has likened AI to mad cow disease, and claimed that humanity is being pulled in a direction “by a certain group of people who maybe aren't fully rounded humans.” https://bit.ly/4pDEfoN

I think Zack Polanski was right to make this point, it highlights the gross inequality between the super rich and the rest of us.

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Kind of baffling how all the Serious People have converged on this notion that climate change is yesterday’s news right around the time it actually starts to have a visible, day to day impact that even regular people have to go out of their way to not notice.
People who care about climate change are “dreaming nostalgically about the past.” - Minister Hodgson

The annoying thing about the "oh we left a placeholder" generative AI slop excuse is that that is EXACTLY NOT how you should be using placeholders. Anything "not obviously terrible with a panicked hurried half-awake glance" is getting shipped.
In gamedev, if you're using a placeholder asset, best practices involve marking it as placeholder so garishly and offensively clearly PLACEHOLDER that you can't possibly miss it. Also flagging that asset in the dev process so it can be identified quickly before the final build.

I think the most charming thing about Warhammer 40k is, at its heart, the lore feels like two five-year-olds constantly trying to one-up one another.
"MY guy is RAMBO and SHOOTS your guy!"
"Nuh-UH cuz my guy is made of DIAMONDS and EATS the bullet!"
"The bullet EXPLODES!"

Covering what is going on based on what the Home secretary is saying or highlighting the moral panic she is whipping up is an editorial choice
The Guardian as often when it comes to this government chooses to follow power over scrutiny. Doing so, it also chooses to mainstream far-right politics
