Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

the richest people in the world talk about the disruptive tech for people like it's an opinion. it is extreme tech and they are force-feeding it to us while telling us to shut up. we can never be extreme enough about it
"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.

half of it is war. war is legitimized taking. war is how you colonize without undermining the authority of property and ownership. the model it all comes from is dictating the guidelines of who can take and who can be taken from. when you don't see yourself up there, that is explicitly the point

half of it is slavery. the model it all comes from is white men know how to run things, and all mistakes come from the servant class being unable to realize the vision. it's colonialism, it's chattel slavery, it's deskilled labor, it's the auteur. property as exclusion, power as the right to exclude
Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

What we live in now is a demented cult exalting the right of a tiny handful of people to immiserate the rest of humanity for no real reason. It will end. It will end so totally that one day it will be nothing but a footnote in history books.

One of these days, Capitalism will sustain its last wound. It will topple and die, and we will see it bleed out in the street, neither mourned nor missed. Every cut and needle's prick brings us closer to that day.

It's not like this solves all the problems or whatever, but it's really nice to see. Just run on policies that aren't hateful and actually help working people! Don't suck off the fucking billionaires! Be cool! That's it! That's all the "lessons that need to be learned"!

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."
