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 post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

I have a joke about Kant, it's imperative that you laugh at it
i have a joke about Wittgenstein but it's difficult to put into words
I have a joke about Thomas Hobbes, but it's nasty, brutish, and short.

Going to keep saying: a society that wants to keep its basic functioning has to discourage lying. rewarding it instead is suicidal
big lesson for america here: one reason you dont elect people who believe bull shit like "theyre eating the pets" or "theyre putting kitty litter boxes in the classrooms" is bc if they get in power theyll believe bull shit like "tariffs are a tax cut actually"
