I realized I'm flooding my friends' feeds with a lot of stressful stuff so I'm gonna start reposting it here instead. No hate-following, just activism/awareness/etc.

Played a bit of the Fantasy Life i DLC, the new mode seems neat and allowing more houses at the base is nice. But someone reminded me it’s a Level-5 game, and… yeah, I’m not gonna touch the game again if there’s a chance of undisclosed genAI slop in that expansion.

Zero tolerance is the ONLY and FITTING response to genAI being used in production of media.
Sure, you might think it's too harsh. Sure, they might've only used it for early stuff in development, etc
Listen, it's not even a SLIPPERY slope, there is NO friction at all unless we speak out against it.

Worth adding here that SpaceX is almost entirely funded by government contracts and subsidies, and so this really amounts to embezzling taxpayer funds to cover up the losses from his stupid idiot boxes.

it would actually cost SO MUCH LESS to just do this instead of throwing trillions of dollars at technofascists too, who would've thought
they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

Here's a puzzle,
A man has ethics and will refrain from supporting companies that cut corners with unethical tools,
The man plays other games instead, and is more than happy to do so.
The Puzzle is does a gentleman cut corners and make excuses?
Not even worth watching a playthrough.

Gamers. You guys realize if you guys are ok with AI placeholders in a game, I would be pressured by higher ups to use it too?
There's a lot of artists who don't want this in their creative process.
Higher ups just got ammo to use against us.

would've been super cool if this was posted on the UTY accounts for more reach and more eyes on vivian's gofundme. would also help with taking accountability.
otherwise this works. thank you

Here's an update on the UTY situation from an anonymous dev's perspective.
I'm really glad a resolution has been met.
I've had my grievances with the situation but it's clear this has gone way too far.
Hope everyone can have happy holidays

the biggest lie the british press tell about trans ppl isn't actually about trans ppl.
it's their claim that 'gender critical' is a grass roots movement.
it's a ruling class bigotry sparked and spurred on by the american religious right. it's a media and political class bigotry.

Trans youth healthcare is based in decades of research and supported by every major medical organization in the US. Under RFK Jr, a handpicked panel produced a dodgy report claiming otherwise.
It's a clear example of Kennedy's war on science. So why aren't news organizations treating it that way?

GenAI slop is going to be like the thin layer of microplastics in the geological record.
"Yeah, there were some fucking stupid decisions made here. They basically spent years poisoning their entire environment, and themselves."

Okay real talk, the only sense in which GenAI is "here to stay" is that even after the bubble pops, AI is digital asbestos that is poisoning everything and we'll probably be picking the detritus out of everywhere it's ended up for years, assuming there's a will to remove it en masse that is.

The thing that really sucks is that though it was retracted, the accusation is out there now, and that might be enough for plenty of folks trying to avoid AI to be put off. Damage done.

And I was only just talking yesterday about how I won't name and shame games using genAI assets, because false accusations can and do happen, and I don't want to be responsible for putting some innocent developer on blast over vibes. Now you can see exactly why and how easy it is to fuck up royally.
The Escapist accused Blue Prince developer Dogubomb of using generative AI. This is patently false and an utterly gross accusation.
The story has since been amended, but the damage has been done. You can search out the current version if you want, but here’s the original.

I dunno who needs to hear this but using AI at your Early Concept phase, or for ideation, is literally the worst place to deploy it
It isn't creative, what it does is hand back tropes. That's what the model does: sift for likely responses to an input
It's like building your foundation out of memes
