Opinion: However you frame it, Valve's ham-fisted ban of an indie darling is another blow for free expression in video games, and this will always be a tragedy.
Santa Ragione's Horses is just one instance of a growing trend - and one we ought to resist.

Microsoft's head of AI doesn't understand why people don't like AI, and I don't understand why he doesn't understand because it's pretty obvious
Is it really "mindblowing" that people are skeptical of software that consistently doesn't do the things we're told it can do?

It’s infuriating to me that I need to evaluate media to determine whether it’s AI generated now. The great “time saver” technology wastes incalculable time and energy for people who want to retain their grasp on reality

Every prompt to chatbot software is “generate me some text.” If it generated you some text, it performed its function correctly. It never lies, it never wants anything, it’s text generating software that generates text.
Not wanting to disappoint you so much that it lies is the last quality I want in a computer.

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Hi, so just to check in on your awareness: since the ceasefire, how many Palestinians do you think Israel has murdered or maimed directly with weapons, indirectly with the effects of the genocide, and how many sovereign nations has it attacked directly outside of Palestine?
