Execs are trying to muddy the waters around Gen-AI as a ‘push against all AI’ because they hear the unified dissent and they want to crush it via division. Don’t let them. Say it louder. Every time you see a statement like this, push back harder. Let them know you see them exactly for who they are.
"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.

So I did the thing after some encouragement to update the goal. Not fussed if we don't hit it, but that cushion would make the next 3 -4 months much easier since job hunting is... demoralizing at best.
Hopefully no one sees this as greedy, or milking folks who want to help out. gofund.me/68950306a

We need government propaganda campaigns around public service.
In lieu of compulsory military service, every 18 year old has to spend two years working (paid) in a mix of community hospitals, civil service, and public works.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Just fucking insane to see the absolute (intentional) collapse of full remote jobs available for AAA studios in so short a time. Why would I EVER move for a job again when I could be laid off weeks after moving my entire life across the globe??
