Please read this in the gentlest possible voice but we HAVE to divest from mil-sims as gamedevs. Even before this AI bullshit in the latest Black Ops, these games have done so much harm and contributed massively to the dehumanization of several populations worldwide. It’s US foreign pol propaganda.

I can’t believe I heard about the nominations a day after tweeting this from the brand account… Never Punished and FUCK AI
Been too angry to post brand-ly lately but here's one:

AI? More like Ay, I'(m gonna kick your ass if you don't stop trying to sneak the world melting plagiarism machine into human art and expression!! If you weren't ashamed of yourself why do you keep hiding it? Why aren't you proud of yourself?hm)

This is comedy, but it's actually a fantastic representation of how somebody can end up in a delusional spiral.

I do not believe ChatGPT can trigger this in someone who isn't already vulnerable to it. However, people are usually unaware of that vulnerability before their first break with reality.

After an inspiring trip to Melbourne for their Games Week, I realized I want to practice being more vocal about my personal projects

SO: Here’s the latest episode of @geeksandgrounds.bsky.social where I chat with @miladyconfetti.bsky.social about a game that definitely hurts 😮‍💨
October's game is Mouthwashing, and the episode with @miladyconfetti.bsky.social is LIVE!

The game begins with "I hope this hurts" and it DOES hurt: it also provides much to dig into regarding the capacity for harm and "taking responsibility"

Watch now:

Silksong was developed the way it was because the developer didn't have to worry about money.

The only way you get more games developed like Silksong is if Universal Basic Income becomes a thing.

The cruelty of this is, genuinely, staggering. This is a policy that saves virtually no money whatsoever whose success is measured in the number of children it kills.
Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

I cannot express how long and how strong I will absolutely roast you if you ever talk about using ChatGPT to me.
i dont want to be a killjoy but we desperately need to make it socially unacceptable to talk about asking chatgpt things in regular conversation

Hi friends. I’m sorry to keep making posts about this.

I need a job. Every attempt is falling through. Referrals aren’t cutting it. No feedback is ever given, but I’m happy to change or learn anything.

My hours are flexible, pay is flexible. I just need to bring home /something./

Sorry for being gauche but if you want to get invested in media about witches that isn’t racist garbage that enables a transphobe, check out a game made by a majority of trans people including yours truly. Bonus it helps fund my hopeful escape from this hell.

with 4chan dying, there will probably be an exodus of users onto other platforms. a bunch will likely end up on this app. it's important that you all remember to bully the shit out of them when they do show up!

Howdy Hi mutuals, more is being revealed about InZoi being AI slop for more than just "textures." Krafton is an Ai Slop lover who wants to use genAi to replace voice actors, story writers, graphic designers, and more. He's using way more genAi than he initially let on. Stop supporting theft.
krafton also uses genAI for their advertisement, and according to the article, they want to save money on voice acting, 3d modeling, dialogues and other stuff by using genAI. it is quite impossible to create genAI on their own data.

it's not "it's just about generating textures!!!"
