Congratulations to Dr Hervé! Her work on procedural generation and Minecraft has been really inspirational, and will have a long legacy. You should hire her - she’s an incredible researcher but also a seasoned industry game dev too!
Life update: I am still looking for work, but I am now a doctor, which make it way more fancy 😊

Cisgender folk, if you see a before and after comparison picture of a transgender person, I want you to focus in on the eyes.
The dead, heavy before eyes vs the bright, life filled after eyes should communicate why we do this.

Just a reminder that I am about to complete my Phd in Procedural Content Generation, and I am looking for a job :')
I have about 5 years of experience as a programmer in AA and AAA studios, I worked on custom engines, Unity, and Unreal.
I can work full time, part time, as a consultant, anything!

The european citizens' initiative to ban conversion therapies in the EU only has 250k signatures and needs to amass 1 million in the next 7 days... If you live in the EU, please sign it (you can't otherwise); if you don't, please share it around.
Si l'initiative citoyenne européenne visant à interdire les thérapies de conversion dans toute l'UE ne récolte pas 1 million de signatures d'ici 10 jours, elle échouera malheureusement...

The creative AI community actually did AI-generated recipes in the 2010s, without LLMs or anything like that. They had a lot of fun with it - Simon Colton and Dan Ventura even cooked a bunch of them with an actual chef at an exhibition, and they had fun silly names made by a little Markov generator.

Anti-trans policies don't just hurt trans people. They hurt anyone who doesn't fit neatly into a pink box or a blue one. And they hurt the rest of us by creating pressure to ensure that we always fit neatly into our box.
Advocate [Mar 28] -- Lake City FL Walmart fires 7-year employee w/ spotless record who tutors special needs kids in spare time after a male customer attacks her for being trans because she is 6' 4" tall. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social [HT @denisenorris.bsky.social]
Walmart fires 6'4" cisgender woman threatened by man who thought she was trans
Dani Davis told a superior at Walmart that a man screamed anti-trans epithets while she was alone in the bathroom. Walmart fired her after she reported what happened.
