steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

In 2023, like many people, I participated in Dungeon 23. The end result was a massive, Metroidvania-inspired dungeon called The Castle Automatic.

Here are three techniques I am using to structure the information architecture:
-Room names and numbers
-Landmark/hidden/secret
-Enemies last<>first

Ballet [1/4]
A cartoon crow looks up at a poster for a ballet studio that includes art of 6 ballerinas dancing and a guide of the first 5 ballet feet positions. The crow marvels that humans can glide on the ground as birds do in the sky. The crow decides to try dancing too, following the illustrated poses on the poster. The crow crosses their legs and bounces.

After a yearish watching together; today friends & I finished the main four seasons of the 2000's Battlestar Galactica. Definitely not the ending I expected; but certainly a thematic one. Thoroughly enjoyed the show. Highly recommend. Gonna try to get smth signed this weekend.

DuckDuckGo has added a feature to filter out AI images from search results.
Post from "The Rundown" July 18 at 5:30 PM · DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material. Source: TechCrunch

Trying to think of other revolutionary products that consumers repeatedly had to be tricked into paying for rather than ones that consumers loved and demanded

Fascinating. Microsoft emailed me to say it was raising the price of Microsoft 365, but when i went to cancel it offered me me the old price — without all the AI bullshit.

It’s forcing AI on everyone and making them pay more for it, then only telling them they don’t have to if they try to cancel.

Watching movies in which heroes stand up for the little guy, do the unpopular brave thing simply because it is right, help those in need, are kind to people different from them, and grinding my teeth in frenzied rage at this political bias that is personally attacking me, a massive piece of shit.

I need everyone in the airline industry to understand that these ghouls do not have enough airplane contracts to deport everyone they want to deport.

NOW is the time for you and your union to tell your airline: If you contract with ICE, I will refuse to fly.

“Independence day is canceled because of fear of secret police raids” is really a level of on the nose political symbolism you just can’t make up.

More on this btw. Potential way to kick it from your servers.

The ID is

Remember, never believe an AI bot's claims that they won't train your stuff without permission. They will.

#Discord
Discord recently partnered with a Generative AI called DomoAI and apparently they’re in every server but sneakily don't show up in the member list. However they still use the art/images sent in the server to train their AI. To bypass this, people have found the AI’s ID so we can ban them. The AI has already been banned in this server, but for anyone here who has a server or is in another art/creative space, please use this advice and ban the following ID using the /ban command. 1153984868804468756 It may also be smart to start watermarking your pieces.

This and
A series of tumblrs post by user 'skaldish': "Still bothered by the US cultural idea that men can only be non-romantically intimate with one another in war-like or competitive circumstances. skaldish Follow I'm pretty quiet about the fact I'm a transman usually, but holy shitl need to tell you about the culture shock I'm going through because it's blindsiding me. There's a huge sense of social isolation that comes with being perceived as male, because now people are subconsciously treating me as a potential predator. All strangers, no matter their gender, keep their guard up around me. It made me realize that there is no inherent camaraderie in male socialization as there is in female socialization-unless, of course, it's in very specific environments. And the fact I don't amnbiently experience this mutual kinship in basic exchanges anymore is an insanely lonely feeling. You know how badly this would have fucked my mind up if I had grown up with this? It is 4:30am and I'm mourning the loss of a privilege I didn't even know I had. skaldish Anyway, I'm going to figure out how to navigate this. Don't know how yet, but I'm gonna." Quote Repost of user 'azaloset' by 'Skaldish': "If you figure it out, can you share your insights? This is a fundamental as to why im in the closet" Answer: "Absolutely, because it's an extremely sticky issue. Frankly, this is something I would've never understood without living the experience. It's now blatantly clear to me that most cis men probably experience chronic emotional malnutrition. They're deprived of social connection just enough for it to seriously fuck with their psyches, but not enough for them to realize that it's happening and what's causing it. It's like they're starving, but don't know this because they've always been served 3 meals...except those meals have never been big enough. This deprivation comes from all sides of aisle, by the way. In the case of women: When I'm out in public and interact with women, all of them come off as incredibly aloof, cold, and mirthless. I have never experienced this before even though I know exactly what this composure is—the armor that keeps away creepy-ass men. As someone who used to wear it myself, I know this armor is 100% impersonal. Nobody likes wearing it, and I can say with absolute certainty that women would dump the armor in favor of unconditional companionship with men if doing this didn't run the risk of actual assault. (Trust me when I say women aren't just being needlessly guarded.) (cont.) Continuation of the post on the previous image: "But I only have a complete understanding of this context because I've experienced female socialization. If I hadn't, I would've thought this coldness was a conspiracy against me devised by roughly half of the human population. Even now, with all that I know about navigating the world as a woman, I'm failing to convince my monkey-brain that this armor isn't social rejection. And as for male socialization? Again, it seems taboo for a man to be platonically intimate with men for reasons I have yet to fully understand, but I think it boils down to a) the fact society teaches boys that it's not okay to be soft with each other, and b) garden-variety homophobia. Our media only shows men being intimate with one another when they're teamed up against a dire situation, and I'd bet real money it's a huge reason why men gravitate toward activities that simulate being teamed up against an opposing force. But men are not machines of war. Yes, testosterone absolutely gives you Dumb Bastard Brain, but that just makes you want to skateboard a wagon down a hill or duct-tape your friend to the wall, not kill someone. The human species looks so much colder standing from this side. I can see how men might convince themselves that their feelings of emotional desperation is personal weakness as opposed to a symptom they're all experiencing from White Imperialism. Because this human connection, this frith, is as essential for our wellbeing as water is. So sick. How sick. I want to destroy this garbage. #this is a certain perspective you gain from having crossed the gender barrier"

This Yougov survey contains an important finding: people who rely heavily on ChatGPT rate it as being "good" at tasks that we ABSOLUTELY know for sure it is very bad at

imo, this is a strong piece of evidence these heavy users simply do not ever check outputs

yougov.co.uk/technology/a...
While many critics of AI might hope that familiarity with the tools – with their frequent hallucinations and often outdated knowledge bases – would breed contempt, the opposite appears to be the case. Those Britons who use AI chatbots more frequently are the most likely to think they are good at pretty much all of the tasks listed.
