Turvallisuuspuhe ei ole uskottavaa, kun samaan aikaan demokratian perustuksista ja sitä kautta kansallisesta turvallisuudesta ollaan tällä tavalla valmiita tinkimään kustannussyistä.
Suomen vaalidata siirtyy Amazonin pilveen – USA:n vaalivilppiepäilyjä tutkinut asiantuntija varoittaa riskeistä
Ensimmäistä kertaa vaaleissa ehdokas- ja äänestäjätiedot sekä tuloslaskenta siirtyvät Suomen rajojen ulkopuolelle. Tutkija ei käyttäisi pilvipalvelua kansallisen turvallisuuden asioissa.

It's here! 👀 The PEGASUS research project is ending soon, so we made a small publication outlining our research and developed tools. Illustrations are by the amazing Tuuli Hypén.

This will be available tomorrow at the Game Culture Strategy day, and online as a PDF a little bit later.
A Finnish and an English version of Pegasus-project's publication next to each other. The cover has a group of people talking together around a table, with game-related items around them.

Never forget the core thing funding the sheer scale of the spending spree of AI investments is primarily due to the turborich wanting to solve the “problem” of having to pay wages.

Now's the time to call up Visa/MC to ask 'hey, how come you guys will pay for ChatGPT and Twitter subs but I can't buy certain games off of Steam?' Because I frankly would LOVE an answer to that...

Sarjispajassa kysyttiin voiko tekoälyltä kysyä neuvoa, jos ei heti keksi ideaa.

Sanoin, että meitä ehdollistetaan kärsimättömyyteen. Eihän ideoita kuulukaan keksiä heti!

"Idealihakset" kehittyvät ja ideat kypsyvät ajan kanssa. Ideointia voi treenata harjoitteilla. Mitä sitten tehtiinkin.

It never ceases to amaze me how after years of digital media, we're still talking about "screen time", conflating a huge range of phenomena into a single, clumsy variable. In my view, the rough equivalent is discussing food and nutrition only using calories - or "eating time".

it’s always a lovely day when people realize weirdos are the backbone of any fandom and trying to make everyone “normal” kills everything enjoyable about it. fandom wouldn’t exist if people could be normal about things.

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others.

Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla:

“People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.”

First impression of Silent Hill f: I want a photo mode similar to Ghostwire. And a toggle to turn off all that pesky fog to appreciate all the gorgeous details.

Oh, and the battle clunkiness is so nostalgic. 🥲

Kaikki pelit ovat mukana, vaikka kuvitus ja osittain strategiaan liittyvä keskustelukin on toistaiseksi ollut digipelikeskeistä. Digipelit ovat kärki, jolla on tarkoitus avata keskustelua ja saada laajemmin huomiota monipuoliselle pelikulttuurille.

Jos Suomen pelikulttuurin edistäminen nykyistä parempaan suuntaan kiinnostaa, tule kuulolle!

Ollaan puuhasteltu tämän parissa jo jokin aikaa. Ihan hurjan hyviä asiantuntijoita tulossa puhumaan oman alansa näkökulmista. 👇
