If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is.

It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.
The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

Except, NFTs also did those things. The AI grift is just an extension of the NFT grift.

A quick lookup will give you all the information you could want regarding its environmental effects and power usage. It was the biggest arguement against it 5 years ago.

NFTs: The hot new fad with a massive environmental cost
Authenticated digital art is skyrocketing. But few are aware that NFTs use 10 times more energy than other crypto transactions — a shocking waste of resources.

I remember when people said NFTs were here to stay. I remember when Meta said they were determined to manifest the Metaverse.

Atlas cannot shoulder this crumbling empire and those that obey in advance are only deluding themselves.

"AI is here to stay whether you like it or not"

Yes, and I dont like it. Just because something exists doesnt mean I owe it my time.

I can hate it existing as much as I hate rent, subscriptions and forced windows updates to name a few.

Theft exists, would you allow it in your own home?

AI; Generative or not has no place in the creative field.

I will take the extreme stance on this. Yes, I also mean the content aware fill and healing brush. Since we gave them an inch they'll take the mile so I will no longer give them anything.

"Oh but it's a tool!"

You're a tool.

NEW: For the last seven weeks, Naughty Dog has enacted mandatory overtime for staff to finish an internal demo of their next game, Intergalactic. The game won't be out until 2027, leaving some staff wondering: If they're crunching now, what will next year be like? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Dispatch is coming to Switch 1 and Switch 2 on January 29. No news about an Xbox version, and it's also worth mentioning that the game is on Steam.

So seeing a company back pedal, even if they wanted to go AI road like tons does, it's nice. But remember it's a company so ..... 🫠

But those who worked on the animation did great and I will always respect them <3

And I can tell you that companies in general (well nothing new) don't care about us.

Thankful to have a good friend who work on a big one and when asked about AI the reply was straight:

"But who gives a fuck about randoms complaining online?
like, huh?!"

They don't care, REALLY don't care at all.

So they understood they made a big mistake and turned back on AI, "yay".

If you want to read in english. Hope they keep it that way.
I guess backlash went on them mostly and they want to save their butt, but coming from a company, it's rare, so.
