Glad to see Polygon cover the resistance of game developers to generative AI--and to be able to speak briefly to one of the greatest dangers of this entire thing.
Gen AI doubles down on making MORE SPACE for production issues that *already make games worse.*

As many of you know, a handful of Dem Sens have voted on a CR that keeps the government funded until Jan 30, which would end the shutdown. For those watching for anti-trans provisions, there are none in the CR.
Senate Vets-MilCon, Leg, Ag minibus bills for FY26 have no riders.

Dems have spent the past two months saying they're fighting to address the crisis of spiking healthcare costs and now they're caving for a deal that does nothing to address healthcare costs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Like every other comic artist I know, I rely on ACA benefits to afford healthcare. Despite the healthcare I have now still not being enough (I haven't been able to afford a spine surgery I need to return to my usual standard of living) I will be extremely screwed if I have no insurance at all.
The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

As much as I love seeing this shit show, and mocking it vocally, I would like to point out that SOME of what people are mocking, is, in fact, "the" AI work flow, not just idiots being idiots. Why make this distinction? Mostly so people can be aware of what AI can do and thus better respond to it. 🧵
The studio that made the shitty coca-cola AI ad getting their teeth kicked in on socials bc of how icky bad it is, then the studio CEO coming out insulting and dismissing folks kicking their teeth in, and THEN releasing the worst ever cover up “hey we actually made this by hand” scam vid

I'm hearing these SNAP benefit updates:
-100% Washington state
-100% Michigan
-100% California
-Partial Illinois
-Partial North Carolina
-1/2 Vermont
(Note that not everyone in these states received money today because their typical day of the month for benefits may not have passed yet)

If you're wondering how this will go Square Enix handed off their mobile Octopath game to NetEase who immediately started using ChatGPT to translate everything resulting in text like this. When players complained they started asking fans to fix their translations in exchange for in-game currency

This fall has been an extra slow one for small businesses out here, and the tea house is $3.7k shy of where we need to be to make rent before late fees hit this month.
All this to say, if you have some tea shopping to do or friends to point our way today, we'd sure appreciate it!

Anyone who disrespects QA should get out of the industry, tbh. QA is so much more than finding bugs or typos, it's your first exposure to consumer feedback. It's a crucial part of developing the user experience.
Without human QA, you don't deserve human players.

Zohran Mamdani wins!
He ran on an unabashedly pro-transgender platform, stood up for the most vulnerable, as so many have pushed for the Democratic Party to abandon trans people in order to win.
Major win for trans New Yorkers - he has vowed for intense resistance to anti-trans Trump policies.
