When a big media company uses genai slop instead of human made art, it is not just taking a job away from one artist to make that thing but *multiple* artists involved in all the things.
The entire artist-hiring pipeline gets destroyed in favor of chugging from the hot dogshit pipeline.

"realism" in game mechanics isn't always better, but sometimes giving the player somewhat realistic consequences for the choices they make is actually the best and most fun way of motivating the player to engage with a mechanic!

Trying to explain Oregon to people is hard. Portlandia gave people IDEAS about the place, but the reality is somehow more insane.

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.*

We are all, at best, temporarily abled.
Yall real silent about disability injustices because most of you don’t see disability as a thing that can happen to you.
We are “aww those poor people”. Meanwhile disability can happen to anyone at any moment and those injustices you ignored? They become your experiences too

And one other thing: we’re being told that AI is the only way to make games cheaper and faster, to pull us from this precipice of production nightmares the industry has found itself in. That it’s necessary.
We put out roughly 3 motherfucking games a year, not touching the stuff.
Skill issue.

The people who will most profit from this quality and connection-sapping technology being assumed to be inevitable, want you to give up on pushing against it today, by believing that fight is already over.
Don’t give in.
Don’t be fooled.

US politics is just a constant slide where the Republicans we were worried about somehow wind up the voice of reason compared to the rest of the next wave of newer Republicans in charge of the party and country, and this has repeated every several years back-to-back for as long as I've been alive

My government approved (for now) takeaway from this is that COVID is still a huge fucking problem and you should mask the fuck up.
"The leading cause of death by far among ICE officers is COVID-19." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
How dangerous is it really to work for ICE?
According to ICE’s own data, none of its officers have been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s history.
