sort of incredible to read a review that doesn't just made a vague nod at AI being bad, but actively reckons with the ways in which falling obsessively to AI usage actively obliterates the artistic intent and integrity of the work you've made.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

We have to keep shoveling all money, labor, water, and the environment into this mulcher so it will one day attain sentience and solve climate change, the first of which is impossible and the latter is a problem we have known the cause of and solution to for over a hundred years
is it better for countries to invest in boring things like transport and energy infrastructure or should they invest all their money in useless chatbots that talk in reddit-voice on the vague and completely unsubstantiated hope that they'll be able to do something profitable one day

Rule of thumb for when you're having fun nerd times thinking about ancient warfare: whenever the question pops up of 'why didn't they just', the answer will almost invariably boil down to 'because logistics'.

This vote has not happened yet. Call your Senators, especially your Democratic Senators, and tell them that a deal without protection NOW for health insurance tax credits is unacceptable.

FISH³ is an indirect reflection of my path, as a person, and as a dev.
It's described as "overwhelming" "idk whats happening but I'm enjoying it" "multitasking" "fish".
While most use writing to deliver a message, I choose to use gameplay and visuals.
If it makes you feel the way I did, I succeeded.

Heads up for folx playing Arc Raiders: Embark has openly stated (in an interview with GamesRadar+), that the game uses the same AI voice tech as The Finals, and the CEO has talked about using AI to generate 3D models from YouTube rips.
If you're anti-AI you should not be playing Arc Raiders!

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

Democrats are considering a Republican deal to reopen government with a promise of a later vote on extending health-care tax credits—but no guarantee.
One Democrat says it'd amount to "unconditional surrender that abandons the 24 million Americans whose health care premiums are about to double."

Its so odd seeing people who are against GENai turn heel and say "But it's okay in this case because its done consensually"
As if 1. It doesnt normalize this exploitive tactic further
2. You can trust them to not use LLM coding and GENai for other aspects of their development
Like? Think please!?

Update: Between Tidal and Apple Music, I went with Apple for a few reasons:
- Tidal can't load local tracks
- Tidal can't download playlists to my desktop
- Tidal was missing some of my fav tracks
Tidal had the better UX! Once those things are fixed or added, I'll consider going back.

After 10+ years I've cancelled my Spotify sub for many reasons. Among them they have one of the lowest payouts in the streaming industry (and the CEO invested in AI military drones, instead of the arts.)
