If you're switching off Firefox because of the AI shit, going to "Chromium but it's ran by a crypto compatible org whose CEO is a homophobe" is REALLY not the move, folks.

So since EVERY game studio is using GenAI we gonna see those game prices cut in half right? Oh all while the scope of the game is doubled and you put them out three times as fast? Right? Revolutionary technology! Right? Wait... Where are you going?

Contrary to what AI apologists are saying, the additional context here renders Vincke's comments, uh, even worse.
By his own admission GenAI doesn't work, so what are we doing here? Don't let FOMO fool you into thinking we couldn't come up with ideas until the plagiarism machine came along.

If I had known the two paragraphs about genAI in my article today would be so controversial, I would have expanded them a bit! Here's a rough transcript of the relevant portion of my interview with Swen Vincke, so everyone has all the context. (Full article here: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...)

It hasn’t even been a month since a game whose studio quietly used AI slop won a bunch of awards to cheers and applause and already Larian felt bold enough to admit to its use.
I’m glad they’re being pilloried (still kinda wish E33 also got pilloried for the same), but yeah…it happened as predicted

I know many things are awful but here is one genuinely useful and helpful thing you can do. No matter their party, your representative needs to hear that trans people and our families are not alone and this bill is an unjustifiable and extreme threat to criminalize the health care we need to live.
Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison.
Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.

"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

When 97% is 'no clear consensus', and 52% is 'the will of the people', it's time to face facts that Governments do what Governments want to do regardless of what their people actually want.

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.

I cannot stress enough that most ppl don't ever even think about calling their reps. I talk to ppl in my fam about it and they go "Huh? What?". But your reps work for YOU. They need to know what you actually care about. When we call in big numbers it ALERTS them, cuz they rarely hear from us.
Hey romancelandia and fandom peeps! If you live in the U.S. right now you should know that KOSA (along with a slew of censorship bills) are advancing through congress right now. If you care about spicy books and/or fanfiction you should contact your reps right now and tell them to vote NO on KOSA!
