There is no independently verifiable, publicly released evidence showing that the agent suffered the injuries being claimed. U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials have stated that the ICE agent, Jonathan Ross, “suffered internal bleeding to the torso”

They were given the opportunity to get rid of it entirely, to stop implementing its use but instead did not even the bare minimum. Keep on them about this. This response is placating at best. There is no acceptable use of Generative AI
Larian CEO says Divinity could have gen AI assets in it but only if the tools are trained on the studio's own data.
"If we use a GenAI model to create in-game assets, then it'll be trained on data we own."

This Nazi "predicted" what he was building. Destroy Oracle.
George Orwell’s 1984 warned of a future where Big Brother watches every move. Tech is making that vision a reality, & Oracle founder Larry #Ellison—the world’s second-richest person—sees a growing opp for his co to help authorities analyze real-time data from millions of surveillance cameras.
Larry Ellison predicts rise of the modern surveillance state where ‘citizens will be on their best behavior’
Oracle's Larry Ellison believes citizens and police alike will be under constant surveillance of each other.

Say it with me now- placeholder assets are supposed to be bright and obvious so you DON’T ship with them.
Also it doesn’t matter if no ai-generated assets are in the final executable?? The rising sea levels aren’t gonna be like “oh well no one saw that so the climate change doesn’t count”

If you use generative ai, I'm stealing your product, I'm torrenting your game, I'm not giving a cent of money to people who willingly use it. I'll save that money for artists, not con men.

"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

So the guy himself is saying they arent really even seeing productivity gains? He said they are just using AI because they are afraid of being left behind. He is inviting this public scorn by repeating techbro talking points for no benefit at all. The mind of a CEO is fascinating.
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...)
