It's also the sort of implication that writing is a boring rote task that we wish we didn't have to spend time on. Writing is the joy! It's the fucking expression! Aaaaargh
Went to the dentist, and explained that I'm writing some dialogue for a game.
"Just get ChatGPT to do it!" she said, cheerily.
I replied "And how would you feel if I brushed my teeth according to ChatGPT's instructions?"
"Um, it would probably be fine? Don't use it for facts"
Christ we're fucked.

It's the anniversary of the kinect, is it? Then it's also the anniversary of me leaving the games industry. Working on a kinect game was like being in an episode of the twilight zone

I was sort of quietly staggered by GK3. I'm a 90s adventure nerd and knew the famous Old Man Murray takedown of GK3 and expected it to be a total pile of crap. Instead it's kind of an insane masterpiece that deserves to be recognised for what it tried to do rather than what it got wrong
For adventure gamers who remember The Old Ways: this is a nice critique of early 2000s gamer snark. Gabriel Knight 3 had some really good bits, and adventure games didn't die - big American publishers just stopped selling them. (The cat moustache puzzle was genuinely bad, though.)
It wasn't Gabriel Knight 3's cat mustache puzzle that killed "adventure games." They never died, even if the industry killed off Sierra On-line. www.endlessmode.com/video-games/...

David and Larry Ellisons’ sloptastic vision for Hollywood is coming into focus:
“Paramount has reportedly signed a $200M+ multiyear deal for Higgsfield AI to use mass-use Popcorn AI model that ingests dailies and script notes, then outputs regional cuts: new leads, alternate jokes, revised endings”

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.

Just had an absolutely amazing, but far too short, visit to the University of York's archive, specifically their new Ray Galton and Alan Simpson collection. Galton and Simpson wrote Hancock's Half Hour, Steptoe & Son, and so much more.

I finally got the Vinegar Syndrome release of THE KEEP because I've wanted to see it for twenty years. Wow, it's so close to brilliance, you can really imagine how good it would be if Mann had final cut and they'd finished the special effects. Still has some stunning imagery and is loads of fun
