Hello, new followers! I am primarily a game music composer even though you might not know it looking at what I normally skeet. You're in for /a lot/ of very, very leftist politics, despair at how the game industry is destroying itself, and a ton of vitriol toward genAI. Welcome! 🌻

I wish I was surprised.
I am extremely disappointed, yes. But unfortunately not surprised.

This is a nuts story. An AI chatbot and image platform left millions of images exposed. They show what people are actually using the AI for: taking random women's yearbook, graduation, and social media photos and making super realistic hardcore porn with them

The people who were screaming about kids being groomed by trans people are now justifying people on their side doing it, literally going "oh but 15 isn't exactly /young/, is it"
What will it fucking take for those who watch these garbage piles to wake up

Här om dagen skrev en vän att han tyckte att vi varit lite otrevliga som "dömt" en av hans vänner för att han röstat på Moderaterna.
Detta fick mig att tänka på hur vi ser på folk och deras åsikter. Följ med i mitt resonemang! 1/6

we don't just need to be funding small studios to make one game, we need to be funding them to make the ones they can fuck up before they can make the ones they learn from.
The winner takes all-instant hit-meme-flywheel mentality that has completely overtaken the games industry and even #indiedev is poison.
It deteriorates the space for risk and sustainable growth, until all that's left is to to either make slot-machines or slop-machines.

Apropos of nothing, but, like, it's not exactly weird how already rich and well-connected people keep failing upwards and having platforms to spread their shit while simultaneously complaining about being canceled and deplatformed

Could not have said it better
This is bullshit.
"absolutely no genAI in games" is the middle ground.
"how many years in jail should Sam Altman get for knowingly stealing all data ever" is the somewhat more extreme stance I personally adopt.

"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

This. To banish the scourge of genAI, we need to respect, hire, and uplift artists MORE. Real art, made by real people, must be made important again. It is not a Product made for Profit, tossed into the Content Machine. It is Art.
Remember if you truly despise GenAI and its outputs you need to put a lot more time celebrating and lifting all the artists not using it and trying there best and learning. Share their art like that art and just talk about the stuff you like and enjoy. Don’t let the anger of GenAi stop that.

Look, I love FFXII to death. It's a wonderful game, a gem, and severely underrated.
It also has some of the dumbest and most obscure conditions in order to 100% it, holy shit."Only after killing a certain boss, go to this very high level area, and talk to a specific pillar to reveal a merchant" ???

Ubisoft and Treyarch resorting to regurgitative AI in their big $70 “AAA” games is simply pathetic.
The lack of integrity, the lack of dignity, the lack of pride. Sure, it’s all expected, but nonetheless miserably *pathetic* to witness.
Have some fucking self respect for once.

The Republican habit of constantly shifting goalposts, jumping to new arguments when the old ones didn't work, and justifying shit they condemned last year makes a lot more sense when you remember that they enjoy hurting others and only care about themselves
