This kind of thing is annoying sure, but it also reveals the hellish gamble every AI evangelist is forcing us to make; Demanding we accept a hellish and worsening present in exchange for a fantastical and impossible sci-fi future.
Being anti-AI rather than anti-oligarch is one of the most shortsighted things leftists could do, ensuring they remain whiners and cumguzzlers while braver people define reality.
Ceding our science fiction future to capitalists is fucking moronic. It's the only future we have.

i think tech and ai positive people are going to be in for a big shock when anti tech and anti ai sentiment becomes a major part of leftwing politics going forward especially as datacenters continue to destroy communities and raise electricity bills

I once saw an adult game get nuked because the main character's boobs were too small, causing an anonymous Valve employee to flag the game for having characters that are "too childlike"
Is that the real reason?? That's the fun of manual reviews by people with unknowable beefs with your art form 😃

"i would have simply made a work that didn't trigger the invisible hand of an anonymous valve employee with a highly specific unknowable beef"
"and if i did, i would throw away that project and start anew, confident somehow that this new project would not suffer the same fate"

And there it is. Outright denial of the genocide’s existence. Zionists cannot admit that the genocide is real because that would mean admitting to themselves that they’re complicit in it.
The way you insist you don’t have antipathy for Jews by hiding behind a hatred of Israelis.
Is the genocide in the room with you right now?
Make sure you quote post this so your little friends can join in and make you feel less alone.

theres a secret third option here which is having like bare minimum knowledge about how these things work and knowing that they have inherent design flaws that cannot be fixed and severely limits any real use this thing could possibly have that could justify its frankly demonic energy demands
There are basically only two positions in the debate about AI.
1. I’ve barely invested any time in learning how to use it effectively. AI sucks.
2. I’ve invested in learning how to use this tool. Holy cow, it’s transformational.
Position #1 has lower barriers to entry.

I also think folks need to realize that "Tech Bro" isn't a "Bro in Tech" but a "Capitalist who knows nothing about tech, treats it as a new religion, and thinks it will make him a relatable God King."

It really is incredible how the Switch is perhaps the greatest video game console for its huge physical collection, and immediately followed that up by one of the worst with the Switch 2.
None of us working in the physical game space anticipated this.

This was an inevitable consequence of tourists glamourizing piracy as some sort of low effort counter culture instead of an under the table loophole.
The first rule of piracy is "shut the fuck up about piracy".
Do you think innuendo and euphemisms are used to be cute?
Fuck you.

One of the many reasons why I can't take Druckman seriously is that "you kill a dog and then have a perspective flip back in time of the bad guy playing with their beloved pet" was something me and my friends came up with during a drunken "make the most pretentious game" convo in 2013.
