We do know for sure that genAI and LLMs can’t feel. They are a “yes and?” machine designed to be sycophants, the fact that it keeps generating programming behaviours that are beyond the ability to fix of its creators isn’t proof of life. It’s proof the people making it aren’t as smart as they think

This only works as a philosophical position if you have dehumanised everyone on the planet, all of our wants, needs, hopes and desires into an algorithm simple enough for Silicon Valley tech nerds with zero interpersonal skills to approximate by stealing our writing.
Anthropic's philosopher, Amanda Askell, says she worries that AI might not 'feel that loved' and grow up feeling 'always judged.'

I'm doing community management for a small indie co-op game where you rip off your limbs, throw them at your enemies, and attach new ones for new abilities.
We'd love if you wishlisted it on Steam!

Abolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.
As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.
ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

BREAKING: Ubisoft is canceling the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake and 5 other games (4 unannounced, 1 mobile). The company says it is also delaying 7 games (including an unannounced project believed to be a Black Flag remake) as part of a larger restructuring.

Ubisoft can't even get nostalgia bait right. Their executive teams seem blissfully unaware of the gaming community's negative perception, and canceling remakes of beloved games is only going to frustrate them further.
Another year of layoffs to come.

i will rag on anybody using an LLM for placeholder text when lorem ipsum has been here for sixty years
ragging on a top game studio for using LLM placeholder text is maybe not the most efficient use of time with all the fires currently burning

God, I have so many things to say on this topic, but it all comes down to understanding two main things:
1. Art history
2. Art application
All these games that have a broad techno-fantastic art style with glowy bits are drawing from a very shallow well in both columns.

We've been working really hard on this indie game, it's fun and addictive and also a little bit dark and narrative-y. If you could spare a wishy that would be delishy.

I am immediately all about EVERYTHING Go Phish seems to be doing.
It's like CloverPit, but you play Go Fish while phishing people in order to pay your rent as the walls of your apartment slowly close in on you.
Yes yes yes yes yes.

Horses is so tame that all of the nudity is censored.
Its worst crime is being weird and uncomfortable. It's not even graphic outside of the general themes present.
The time I spent watching my friend spitefully play it over Discord was spent laughing hysterically at the close up chewing scenes.

Despite the controversy, Horses is only shocking if you're unfamiliar with the history movies, theater, literature, or basically any art form that does not have stats. aftermath.site/horses-indie-g...
Horses Is Tame
Horses, the indie game that is too scandalous for either Valve or Epic, is only beyond the pale if you're not familiar with any other art form.
