Hey @discord.com , all of this. My nitro sub is also cancelled.
Hey @discord.com , since apparently the support email on your website doesn't work, I guess I'll just tell you here:

Teenage by default is a lazy way to solve a fake problem. My nitro sub is cancelled until you decide on something else. My full thoughts are in the email I tried to send you, see pic

"Ethical AI" does not exist. There is no reality where you can have generative AI that's "ethically trained". There are ZERO AI models trained ethically, and there will never be any.

The term has been made up by people who want a pass on using AI. You don't get that pass, slop peddlers.

Pay attention to this. Do not let up on the pressure, demand accountability and change until the root cause has been resolved. Anything short of that means failure.
The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

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."

“A Christmas Story”, a 1983 movie based on a 1971 memoir about a childhood in the 1930s: “This is my brother Ralphie. He has a ton of sensory issues and behaviors we don’t understand. Every family has a child like him.”

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

I honestly don’t know if this is 1:1 applicable, but I think it’s relevant that the Luddites didn’t “smash the machines” because they were being replaced, or they feared the machines.

They did it because the machines let the companies make WAY more money, yet the Luddites’ wages weren’t increasing.

I'd maybe be excited for a Naughty Dog space game if they wouldn't abuse their employees to make it.
'Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet' is reportedly slated to release mid-2027

• Naughty Dog has enacted mandatory overtime for staff to get back on track after missing internal deadlines

• Some employees are worried demands could worsen next year if crunch is already happening now

Larian’s usage of genAI is by no means close to the worst I’ve heard of (not a defense-just saying) but if companies can learn one thing from this backlash, I hope it’s that nobody wants this and you will actually EARN goodwill (with gamers AND creatives) by outright banning genAI usage.

Look, we're not sure if adding asbestos to our product is useful or helpful or something our customers are even interested in, but it's a competitive industry and we have to be willing to adopt asbestos rather than be left behind.
We want to assure our audience and our fans that we only use asbestos in our production flow ethically.

We understand there are a lot of concerns about asbestos, but we only use asbestos in small portions and only in places you can't see it.

We promise to expose you to asbestos responsibly.

If OpenAI has million number of haters I am one of them. If OpenAI has ten haters I am one of them. If OpenAI has one hater, that is me. If OpenAI has no haters, that means I am no more on the earth. If world is for OpenAI, I am against the world. I hate OpenAI till my last breath.

Ah so it's even worse than we thought. Neat.
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...)
