I dream of getting to a point in life where things can just be chill. I can have a simpler job, house is paid off, and I can just live a simpler life

What do people do for dinner? I’m so brain dead and tired by the time I’m done with work that I have zero interest in cooking. I used to be a lot better at making time for it, but that was when I had a lot less responsibilities. I’m just constantly ordering from DoorDash, which isn’t great.

Seriously, read this statement they launched on day one of the administration and see how long you can make it before you feel like you're going insane.

In my experience, content has never been the slowdown for making a game. It's lack of clarity/direction, changing minds, and outside stakeholder influence introducing trash. I fail to see how AI is going to solve that problem.
At Gamescom, one sentiment remained consistent: We need to make games quicker. And to do that, more and more studios are turning to AI.

Man, I know my outreach here is limited but I just got laid off at 2K after working on BioShock 4 for a year and a half. To say I'm gutted is a complete understatement.
If anyone is in need of a friendly, fast and heavily driven animator with a lot of games experience please do let me know :)

Read it and excellent analysis. We've basically had a product foisted on us that might be good enough for a few things while being truly damaging to our cognitive abilities and the environment. And we're being rushed into it by a few companies without the slightest thought of the consequences.

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it
