People are this mad about it because that was a blow to a sensitive wound we’re all feeling - where the art we’re seeing can’t be trusted, where the voices we hear might not be human, where the stories we experience might come from somewhere entirely hollow.
It was a tipping point for a lot of us.

I don’t think Larian understood that when they casually talk about their use of genAI it wasn’t spoken into a board room or a zoom call full of people thinking about numbers, it was to a host of fans who looked to them as an example of humanity and art persisting in spite of things like that.

I think the greatest movie that we'll never get to see is: shadowy black ops agents repeatedly attempting to murder Clark Kent, because he's breaking a huge story about tech-adjacent, governmental corruption, and repeatedly (ludicrously) failing, because they have no idea he's Superman

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

- programs barely function
- energy prices
- literal psychosis
- your voice can be literally stolen for evil

but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns.
The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.
