A tiny snippet of user-generated text as short as 13 words long is often enough to manipulate the AI agents that power tools like ChatGPT and Google’s AI search, new research shows. www.404media.co/it-is-trivia...

It Is Trivially Easy to Use Reddit to Manipulate AI Search, Research Suggests
"We show that a tiny snippet—just 13 words—of retrieved text on a UGC website like Reddit, Wikipedia, Quora, or Facebook can change AI agents to output spam / scam content pretty consistently."

Doctors 25% more likely to miss a diagnosis on a patient within 3 months after Ai is implemented. The results indicate Ai has an immediate negative effect on professionals skillsets vs prolonged reliance. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Is AI ruining our skills? Early results are in — and they’re not good
Reliance on artificial-intelligence tools degrades the abilities of physicians and software engineers, studies show.

Okay. An important moment for us, if you’ll indulge me with a repost. It’s time to start the very first whisper of noise about our next game. It’s a mailing list! But it’s a mailing list that I’m hoping will be a bit different than what you’re used to. mailchi.mp/bithellgames...

this feels like the crux of things, and I don't see it highlighted enough: being creative is fun! i want a machine that does my laundry so i can focus more on making art, not the other way around!!

All the developers 404 Media talked to were excited to try using LLMs at work at first, or were at least curious about them. Their feelings about the tools, based on their personal experience, are now overwhelmingly negative. AI is rotting their brains www.404media.co/software-dev...

One of the (many, many) things I resent about "AI" is the implication that videogames are wanting for some kind of technological revolution Artistically, videogames are doing so well imo. What game devs actually need is: affordable rent, stable employment, free education, etc.

Not everything that breaks is technically the fault of vibe coding but the kind of culture that would foster vibe coding is the kind that produces a lot of shit that breaks.

Using AI for your art references not only gives you a skewed & inaccurate view of the world, it also puts resource providers like myself & all these awesome people out of work! Using REAL photo references is what levels up your art AND supports the stock/resource community! ❤️💪
