Enduring reality of having a child is the number of times they utterly stack it and get a terrifying gory head wound that then wipes off because it's just random dirt they gathered earlier

The devs who say they need to use genai to code a little faster should know they are helping to normalise tools that physically harm others. There is so many costs many will just not think about but it’s there and why I’m not going to suport your games if your using it.

There was definitely a looooong period where straight up bullying was acceptable from big left/lib accounts on there and those people learned to lean on performances of expertise more strongly after that stopped being so celebrated. I feel like I want to be less respectful of that rebrand

I feel like I've given the big anti-AI blogger enough good faith and shared enough of his articles but ultimately remember him as a gratuitous Twitter bully who is still using dubious means to leverage himself as authoritative on ways that he categorically cannot be and who needs you really.

I don't update my website very often, because loads of work gets stuck in the unpublished pipeline, and also because I find it depressing to look at it all. However I now removed much old and added some new: #art #artsky #portfolio #hello lukeoram.com

More of you should be playing this. It does one of my favourite things in games - telling a very un-videogamey story through the medium and language of videogames. Other examples I could give are Transistor and Iconoclasts.

One of the things rarely dealt with by AI nerds is the fact that if LLMs were alive and sentient in some way the type of cognition they might represent is so intractably alien to our own as to be unrecognisable. They encode experiences that sound human-like and yet have no human experience.

The latest discourse in the morality of "abusing" LLMs funny in that the mooted abuse is refusing to anthropomorphise it; implicitly that everyone is obligated to anthropomorphise it; implicitly that everyone has a moral duty to use and presumably pay for these products

I, too, love to purchase companies older than most nations, with names that are known to multiple generations of people all over the world, and then get rid of the names and replace them with the name of a thing nobody gives a shit about.

Calling your game something about Sinking Stars when your name is Blow is just setting yourself up, PR-wise. Should be able to see that one coming.

I gave Braid an A+ back in my press days. I spent 100s of hours working on The Witness at PlayStation, fighting for it, getting it into conferences, and being Jon's personal wrangler. I even coined "Metroidbrainia" after it. I will not be buying Order of the Sinking Star, and neither should you.

Before we moved, when we were scoping out the neighbourhood, we witnessed a van collide with a teenage girl. The driver was going through the crossing while craning his neck in the other direction. I didn't realise that that's just how people move, here.
