"Tutored" What are we doing here?? This is why we need a vibrant, empowered press. The only thing I can liken this to was Ubisoft requesting a meeting with me to have an E3 convo with a non-forward facing financial exec during the Vivendi hostile takeover attempt.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

✍🏾 MY LATEST: I wrote about the moral panic Republicans manufactured about trans girls in sports. I decided to turn all my yelling on social media about trans girls in sports into a column.
rewirenewsgroup.com
The Panic Over Trans Athletes is Fake: Opinion
Republicans have manufactured a crisis in women’s sports, just in time for the midterm elections. Democrats should find the courage to defend trans children—or at the very least, leave them alone.

I loved my time at Mashable more than I didn't but I'll never forgive Ziff Davis for creating an environment that eventually required me to write about why I'd want to have a beer with fucking Chris Pratt.

The sad truth is that a lot of people who joined post-internet newsrooms to pursue work as a journalist or critic were instead conscripted into shitty, take-driven op-ed writing dictated by trends and search behavior.

Why “ruling class?” Because they certainly aren’t leaders. And they certainly aren’t a brain trust. And even those that WERE developers are so far removed from what real work in this industry looks like. They stumble through their days ruining lives while living fat on the work of real labor.

Video Games are responsible for 50K globally. Not all AI-related. A big chunk are due to the worst “strategy” I’ve ever seen from an industry’s ruling class.

Astonishing really how ADHD-denialism so closely matches early trans-denialism (say, a decade ago, before it went mask-off eliminationist), to the point that it includes the exact same personalities, again vomiting their know-nothing opinions all over the place.

Canadians are usually very quiet about our contributions to the world, which means that folks tend to underestimate us. This is the time to be LOUD and be proud of our accomplishments, both collectively and individually. Canada has created some of the greatest art of our time, esp. in games. <3

There are a lot of eyes on Donald Trump's threats to Canadian sovereignty right now — and rightfully so. But our own politicians are also articulating a new vision for Canada. And The Narwhal is keeping tabs on what it means for the natural places we cherish — places like Lake *Ontario*. 🧵

I also really love this infographic we did. The magazine archive is a collaborative effort. We've scanned thousands of magazines, but we're also relying on years of scanning work by the community and partnerships with the industry. It takes a village!
30% of our magazines were provided by Retromags. 33.4% were scanned by the Video Game History Foundation. Magazine publishers and staff provided another 10.8%. In declining order, other contributor groups are "Various Internet Archive users," CGW Museum, Out-of-Print Archive, and other community groups.

That's cool. I'm sure all the BitReactor devs that were furloughed weeks before launch are gonna see some of that $50 million... right? Residuals are standard in other creative industries. If the people who actually made the game got their share of the profits, we wouldn't be in this mess.
