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.”

A while back I had a spark of an idea after @jessplayin.bsky.social and I went back and forth about our love of SEGA in our childhoods. I lamented on her Discord about never getting around to making it and was told simply, "Do it!" So I did, and it was fun. I dunno man, I just like making stuff.

Hey, so asking me if I "should be eating that" is already incredibly rude and disrespectful but going so far as to refuse to give me certain foods/drinks or, even worse, *physically taking food or drink away from me* because you feel I shouldn't be consuming it is on another level of shittiness.

I believe theres something that breaks the human spirit when you're constantly told exactly what you want to hear. If you're never told no and treated like God. I think the exact same thing that erodes the humanity of billionaires is becoming the worldwide norm with AI. And I'm scared.

For no reason in particular I'd like to take a moment to remind everyone that you're able to ignore entire publishers/developers on Steam so that you never see their games again. I went and picked a publisher completely at random to take this screenshot to demonstrate where to find this option

A screenshot of the Saber Interactive homepage on Steam with an arrow pointing to where one can find the ability to ignore a publisher/developer on Steam entirely so as to never see their games on Steam again. The arrow is pointing to a dropdown menu found by clicking the "Options" gear icon in the lower-right corner of the homepage's header, directly below the company banner. Highlighted within a red box being pointed to by the arrow is an option labeled "Ignore this creator" which, when clicked, completely ignore the publisher or developer in question. In this case it would completely ignore Saber Interactive's published games across all of Twitch.

Your bad art is better than AI slop.

four frame comic. first frame shows a typical AI poster that says : All chatgpt flyers look the same, especially with this font! the text above it reads : I won't go to your event if the poster was made by AI. second frame shows a still frame from a Hank Green youtube video. text above reads : I won't read your post or email and I won't watch your video if they were made with AI. third frame shows an AI restaurant poster of burgers and chicken in a window. text reads : I won't patronize your shop or restaurant if it is advertised with AI. last frame shows an MS paint window with badly written : Your bad art is better than AI slop. text reads : if you can't take the time or make the effort to interact with me yourself, then why should I do it?

I don’t know how to use chatgpt etc but I imagine it’s going to a website and typing “oh no what groceries do I buy please tell me false god for I am so weak I cannot go on” as your brain atrophies and leaks out of your ears from disuse and the machine is like “buy eggs milk bread and a horse”

At least the AI summary is accurate. Amazing job, Twitch. Truly.

As you can see, Xbox held their presentation on 6/7, while Nintendo is holding theirs on 6/9. This is due to their core company missives; Nintendo holds fast to traditional (and successful!) gamer values, whereas Xbox is a brand that constantly tries to remain relevant by latching onto trends

Could someone out there do me a solid and let Atlus know that the reason Persona 5 has a 5 in it is because there are actually *four* installments (and *five* games!) that came before it, not two? Because it seems like they keep forgetting.

It’ll always amaze me how executives and investors don’t think this is all extremely pathetic. To be as successful as they are and yet fail to keep 1,000 people employed would be evidence of immense failure in an economic system that wasn’t explicitly designed around maintaining a fucking delusion.
