One thing I *have* seen a study on is that people will behave more sexually and abusively to chatbots when the bots are presented as women. That seems bad! Not because the chatbots are actually humans, but because the *user* is, and that says something about them www.researchgate.net/publication/...

the machine will always outcompete humans when it comes to extruding marketable digestible frictionless slop, so we should choose a different battleground — be as perversely gloriously human as we can. the machine is a sycophant, whereas art comes from being a weird monomaniacal freak

the only survival strategy in the near to mid term for creatives imo is to make weird new stuff that an LLM could never come up with bc it’s hopelessly mired in nostalgia and what has come before — we have to lean into being weird human freaks rather than producing “content”

multiple things going on: games as the highest form of capitalist art, subordinating previously dominant media — films are increasingly gamified, in this sense & also in terms of plot and technology; look at superhero movies using the visual effects technologies of games + gamelike procedural plots

Somehow I have a gut feeling that the Venn diagram of "people who say AI will customise a game to your exact liking" and "people clout chasing by rallying against difficulty settings, accessibility, and diversity" are somehow pretty much two concentric circles.

Women couldn't be outlawed in 13th-century England because they were never put in law. Instead, women accused of crimes were ordered to be waived if they failed to appear at trial. The consequence of waivery was the same as outlawry's: execution (often immediately and without trial). 🧵1/4

A woman in blue at the top of a castle is striking a man in red on the head with her sword. He seems to fall from the ladder he was climbing as is it enters his skull. The woman has a look on her face that says "Don't mess with me."

the average artist works really damn hard for generally pretty bad pay and/or bad working conditions but I think passionate people engaging in skillful work should be recognized and rewarded! this feels extremely obvious to me but maybe it's not anymore, in this productivity obsessed hellscape

I genuinely don't understand why so many people have an almost instinctual feeling that artists don't deserve success, or worse, that success is somehow necessarily antithetical to being a true artist it's like there's no way to win, except for total self-sacrifice and devaluing of your work

sometimes it feels like a lot of normal people conceptualize an "artist" as a superposition of both A. a super wealthy fine art elite who does low effort abstract art nobody understands B. someone magically born with the art talent gene even though A is 0.000001% of artists and B is not a thing

I think this is a really good example of the problem with the word "artist", and where the creativity vs artistry/vision vs craftsmanship lens can be useful people who agree with the sentiment here (myself included) heavily value craftsmanship - skipping over the craft defeats the purpose but,

every game has a human story behind it. the architecture of a childhood home. the crazy new ideas that came into view in adolescence. the relationships they held close, or suffered through. uncovering these personal truths just makes me love games even more. Viktor was an artist. he gave us himself.
