The thing about working in a no-AI studio (@deadbodygames.bsky.social) is that it's literally the easiest thing in the world to not use AI. It's the default option. All you have to do is keep doing things the exact same way you did two years ago and not stick your head in the Brain Fryer 3000

Doing some work on my next game, just paused and had a moment of thinking "I love doing this." If you use generative AI, not only are you a talentless hack, you're robbing yourself from the joy of the creative process.

A halfbody digital illustration of Hatsune Miku. The image is drawn with flat colors. She is wearing a modified version of the Ribbon Girl module outfit. She has two semi-long pigtails, one of which has a light pink ribbon. She is smiling and looking towards the viewer, doing a heart hands pose. Within the hand heart shape is the transgender flag. The image has a plain off-white background.

For the confused but sincere liberals in your life, a little article I wrote today: i stay calm and polite in my explanation so you don't have to. Keep the URL on speed dial, for when you need it. aria.dog/barks/why-yo...
Pretend that on the cover of every Animorphs book, there is a sticker that says: “Due to the author’s personal beliefs, $1 of your purchase goes towards funding Russian Iskander-1000 missiles” (an imaginary scenario that, i reiterate, is far from reality).
In that scenario, would you still deserve to have friends from Ukraine? Would you still be frequentable by the standards of people from Finland or Estonia?
In that scenario, would you say, “I didn’t notice the sticker so I didn’t know”? Would you say, “I bought it for my child, my child is innocent, leave my child out of this”? Would you say, “I separate the art from the artist”? Would you say, “It’s OK, I didn’t buy the book, I got it for free”? Would you say, “It was just one dollar, it’s not enough to buy a full missile”?

A normal person upon hearing about ABA evolving from child abuse done to disabled kids, to child abuse done on queer kids, won't act confused and frustrated when the conversation turns to: children's rights and bodily autonomy. They won't shut down and go uncommunicative about the shift in subject.

There's a conversational thing maga chuds do that I call motivated incuriosity. They will say thing X, which to normal people is something very, extremely, cartoonishly, obviously connected to thing Y. And then act incredibly confused frustrated when you bring up thing Y.

Hat tip to @emexastris.bsky.social for pointing this out, but if you notice, the two people whose knowledge Huang appeals to are, y'know, 1) people and 2) of course women. One is his wife (Lori = Lori Huang) and the other ('Janine') is, I think, Janine Paul who I *think* is his personal assistant?

It's hilarious that Huang things not knowing his address, zip-code and phone number are a mark of how he is cognitively off-loading to technology and Klein doesn't seem to press him that what he's actually obviously doing is using the fact that he's rich to off-load onto other humans.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

Trans people are a slightly LARGER percent of the US population in 2026 than Jewish people were in Germany in 1933. Assholes who say trans folk aren’t worth defending because of population size are telling us exactly who they would have been in Nazi Germany.

Even if you don't stream, go turn this off. While it says "channel content" which implies streams, it'll likely be trying to capture your chat messages too. Don't think this doesn't affect you cause you don't stream. Turn it off. And check regularly to make sure it stays off.

youre so right but just to clarify! yes it DOES affect viewers, however for you chats to not be used for training, the streamer needs to turn off the setting! viewers need to turn it off to protect their pfp, panels, bio, and banner. via twitch’s FAQ article: help.twitch.tv/s/article/tw...
What channel content (clips, chat, metadata, etc.) is eligible to be used for generative AI training?

Your stream and the stream's chat, your VODs, your Clips, Highlights, and any text or images on your Channel may be used. If you chat on someone else's stream, their opt-out preferences govern if that chat can be used for training.

This green energy project: quite well planned and competently managed.

Infrastructure Guy on podcast: ok, you did choose the right group to pick on and you almost got away with it, but was any of this really necessary?
