I remember when people looked at me funny for saying that the only way the business model and valuation of these genAI companies makes sense is if they believe they can control people’s most basic cognitive skills. Now the CEOs are just saying the quiet part out loud. futurism.com/health-medic...

if you want shit to get better you HAVE to look for opportunities to leverage what little power you have towards that goal. you must. the world will not improve if people simply sigh and do nothing.

The corporation won't protect you. The corporation won't respect you. The corporation won't care for you. This is betrayal on such an unfathomable scale that I hope if anything, it can serve as a way for all of us to agree there is never a good reason to protect the corporation over your colleagues.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

A few moments I am thinking a lot about at the end of a long, thoughtful, exhausting, and restorative week of gamescom. Some context in the alt text.

Red graffiti on a white wall outside a bar in an alleyway. It reads “we decide who we are” with the transgender symbol next to it.

A faint rainbow standing tall juxtaposed across the skyline against the cologne cathedral.

An audience of game developers watching Kim Belair talk at gamescom dev. The slide reads “WE WILL ALL BE DEAD SOON, BUT WE LOVE IN ABSURD TIMES.”

A phone held in front of a train window rushing past some trees. On the phone is a photo of a slide from Kim Belair’s talk that says “ALL WE HAVE IS TIME”

I'm still actually a bit emotional from my one day at Gamescom and I just wanna say: tell people you like what they're doing. I'm always worried it may come across as overly earnest or arse-kissey, but I've always meant it and ppl hear it less often than you'd think. I think you're all amazing

Going to E3 was on childhood me’s bucketlist and I was sad that I never made it before it died. But it turns out gamescom is *way* cooler, so much excitement and spectacle. Makes me feel like a starry eyed kid again. :D

Hi! Have you ever played a healer in a multiplayer game, and think they don't get enough love? Me too! I want to fix that. So, I'm working on a single player action RPG about healers! If you want to help, taking this quick survey will help me test some theories I have. <3 forms.gle/TQGszPYvQduu...

I've talked to friends at EA who are absolutely gutted at this nonsense. They didn't ask for this. Sure, some of them get a small payday now, but its peanuts compared to what the execs are taking away, and things will only get worse for the workers. This sucks for everyone (except billionaires).

"saudi arabia owns EA" is going to be the headline you see basically everywhere for this one but "jared kushner is about to use EA as a vehicle for trump administration bribes" is equally relevant imo

The firm is fully owned by Jared Kushner and has a staff of approximately 20 people.[2][5] By 2024, the firm had returned no profits to its investors.[6] The firm has been controversial due to conflicts of interests arising from Kushner soliciting funds from Middle Eastern governments while also working as an envoy having direct and indirect dealings with those governments in his role in the second Trump administration.[7] According to reporting by Bloomberg News, investors in the firm do so with the expectation of influencing the Trump administration.[8]
