If you ever wonder how misaligned with reality the AI hype is with game dev, today I was reminded of a meeting where an AI bro tried to convince me his LLM tool would help games studios save money cus now they "don't have to hire 50 narrative designers". My guy, where you getting your information?

Saw a job opening for puppeteer in a touring show and I'm going to be thinking about it all day. (I love my job and it would not be a practical lifestyle for me...but I guess I long for the open road?)

I've found that the struggle with loan words usually hits around the intermediate stage. They've learned how to pronounce a word they already know in their acquired language and internalize that as "correct" instead of "different" But "correct" is the pronunciation of the language you're speaking

This is awesome. I'm glad that graphic novel versions of so many works exist now! I'm also dyslexic and would like to add that audio books are awesome. Some books I would never get through reading with my eyes but have been very important to me after listening to them.

Itō Jakuchū's 'Frog' of 1790 for me is the iconic image of numbed uncomfortable bafflement at the predicament of existence in the coming modern world, much as Munch's 'Scream' expressed it through horror.

A.I. versions of cute animal videos are NOT the worst thing one can make with A.I. But they feel so immensely, deeply infuriating, because the entire appeal of cute animal videos is something cute, wholesome, and heartwarming *actually happening.* Their reality IS THE POINT.

a pretty good way to gauge the conversation is whether people are talking about harm or risk harm is about what's happening now already risk is about what could maybe happen in the future and basically the whole ai cult scene is in agreement that possible risks are more important than current harm

For real!! Comedian Micky Overman says it like it is. Generally the only people even entertaining the thought of evil AGI are men. Women are too busy fixing the ACTUAL problems of AI, like idk, the way it automates, reproduces and exacerbates misogyny and makes all our lives worse...

20 year old me would be impressed but also probably a bit terrified. In a lot of ways I'm very proud of the ways I've grown and changed but obviously if I could've chosen what formative experiences I would have in life...I would not want my husband to die young.

The most exhausting part of making a game is definitely the part where you have to make the game

He is right but only thinking about Art when grieving is because our society has tried to beat it out of us. Children are born creative; dancing, singing, drawing...but adults often shame them until they stop. Creating and enjoying Art is one of the most powerful sources of joy in the universe.

I worked on this and we actually never worked crunch on it cause the movie got delayed a year so we had LOADs of time...I was on maternity leave for the beginning, came back and we still had time to goof around with making the unreal engine a deferred renderer (that we didn't use!)
