Blue Bottle Games, as a policy, does not use generative AI. It's something we've discussed as a team, weighing the pros and cons, and ultimately, we decided it was not for us. Recently, while chatting with a colleague, she mentioned it was useful hearing our reasoning. So: Sharing time! 1/12

The same people embracing AI slop are also ones that go for "viral food" trends - which are always some kind of slop... usually smothered in too much cheese. TRUST NOT THE SLOP LOVERS!

A wee group of angry balaclava and mask-wearing anti-immigration guys tried to stop the good people of Glasgow showing solidarity with migrants and standing up to racism and fascism. Well, the far right are far outnumbered... #RefugeesWelcome #MigrantsWelcome #NeighboursNotStrangers #Glasgow
Photo of a small group of mostly men wearing black, with masks and balaclavas, surrounded by a Police Scotland cordon in the bottom of the photo, in the foreground. In the background, a very large colourful crowd of people with saltires, trade union banners, and hand-made signs in support of migrants and against racism have turned up to gather to show solidarity, and the far right guys were hoping to thwart that. They didn't.

Just remembering the time my mates pub got partly filled with racegoers one night and I arranged for the music (and service of booze) to stop and belted out Monty Python's "The Penis Song", "Sit On My Face" and "Bruce's Philosophers Song" both perfectly and to initially srunned faces.
