it was smart of jacob geller to only post about what he did to his 50k followers on here instead of to his 1.5 million youtube subs or on his patreon. that way fewer people know about it and he limits the financial hit

automaton-media.com/en/game-deve... They've said more more directly pro generative AI usage things in the past, but this technology is still generative AI, and ignoring that, a way to semi-automate QA does still have the same risk of cutting the number of QA staff required.

The work being alienating and "pointless" so often probably contributes a lot to this, not even touching being judged on metrics that AI will perform better on (# of lines, commits, etc) over a qualitative analysis of your performance.

In particular, this points towards the failures of Title IX and how keeping it "in house" is often very damaging. Geller isn't required to disclose anything by law, and leaving that to personal character is a massive failing.

About as much of a smoking gun as you can ask for, I assume this will be the last we see of Geller a la Virgil Texas. Disappointing, good that there's something so concrete though.

A wrinkle to this is that sharing/"stealing" or reusing code often contributes to the idea that it's just purely functional, not that the collaborative process is beautiful in and of itself. Intellectual property is not the value of art, it's an obstacle to it.

I'd say programming is to a degree art as everything is but the more important comparison imo is that it's a -craft- Much like carpentry or baking, etc. the moment you see the results you know how far above in quality and longlevity it is and how that can't be replaced fully

Okay so @defector.com has had an odd glitch since the site redesign a couple of weeks back where the wrong photo and headline are often put together on the main page and I was going to ask them about fixing it but this just happened and as far as I'm concerned they have to leave it as is.
Screenshot for a Defector podcast episode with the headline "Consider the Emotional Lives of Scallops" only the accompanying photo is a white gormless stubbled red-headed UK singer of recent notoriety giving a flat smile to the camera while wearing a washed out peach top as beige as he is against a flat background. So, actually, probably a scallop anyway.

Even the largest DSA chapters can't support *every* kind of work, pursuing work outside of the chapter is extremely common. It isn't people's primary org, other times its just bandwidth. I don't think there's an organizational solution to this, anything punitive can cut VERY hard and leftwards.

Given that he wasn't locally or nationally endorsed, a tactic against this seems difficult. If he got de facto support from the chapter, the bridge is hopefully burnt. A cultural change where people wouldn't help w.o the endorsement, or refusing to turn out to punish him is something, but idrk. Wbu?
