The very predictable side effect of not hiring junior roles and replacing* them with AI instead. *AI can't actually do the job of humans. (Credit: inspired by a tweet by a @Dylanszn01 on twitter)

Just helping with editing here. These bots aren’t sentient. They’re doing what they’re programmed to do. OpenAI, a private company supposedly bound by laws, committed federal crimes.

The new Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake's Link design looks very very similar to my 2 year old daughter and it is making me laugh.

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

Well, I guess the news about new ownership of Artstation is a nothing burger as Kitbash3D is just as bad as Epic in relation to AI slop. "At KitBash, we wired AI into the nervous system of the company." "Engineers don’t write the first line of code anymore. AI does. "
