This (very short) paper is a good primer on the problems with Narayan's reliance on synthetic focus groups. He is spending public money to create a counterfeit of public engagement and then making decisions in that basis.

even if you have zero dollars the nicest thing you can do for an author is request that your local library buy a copy of our books every time i see that someone did this it feels so special. like, not only did they care, that made sure other people had access. it’s so kind 🥹

I don’t want this point to be lost in the discourse. Going digital-only means inequity for people who cannot afford internet or constantly purchasing new games. Libraries provide opportunities for people to experience games they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford, and that will be lost.

No, technology is not neutral, and calling AI and other technological contrivances “tools” obscures proper understanding of their role & impact. I encourage everyone to read @lmsacasas.bsky.social. Not just this, but everything he writes…but also THIS!

Daily: " Aren't we better up here ?"
A digital painting of a moody environment, a carriage is in the middle of the composition. 3 peoples are outside it, one driving it, two other silhouettes sit on the roof. 
Inside the carriage can be seen some silhouettes as well. 

The mood is eery and atmospheric, almost colorless except the area where the light come from the inside of the carriage which is the only warm color in the grey scale.

Rasheed is literally risking his life for this game. Israelis could decide to capture, torture, or murder him at any point for daring to share the truth of the Nakba or Palestinian culture. He truly believes in games and their power to tell these stories. Please help his courage not be in vain.

Develop “concept art”?? 💀 💀 💀 All the image models solely rely on stolen work of countless of artists to function at capacity. Using them not only is deeply unethical but puts the company at risk. Not worth it and I truly hope ( hell, I’m begging) that they reconsider 😭

I made a machine steal the work of a real human being. It's almost as if the stolen work it regurgitated seems like it was written by a real human being. Instead of giving that credit to the breathing person it was stolen from... perhaps the theft machine is actually alive??
