They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

The instinct to share something personal about Pac, but the amount of respect, care and commitment he had to wrestling and to being a professional is a line I can't bear to cross - but let that remind you just how good he was. Forever loved, forever respected. What a fucking Bastard.

getting into computer science has quickly and efficiently made me hate AI more than I already did (a lot). There is no world where I would let AI make my code, there is no place where I would let "ease" dull my senses. I look at these poor souls giving to the machine and knowing not what they create

i think one big factor (among many) as to why AI has had such a foothold in coding spaces is because the majority of people dont consider programming to be art

They fired so many artists over this too. People who helped make the game iconic were tossed out on the street because the Slop Faucet could do it "decent enough". If you still play Fortnite, you're funding the hyper-acceleration of AI replacing Artists in Gaming

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"
Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer):  You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

Perfect couple of posts summarising the Wolverine / AAA space.
User @nisei_yoshimi posted on X:

time was if you wanted a wolverine game you called up acclaim or etc and they gave it to some lads from scunthorpe named like Galactic Visions who would code a 6/10 third person action game for PS2 xbox and gamecube in ten months. and it would cost about £500 and a few curries

bought a @frame.work laptop because I wanted something easily repairable, and I specifically wanted a workstation for coding. What I got is a board with a bad firmware that doesn't recognize boot drives and an abandoned support ticket. Don't buy from them, you will waste 36 days and counting.

Missing the point meme format

The Boss says “war is bad because borders aren’t real and it’s never ever been for the benefit of the citizens also soldiers are a disposable class”. Naked Snake says “wow! My mom died because soldiers are a disposable class, so I’ll wage endless war to make sure soldiers remain useful forever.” At the far end, Revolver Ocelot thinks to himself “god I want to suck this guy’s cock so bad”.
