Guys, do not use the Discord Checkpoint thing (Discord's attempt at Spotify Wrapped). It requires enabling them access to scrape your data, and has an alarming amount of private data being used for it. Make sure you have these disabled.

Naked authoritarian fascism. Love and support to the entire team at @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social, who *will* come out the other side of this horrendous abuse of power. Disgusted to see ABC caving to this glaringly illegal and unconstitutional threat from Brendan Carr.

If you want this to change, you have to give platforms like Itch (and Valve) *more* power to fight back against Collective Shout, not less — which means working with them to organize action even if you are frustrated or angered by the action they’ve been forced to take thus far.

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa. It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;) It's so New York.

One of the stupidest things about AI boosters is when they talk about "lowering barriers to entry" for making art without once thinking about how the biggest barrier to entry to the arts is that American society makes it almost impossible survive in the arts unless you already come from money.

People are excited for Inzoi because 😱*GASP* new Sims-like BUT PLEASE DON'T SUPPORT IT, IT HEAVILY uses gen-AI, from AI generated 3D objects, to AI generated images (not just textures, but decorations and more), even the steam banner is AI If you are against AI, don't give this game your money!
Inzoi released on steam in early access with very positive reviews, but the positive reception of this game just fuels the Generative AI dumpster fire.

As stated DIRECTLY from the devs:
inZOI uses on-device generative AI technology to provide creators with additional customization options for an intuitive creative experience.

Enter text prompts to generate custom patterns and images to customize outfits, props, and furniture to your liking. Transform 2D images into in-game 3D objects or create character motions by uploading your video files.

Bring your imagination to life with these powerful tools! With limitless creative freedom, the possibilities are endless!
---------------------------------------
Steam also has to show the AI generated content disclosure as well for this game:


Players can generate unique textures for character outfits and various items based on text input. They can also create 3D objects from image input, which can be used as interior decorations or accessories, and add distinctive motions to their Zoi using video input. Additionally, the actions and thoughts of Zois are controlled through sLM technology, enabling more engaging and intuitive interactions.
