in many ways going back to an old game project is like being an amnesiac murderer and coming back to the crime scene and trying to piece together the deeply sick individual who could have possibly done this

Okay! Here’s the opening statement provided by the fired Rockstar workers. Key points: -There was allegedly a ‘mole’ in the union Discord server for over a year who funnelled info back to R* -It’s claimed R* only acted shortly after union members passed the 10% threshold for statutory recognition

I needed a placeholder book cover for a library puzzle I'm working on. Think I nailed it.

A 3D model of a book, specifically The War of the Worlds by H.G Wells. The placeholder cover illustration is a childlike scribble.

Protip: you do not have to watch the new Harry Potter trailer. I did not watch the new Harry Potter trailer, and I am doing great. If I had watched the new Harry Potter trailer, I am sure to have felt regretful and like I had betrayed many wonderful trans folks just living their lives.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

theverge.com

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

Yep, agreed. I constantly have to tell people that leadership NEEDS to feel organizational friction otherwise they'll keep increasing and increasing the workload. If people try to remove that friction by working more or above their level, that becomes the new norm and it will STILL be increased.

I just want to mention: Even if your AI somehow runs locally and you think it's okay, it's still using trained data from a pre-existing dataset which is still full of stolen work. The sheer amount of data gen AI needs is in the hundreds of thousands, you can only get that by scraping
