This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

"Data from more than 760,000 15-year-olds indicated that 86 per cent of teens globally use AI for school, and teens who use AI for schoolwork every week score one year behind teens who never use AI. Canadian students who use AI every week score two years behind." Brutally bad.

Two thoughts: 1. There's something bleak about using AI to turn the endless sea of shitty mobile games into a neverending content farm. 2. Inferring from the comments that this practice is seen as unique to mobile games, implying an assumption that """real""" games wouldn't betray that trust. lol

Vibe coded programs are extremely dangerous. You have no idea wtf the code is made to do, and neither does the person distributing it. Like sure, it could infect your PC or create backdoors, but also memory leaks, render files unusable, brick it so you can't boot, anything Do not install them

It is, in fact, possible to impeach and remove President Trump from office next week. It won't happen, however, because Republicans also support Putin and Russia and agree with Trump.

This is huge: a judge ruled a Flock search was 'indiscriminate mass surveillance' and unconstitutional. Says the search by a cop, who did it because a passing car had a plate from a different state, violated the driver's rights. Meaning, Flock should require a warrant www.404media.co/federal-judg...

Federal Judge Rules a Flock Search Was ‘Indiscriminate Mass Surveillance’ and Unconstitutional
Flock’s nationwide network is quickly “approaching dragnet-type law enforcement practice” and the cop should have got a warrant, the judge wrote.

hey Townfall, I think it's fucking bullshit how the CRTV is there to show you monsters and then you introduce monsters that don't show on the CRTV. that's mean af. rude. At least one bullet kills them. Also holy fucking shit, I'm glad to be out of Different Medical Center. Hated that.

Kudos to Townfall. I absolutely fucking hate stealth games, and I hate it here too, but you are good enough with everything else to keep compelling me to play. Sometimes I just need a cooldown because fucking up hiding portions makes me big mad.

I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."
Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton 

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."

Claude making a scientific discovery
Black-and-white three-part comic. In the first scene, one simple cartoon figure holds out a small round handmade-looking object and says, “I MADE THIS.” Another figure replies, “YOU MADE THIS?” In the second scene, the second figure is shown alone holding the object. In the final scene, that figure holds it proudly and says, “I MADE THIS”

Kalshi is objectively detrimental to society and you should be reminded of that every day

A.I. versions of cute animal videos are NOT the worst thing one can make with A.I. But they feel so immensely, deeply infuriating, because the entire appeal of cute animal videos is something cute, wholesome, and heartwarming *actually happening.* Their reality IS THE POINT.

The only people claiming AI is inevitable in gamedev are those that value how cheap and fast a game can be made, above all else. I value quality. Games made with passion and soul. AI is not inevitable. Don't let the bastards grind you down.

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games! Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI. You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:- www.polygon-treehouse.com/no-gen-ai-seal
A graphical asset in the shape of a cog. It contains the following text 'This developer assures that NO GEN AI' was used in this indie game
