I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

Genuinely, this is what bothers me the most, it's fundamentally changed my relationship with art where I'm greeting it initially with skepticism and scrutiny, I never want to feel that way about art.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

9 games thing, but I'm taking it literally as "the 9 games that have shaped my art & game design sensibilities the most" & not necessarily my 9 all-time favorite games.

Pokemon Crystal, Super Mario World, Mega Man X, Super Smash Bros, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2, Zelda Windwaker, Super Mario Maker, Kirby Planet Robobot, Zelda Breath of the Wild.

I've seen lots of folks ask "how do I get into 2D Metroid?" & here's my unsolicited opinion: Spark notes: Dread ➡️ Ravenous Skimmed it: Super ➡️ Fusion ➡️ Dread ➡️ Ravenous Cover-to-cover: Zero Mission ➡️ Samus Returns ➡️ Super ➡️ Fusion ➡️ Dread ➡️ Ravenous Personal faves are Dread & Zero Mission.
