I'm typing away on my keyboard, as an older women enters the #Volt office (where I work) and says: "I'm here to learn about Volt — we need to do something about those facist tech companies." I was touched! This is why I'm doing my work! Laying the groundwork to show that we still can push back.

Mich freut es wirklich sehr, dass Benjamin hier nochmal auf unsern Status als Indie eingeht und was das bedeutet. Viel zu oft wird man als Indie mit Spielen von Asmodee verglichen, die in einer Auflage von 300.000 Stück in China gedruckt wurden.

Der "Witz", dass in Berlin jetzt "erstmal wieder Juden enteignet werden" und die Kunstpause nach "spekulieren" machen nur Sinn, wenn man davon ausgeht, dass Juden überdurchschnittlich viel Geld haben & spekulieren. Das sind klassische antisemitische Motive. #Antisemitismus

A week ago at Dragoncon I met Richard Garriott at a panel about his new Ultima game. Long story short he wants to use AI. He already has for concept art and ChatGPT generated fantasy language. I wrote an account with the hope that this could spread to the right people. Please pass this along.

Dass einige durchgeknallte Unternehmer die Faschisten ins Amt hieven wollen, überrascht nicht sonderlich. Die Rolle der Boulevardpresse - auch nicht. Aber dass die öffentlich-rechtlichen Medien so eifrig mithelfen, überrascht mich. Hätte ich vor zehn Jahren nicht gedacht.

I'm trying to call a customer service hotline and every time I call it says: "Our employees are in a company wide meeting, please call back in 1 hour." Was this the meeting where they fired all the support staff to replace them with AI. And now there is no one left to change the automatic message?

I'm seriously worried about the men commenting on the AI generated boardgame reviews of the fake AI woman that sells AI generated spicy pics – who also recently fake broke up with her AI boyfriend. I wish I would be making this up... but that's the world we live in now.

It's always a highlight when #AIboosters tell you about how #AI is changing the world... And then their example for how they are using it is something like: My team is bad at project management and follow through, therefore I have the AI read our Slack to create tasks with deadlines for them.

Neon Hope is an LCG-like set in a cyberpunk/solarpunk world. Only played one episode (of five in the box) but so far it seems really really promising. @hopefulgames.bsky.social

I cannot stress enough: the AI bubble has already popped it is just being kept on life support by corporations trying to squeeze even a dollar more out of their shit investment, and tech bros doing the same before abandoning their shit company startups. keep hating on AI, you're winning

It's so sad to see more and more Instagram channels look alike in the #boardgame space. The same #AI generated logos. The same AI "enhanced" images of game boxes. Everyone is the same comic character now. I can't wait for the bubble to pop.

+ All the people who are anti-Al or want to slow Al progress, I have one question:
If Al disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through an entire workday without ChatGPT, Claude, or any other
Al tool?
Imagine Al was suddenly banned.
Would you actually be willing to give it up?
