This was a wonderful experience. More than just a simple read, the shifting focus on the illustration makes you reflect on the same things you may have in your own life.

Your bad art is better than AI slop.
four frame comic. first frame shows a typical AI poster that says : All chatgpt flyers look the same, especially with this font! the text above it reads : I won't go to your event if the poster was made by AI. second frame shows a still frame from a Hank Green youtube video. text above reads : I won't read your post or email and I won't watch your video if they were made with AI. third frame shows an AI restaurant poster of burgers and chicken in a window. text reads : I won't patronize your shop  or restaurant if it is advertised with AI. last frame shows an MS paint window with badly written : Your bad art is better than AI slop. text reads : if you can't take the time or make the effort to interact with me yourself, then why should I do it?

The business of "A.i." is based on a lack of consent. The corporations pushing it don't ask if anyone wants it; they force it on us. They use it to surveil. They offer it to creeps to create nudes of others without permission. It's a business run by creeps with the ethics of creeps.

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

it's actually sad as hell to use AI for research when research is the fun part. you can just email people and call them on the phone and ask them questions about the thing that they have expertise in. you can read documents & learn cool shit. ok now i'm just talking about how being a reporter is fun

Panel 1: Shenne (this is how I'll reference the girl version of Shen from now on) is making a comically pouty crybaby hands with her hands raised and saying "oooo I can't even draw a stick figure"

Panel 2: She's now doing raptor hands and continuing to make the pouty face in profile view, saying "ooooo if I draw something, it's gonna be BAD!"

Panel 3: Shenne faces you directly, the front of her body shaded apart from her eyes and teeth, which form a disgusted expression as she says "WHO THE HELL CARES?? DON'T YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WANNA SAY TO THE WORLD???"

Panel 4: Shenne, still with a disgusted expression, says "here, loser" and throws a pencil at you.

I'm happy to announce to game developers worldwide that almost every single one of us can now officially claim that at least one of our games did better numbers than the "Great American State Fair", and also that we did better at not shipping greybox assets for our setpieces.

Destiny didn’t fall short of expectations, LEADERSHIP did. Some of the most out of touch people who only saw the $ & held a beloved franchise to the coals because it didn’t fit their margins. Devs suffocated under the immeasurable weight of their greed. Everyone who has worked there deserves better.

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.
Hi, thanks for posting! We do appreciate you thinking of us even though we have to moderate.

Our stance on all AI generated content (Images, Video, Voiceovers, and whatever else LLM based AI gets up to in the future):

At best, they are approximations of street fighter characters as the AI has no clue what it is trying to create. Because of this, there is no street fighter content so they are not allowed. (rule 1)

Also, they aren't allowed per our source rule. As AI sources cannot be tracked, we must assume that they use uncredited sources in the learning data. (rule 5)

Finally, AI images, video, text, and voiceovers are barely any different than posting a screenshot of a google search. The level of effort is so low that we consider it spam (rule 3).

Because of these reasons, AI art and other AI content is not allowed.

If you would like to contact the moderators about this removal, you can do so here.

"Game dev is one of those jobs you only do when you really want to. It's not going to make your parents proud, you're unlikely to get rich in an industry that lays off people for making superhits, and its a demanding & confrontative job. Why would you let a machine do the thing you're here to do?"

Thank you @nathangrayson.bsky.social for providing a space to celebrate Destiny 2's bittersweet ending, and to @alisontheperson.bsky.social for showing me stellar leadership.
Screenshot from the article which reads: "Something that I really appreciated about working here was that our narrative director, Alison, would be very meticulous about what we were assigned, either because she wanted us to shine with our talents or to challenge us to be better and push ourselves. That's a very rare thing to happen in games when everyone is just focusing on shipping something as fast as possible. This lore tab got really great reception, but more importantly it was the first time that I felt like I mastered writing prose. I am very sad at how Destiny 2 was cut short, but I am so incredibly grateful and proud that my time there was useful and valuable, both to players and to myself.

This team was really special. I feel like everyone I worked with was not only talented, but unbelievably compassionate. I really hope I cross paths with those devs more during my career because they were a breath of fresh air."

When digital art programs came out there were those who insisted digital art wasn't art. I think that's what AI ppl hear when I say images made by generators aren't art. But they are intentionally disregarding the essential element here, which is fucking humanity. A human being creating something.

Be sure to use Al when making your next, I don't know, meal plan, for example. Definitely do not call your friend who loves to cook and ask her for her favorite recipes or tips or ways to save time making meals, because you will end
up talking for longer than you had hoped, hearing, perhaps, about her father's cancer diagnosis or how lonely she's been or even what she's planted in her spring garden and then lost with the early frost.

Digital art of my exo Titan, Julip-4, holding the little round core of his Ghost, Imbrem, up to his cheek, framed in a thin rectangle in the center of the composition. Both of their eyes are closed, and Julip wears a red sash pinned with a golden Titan emblem across his chest. A decorative halo radiates out from behind him.

Digital art in soft, dark tones. Drifter and Eris hold each other close as if dancing, framed from the thighs up in the circle of the moon, a bright crescent of it on the lower right. A thin decorative frame encircles the moon as well as the corners of the image. Small italic text at the bottom reads "Joy, at last."
