I can't stop thinking how wrong the tech bros have understood creativity and creators. Or even just having hobbies. #erliart

I think I prefer Neilly and Sarah's video on the subject of harm and justice. This article feels aligned with KYLR, which is necessary to protect victims and to set hard boundaries in communities, but it also walks too close to replicating state carceral punishment through punitive action.

Sorry I have been playing too much Control Resonant and had to get this out of my head.

I'm sure he believes he has a proprietary process of prompting an LLM to generate a prompt for gen AI that will keep slamming that slot machine until he has something he personally likes (and his taste is clearly so much better than the average person or _Indie developers_)

Holy shit who hurt you? Did Marathon, Arc Raiders and Helldivers 2 shit in your bed or something? If the only way to say the game is good is to shit on others uh... Yeah I'm good, hard pass.

And the companies you work for have control over you in other ways like being able to deny you leaving the company (not legally, but they can make it a nightmare), forced relocations etc. I'm super happy for the worker rights the game developers have, but it's still a yikes :(

My favourite thing is when people say "it's because they have strong worker rights" and I'm just begging people to be more credulous. Like, congratulations on it being hard to be fired, but also the pay sucks, the company you work for has immense control over your personal life and you can't quit!

Ireland’s Classic Hits radio station is boycotting Ed Sheeran’s music as well. Also worth noting once again our national TV broadcaster is not broadcasting Eurovision next year because of Israel. If you think the Irish acts and Ireland’s stance is too much then you don’t understand our history 🧵

Centrists think the moral of "and then they came for..." is for persecuted people to hold the line for everyone further down the chain instead of - you know - standing with them.

Alas no - OpenAI, and no doubt all the others, have been engaging in training models in a way that are wildly irresponsible, so they want cover for the slow down on their current frontier models while they work out how to transition to these newer ones. We have so much worse on the horizon.

"but all we did is quote him - he's the one making the statement, we're not making a judgement" - yes, you are by sharing it as your headline without responsibly couching it with "claims". It's not hard.

Andrew Nesvadba @nesvand.xyz · 07/09/2026

We live in the stupidest timeline. Whatever your thoughts are on AI (read: LLMs, because that's what we're ultimately talking about here) - this shit is just turbo stupid and sharing it as though there's any credibility to the statement shows (again) just how much we've been failed by journalists.

How many people have an accurate understanding of what LLMs are, and aren't; what they can and can't do? The true costs and benefits? That's a result of the relentless hype big tech has been pumping out for years. Now that it's causing backlash they're bemoaning uninformed criticism. Sowing, reaping

Local harms are quite literally the best reason for forcing things to be reassessed. It's literally the most important reason. Gentrifying "the ends justify the means" doesn't make it a moral good. If you're so desperate to have AI research, do it properly - stop throwing people under the bus.

As someone who spent a lot of time clocking the console and arcade originals... Absolutely not. Pathetic you can't even take a basic moral stance in support of the people who make your hobby a reality.

Final Fantasy 7 has some fantastic composition, but it does really need a CRT filter to blend the characters into the pre-rendered backgrounds.

When people say "AI has zero benefits" they know what they're talking about - they're talking about generative and LLMs. With that said ML is not without deep flaws unless it is rigorously tested and confirmed to minimise biases. Stop trying to smuggle shit we know is ok into the things that aren't.

CONTROL Resonant has gone gold! Get ready to unleash Dylan Faden's paranatural abilities on September 24th. The physical release date for the game has moved October 15th. We need more time to deliver the physical version to you, but rest assured - nothing stays contained forever. #CONTROLResonant

No-one asked for these posters - they would have been created by feeding an existing notice, so they're entirely redundant. But, the owner clearly had credits to burn, so "content" with "branding" was made. Congratulations I will literally never eat at your store.

I had the gross misfortune today of delivering for a restaurant that had, on full display, health and safety posters that were AI-generated. Zero need for it to be AI-generated - but they did it anyway. Slop is not only pointless, but also an active threat to safety.

I am begging you to talk to people in marketing and have them laugh in your face. The app I work on has no less than 4 different analytics systems in it. That's just the web version. The native app? Lmao. Oh and this is positively lightweight to what I've seen.

Andrew Nesvadba @nesvand.xyz · 12/08/2026

The argument is that marketing wouldn't need to be so bloated and horrible if we just accepted it and... No? If you give someone space to put an ad they _will_. This is the online equivalent of trickle-down-economics.

Critiquing isn't about hating something, it's about identifying what works, what doesn't work and why. Sometimes it's subjective, but as long as you reflect on it beyond "it sucks" you'll develop an insight that's so much more satisfying to readers/watchers.

Andrew Nesvadba @nesvand.xyz · 03/08/2026

I don't know how we right this ship, but "positivity only" has become a very weird expectation of critics for a while now. I've even talked to some former colleagues and friends who refuse to talk about things they don't like and I'm like... That's where you learn the craft.

And based on research my friend and his professor worked on in that period this had as much to do with elder millennials and younger Gen X changing the norms via their free income. This was all so wildly unpopular until that flashpoint.

000

Andrew Nesvadba @nesvand.xyz · 26/07/2026

I'm surprised I haven't seen a video linking the two - not saying it doesn't exist (I don't think I've discovered anything particularly novel), but I have to imagine there have been follow-up research papers that would amount to "we could have told you people would lose their shit using LLMs"

Andrew Nesvadba @nesvand.xyz · 26/07/2026

So, it's unsurprising that people code their agents as feminine. It doesn't matter if they think they're doing it for a good reason or not. Side note, this research is also a fascinating early warning sign of the psychosis we see today.

100

Andrew Nesvadba @nesvand.xyz · 26/07/2026

It's not a coincidence at all - Nass et. al. famously demonstrated that people prefer computerised "social actors" to be coded feminine. And yes, you can read into that as much as you want, because it's believed people use their perception of social/gender norms to these actors.

Tangentially, as a non-game developer I keep hearing about how hard it is to implement doors well in a game and this helps to demonstrate one of the many small details you need to consider. Cool demo!
