I was talking with friends recently about how pervasive capitalism is in the mindset of gaming specifically in the concept of how free fangames, level sets, etc love to describe their content in numbers, a thing commercial games do primarily to make a value proposition

Sometimes, when possible, its good to respond with practical advice when awful things try and take over so here's my attempt. 5 out of the 15 projects featured *aren't* AI-utilising. Those are: "SymphonyRecomp" "Banjo: Recompiled" "Fable II: Recompiled" "Condemned II: Recompiled" and "Dusklight"

If you like movies you're a cinephile, but if you like Nintendo games you're a degenerate. This is clearly propaganda from the other gaming companies such as Sony, Microsoft, and Google. Vote for me for congress and I will validate their concerns.

Yes, the internet, foss, society, and the climate got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we didn't even create a lot of value for shareholders because AI was never actually profitable.

The entertainment industry has hit rock bottom. Nothing remains of a semblance of gratitude, or even retaining competent people and a team's experience. There is only short-term savings, while these companies are making massive profits. No wonder they're all crazy about AI.

When a game studio ships a solid game, it creates TWO valuable products: 1. A solid game. 2. The team that spent years learning how to work together make a game. Because Western studios keep disbanding #2 while development cycles get longer; we will inevitably see less of #1.

I mean this is the problem, isn't it? The technology is harmful and is already producing harmful outcomes; its mass deployment is collectively negative even if individuals perceive a localized benefit. There's no "plan" to get around the harms without giving up the supposed benefits.

Your “vote” under a dictatorship of capital is a nonverbal commitment to the continuing of it as the way of rule. There is no “chess move” you are a weapon they use to bludgeon revolutionaries and keep the machine in place.

Britain is at a point where none of these liberal or conservative capitalist politicians can offer any change. It must choose between Socialism or barbarism. Cos if it sticks with its current capitalist and white supremacist system and politicians, it's definitely going to end in barbarism.

There used to be a debate about the driving force of society: politics or economics? Marx showed that it's the contradictions in our economic system and that politics emerge in response to them. Liberals are so far gone they believe it's the psychological issues of a few men.

Hey, beyond all the actual bad policy ideas this guy has, have we considered that Mark Carney might also be bad at his job?
Headline: “new details on Geordie Howe bridge deal confirmed, following confusion caused by Mark Carney remarks”

Sub: “for the first 15 years, Canada will pay down debt incurred to build bridge using money left over after sharing revenue with the USA “

Picture: Carney and Trump, in a meeting.

I am increasingly leaning away from calling "AI" generated stuff "slop" towards calling it "corrosion". Because that's what it does. To our information landscape. To the quality of artifacts around us. To our social connections. To our mental health. To our cognitive abilities.

Looked at the UN report on "AI" (written by a bunch of mostly computer scientists who to a large degree have close ties to big tech) and it's really bad. Just "AI" hype based on studies that are long shown to be garbage.
