I’ll be honest, I do feel a bit silly having spent so many years of my career working hard to honour IP given how quickly all the IP owners are adopting slop and slop based pipelines. I’d have slept better, for sure.

Unity literally announced the "AI makes a game for you" thing as an April fool's joke in 2012 - dunking on the creative bankruptcy of the whole concept - before announcing it with a straight face just the other day.

I have to imagine Twitch's new "Shouts" feature exists because one of their internal goals is to copy every other popular platform/service into something that runs on Twitch directly. So now streamers can push out little tweets to varying subcategories of viewers, with red-dot "unread" notifications

Recently rewatched Short Circuit 2. That movie may be a dumpster fire, but it sure nailed "lying about intentions to get the machine to ignore safeguards". Multiple times.

Every time I see ragebait posts where the 80s & 90s are referred to as "late 1900s" i reflexively think "no, the bit you're doing is wrong" because i forget that most people didn't have some art history professors demanding that we only use that format for decades (as opposed to Xth century)

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

I've seen multiple people complain on various platforms about seeing peppermint coffee in stores, saying it's "too early" but then the product in question doesn't have any winter theming. Yes, marketing dictates that you should associate it with winter, but consider: have it whenever

This is what I mean about how we have to become snobs. When a bitch says shit like this to you, the move is to immediately become very mean, and laugh at them, and say out loud that you don’t respect them, things of that nature, things Ezra Klein would never do

The Toocheke dev has released an option to pull a tapas site into a wordpress website using their plugin. Wordpress isn't the only option when it comes to websites, but this feature should make it a lot easier for people to make the switch to a website if they want.

Headline nails the core of the "it's complicated" conversation I've been having in multiple circles. I'd love to see a restored Destiny 2, but it sucks that they wouldn't arrive there until after dropping so much of the dev team through a trap door and lopping off foundational chunks of the product

Far too many people believe that if you look at a Steam store page and the game doesn't have an AI disclosure that it's somehow definitive proof that the game didn't use any AI in its development or in the final product. Steam does not enforce disclosures about all uses and also some devs/pubs lie

I've seen so many folks playing Aniimo lately, likely who aren't aware of the GenAI use in the game. Just a PSA that Aniimo DOES indeed include GenAI in both the promotional material and in game.

the thing about "hey go find this specific type of planet. there isn't one in this system, so just keep burning resources warping around at random dozens of times until you find one" is that in a normal playthrough you have 30 other objectives to work on while you wait for that planet to pop up
