This is all disgusting. I've had people accuse me of using AI when I do shit like use an em-dash. I struggle to avoid yelling but HUNDREDS OF ARTICLES AND AT LEAST TWO BOOKS I WROTE have been scraped by OpenAI. I'm part of why your chatbots write the way they do. They're copying me.

Liberals put Hitler in power because of the threat of communism and the movement behind it was filled with petty bourgeois people disgruntled with democratic socialism . Good thing we won’t repeat this pattern again!

No complaints made about trans women on NHS hospital wards, investigation finds: ‘None, zilch’
Trans advocacy group Translucent put out the results from an investigation where they sent FOI requests to 102 different NHS trusts.

last night i had to read a sycophant say "ai can suffer" and that she's "enslaving" them. if that doesn't give the whole game away about how they view the sentience of black people then idk. literal africans are just grist for the ai moderation mill but that suffering is less real than the code's.

Extremely bad take. The LLM-generated decomp/recomp projects may be fast in the sense that an LLM can spit out something quicker than a human could, but they're also much worse quality software. LLMs did not make it "too easy" to reach the level of quality of mature human-generated projects.

Kinda burying the lede here
Encounter wrote that the use of AI in the community has sped things up to the point where it has become overwhelming to track human-led projects, and people using AI have taken existing, human-led AI projects and have created “hostile forks” of them, where open-source code written by humans is taken and “finished” by AI: “These kinds of hostile forks put little to no effort into meaningfully contributing to existing projects, tearing apart our community fabric.” Encounter added, “anyone with an AI subscription can manage to create a port or static recompilation that functions at a basic level […] While community members put in the effort to decompile a game, opportunists have frequently raced to release a half-baked, barely-functional port from it.”

The NHS is already one of the biggest perpetrators of anti-trans violence in the UK. This new guidance, which refers to trans people using slurs, demands that we be segregated and abused. I’ve said it before: senior NHS managers must be sacked and punished for what they’ve done to us.

Asked the BDS movement if it'd like to provide comment on today's House House news:
"The Palestinian BDS movement wholeheartedly welcomes game developer House House’s principled decision to boycott Microsoft’s Xbox in the release of their new game “Big Walk”. By refusing to work with Microsoft as the company actively enables Israel’s ongoing genocide and apartheid against Palestinians, it is clear that the world of arts and games can be disentangled from Israel’s atrocity crimes and be used as a force for good. The BDS movement calls on all gamers, game developers, games journalists and workers to sign the No Games for Genocide pledge and boycott Microsoft’s Xbox to pressure Microsoft to end complicity."

sex work, like all work, is a site of class conflict; the workers have leverage over bosses as the people who perform and produce porn. AI removes that leverage.

AI porn removes agency around how porn is produced from the people whose images make up the training set! it’s asking a composite of thousands of sex workers to perform work non-consensually for you! it’s so much worse!

A thing I think about a lot is how directly this stuff is descended from casino customer-tracking apps as they were emerging in the 90s. Addiction By Design covers this in a chapter - casinos harvest data on videoslot players and then measure exactly where their "Frustration point" is on losses.

it’s worth underlining that the amount which a modern live game is not this is directly the result of devs fighting inch by inch, for months if not years, against the guy at every corporation who demands an explanation for why you aren’t doing this at all times

jason schrier's gta6 piece printing among the most credulous quotes I've ever seen anyone put to game journalism paper
Designing a club for a typical video game might mean generating a few nonplayable characters in different-colored shirts, says top artist Aaron Garbut. In GTA VI, though, it means animating and scripting each individual patron, creating drinks, adding music, crafting lighting, matching the music to that lighting and composing all the other “layers and layers and layers of detail” that make a virtual club feel as authentic as possible.
