The bill has been opened to feedback. Rather than dooming about the proposal, you can tell them exactly how you feel about the act here. ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet... With how much of an uphill battle Chat Control is having, you should never assume it's worthless to fight these draconian bills.

A world where a twist ending is repurposed as a video title. where a thing's climax has been removed, leaving an advertisment for the gap where it used to be. such things are commonplace in. the twilight zone

Duck AI Slop!! @duckaislop.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

Aniimo Pawprint Studios. NO disclosure, claimed they didn't use any and you wouldn't find any in their game. Players found it and have been calling it out since 2025, "sketch art", promotional material and in-game. -y

twitter thread from AngoraZailia, the first post asys "Sadly, as much fun as I was having in Aniimo, I can't comfortably continue to play or support this game since there is some really blatant AI use going on here. Like... what even is this cry emoji"
With two pictures of an in-game conveyor belt and another of a box with weird smudges and markings on it.
The quoted post continues to say, "A lot of folks are discovering Aniimo again after the Game Awards. I was in the first beta and just gonna remind folks that its full of AI models and such sad tear emoji. Still sad about it."

An "art" sketch that is clearly run through gen-ai or is entirely, red circles are over the odd parts that don't make sense in a line art sketch. It's of a playground slide with heavy inconsistencies.

Omg you unlocked a memory. I don’t remember much about that film except thinking why did they cast the most miserable sounding actor to narrate this quirky kids film

Events are expensive to travel to, tickets are pricey, and sometimes they only have a few talks... I wanted to put together something with a huge range of sessions across games and adjacent. With useful information, networking, advice and feedback... Entirely online! #games #gamedev #indiedev

This is an Ai image, but the sentiment remains true. There was an entire artisan class throughout history and across cultures. The boot of capitalism is why this no longer exists and we only have utilitarian slop that barely functions

There's so much to take away from this You adopted AI because you wanted to replace human workers. AI charges per usage, and because it's so inaccurate you have to use it several times to get anywhere- if you ever bother to notice It's wrong. So if it's expensive and inaccurate why are you using it

Got an hour to spare today or tomorrow? Leave some kind comments on things you enjoy. Tell a developer they're doing a great job, or let an artist know their work is incredible. It can make a big difference in someone's day, trust me.
