They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Reminder that backing a Kickstarter project at the end of a campaign causes a snowball effect that pushes it over its goal. Throwing just a little bit in can have a big effect!

With the announcement of yet another Aniimo closed beta, I feel the need to make this post. Do not support this game. I was part of the Creator Club for Aniimo's 2nd Closed Beta test. Despite the team's claims, there is Generative AI throughout the game and in promotional material. (1/2) #aniimo

They fired so many artists over this too. People who helped make the game iconic were tossed out on the street because the Slop Faucet could do it "decent enough". If you still play Fortnite, you're funding the hyper-acceleration of AI replacing Artists in Gaming

Please find a better source for news than whatever this is. At the best of time this just regurgitates better journalist’s work, at others it can just seem to be making stuff up. A repost button is higher quality journalism than this since it at least consistently cites sources.

With regards to that last repost, reviews can mean a lot to smaller developers, so I'm gonna put out a little call to action. Everyone following me? DO THIS NOW! I'm asking for replies so more folks pick this up, and continue it. Please take this graphic and ask your followers to do the same!
"Goto your Steam™ library

Leave a review for a smaller game you like

Now tell me what it was"

There's a very crudely drawn Steam logo in the middle. In the bottom right, there's an even crudely-er drawn frog, and the sideways text reads "I am a graphic design terrorist"
