I've written a book! Next Level: Making Games That Make Themselves is the story of procedural generation - the tech behind games like Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress. It's about how it works, the games that use it, and the art and magic behind it. Out May 7th, in bookshops: linktr.ee/next_level 🎲🔮

"RemoveWindowsAI" is a script created by zoicware, available on GitHub, that does exactly what it says: it remove every AI feature in Windows 11. Do what you wish to do with this information. I'm sharing this because some folks are forced to use Win11 at work or other places for any reasons.
A screenshot of repo web page that reads:

Title: Remove Windows Ai

Why?
The current 25H2 build of Windows 11 and future builds will include increasingly more AI features and components. This script aims to remove ALL of these features to improve user experience, privacy and security.

Congratulations to Dr Hervé! Her work on procedural generation and Minecraft has been really inspirational, and will have a long legacy. You should hire her - she’s an incredible researcher but also a seasoned industry game dev too!

Cisgender folk, if you see a before and after comparison picture of a transgender person, I want you to focus in on the eyes. The dead, heavy before eyes vs the bright, life filled after eyes should communicate why we do this.

The creative AI community actually did AI-generated recipes in the 2010s, without LLMs or anything like that. They had a lot of fun with it - Simon Colton and Dan Ventura even cooked a bunch of them with an actual chef at an exhibition, and they had fun silly names made by a little Markov generator.

Anti-trans policies don't just hurt trans people. They hurt anyone who doesn't fit neatly into a pink box or a blue one. And they hurt the rest of us by creating pressure to ensure that we always fit neatly into our box.
