AI STRIPS US OF THE POINT OF BEING HUMAN

AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns Big tech boss tells delegates at Davos that broader global use is essential if technology is to deliver lasting growth

I was present for the birth of the web, the explosion of personal sites, and the blogging revolution, and you know what we never had to do? Beg people to use our shit.

Bandcamp is announcing that they're prohibiting music created wholly or with subtantial use of AI

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.

It rules so hard that this interview got big enough for the NYT to try to do firefighting and that Trans News Network said fuck off we don't owe you column space.

It's that time of year again: GDQ is here!

I've gone on record before and said that it would take something terrible to keep me from going to GDQ, I've been attending every event since 2019! Unfortunately I believe that something terrible is indeed happening.

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

This current Steam Winter sale is one of our best in the last 10 years. 12k units sold and climbing. A huge relief since we just went through an expensive move. On behalf of myself and all the WEG devs, thank you all. 🙏☺️

The IGAs Nomination Committee is officially retracting Debut Game and Game of the Year, awarding both categories to new recipients. Additionally, we are retracting one of the Indie Vanguard recipients.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder “The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.

Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.

3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.

4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.

It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.

Story to come.

EVERYONE GET MORE PASSIONATE AND SELF INDULGENT ABOUT CREATIVITY AND BEING HUMAN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They say Christ gave his life, not for honour but for us

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Hey, there's that thing we all knew was coming.

If you were playing Fortnite, it's time to stop. These companies gotta get the message that there are just some things we won't tolerate just for the sake of entertainment.

you are not strong enough to use linux. oh sure the OS is fine. but you are not prepared for being the throwaway punchline for every third windows user after they complain that copilot won't let them log in now until they write an essay extolling the virtues of doritos

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.

NO TERF WIZARD GAME. NO TERF WIZARD SHOW.

Game Awards last year took place during a videogame strike against AI

The strike wasn’t mentioned or acknowledged despite many VO performers working on the games that are heralded every year and even appearing on stage

This year a game that features AI voiceover gets a podium to accept an award.

I’M LOSING MY SHIT THIS IS SO FUNNY

I forgot to celebrate the one year anniversary of CEO Brian Thompson in his sobriety from alcohol! 🎉 never forget Dec 4 and FREE LUIGI!

Have u ever considered the possibility the reason they hit u with "Gen Z Stare" is you keep saying asinine shit

Y'all think "as a running joke, we are referencing the name of a song we like!" is "brainrot"? Please. You are baby. Exposure to 60 seconds of Dada would kill you instantly. Y'all're the motherfuckers who started fistfights in the audience of Victory Over the Sun (1913) because you "didn't get it"
