Apparently they had used AI for the autumn sale as well, so this has been company policy for a bit.

Hopefully the backlash causes them to change their mind on AI, but those chances are slim.

Also justโ€ฆ anyone who uses AI to replace creatives nowadays is outing themselves as a bad person/corpo IMO.

GOG now using AI generated images on their store AI continues to be everywhere, and now it's appearing on the GOG store too most recently a big banner for their New Year Sale.

Underrated perk of being an artist + YouTuber is that I occasionally get to draw my avatar as a sinister monster. This one's for Roots Devour, a deep forest eldritch horror sim where you're the monster. It's pretty gruesome, but I can't stop playing it.

tl;dr a streamer partnered by them said a 1950s aesthetic vtuber should support ICE instead of saying fuck ICE.

AdvancedGG responds by saying "just submit a ticket :)" instead of addressing the claims in the partner discord, followed by losers who are like "don't put politics in my discord"

"IN OBSERVANCE & SOLIDARITY". Two black speech bubbles with white text read "HOURLY COMICS DAY IS NOW ON FEB 8TH. CARTOONISTS HONOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. FEB 1 - MAR 1". There is an illustration of a black silhouetted hand raised and holding a pen in the top right, and an illustration of a nib pen and an ink well personified on the bottom right. The nib and ink are bumping fists. A URL at the bottom is "hourlycomicsday.com".

Hourly Comics Day has MOVED!

It's the 20th anniversary and we're taking a stand alongside our Black cartoonist members and friends to demand a change to honor Black History Month- draw your comics on the 8th, not the 1st!

Anyone using and sharing those resistance bird icons need to know that some (or a lot) of them were created with genai. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

To people who want to make imagery that says something; stop using genai. Please! It's their tool. It represents theft, false and unauthentic images, lies, harm, and wrongness.

Between this and Smash JT being allowed into TGAs I need everyone to start thinking about the safety of the people in our industry who are here to make good stuff and just be around each other versus whatever pathetic marketing dollars you think giving these men access to us could make you.

Before speaking with two armed men at the Pretti vigil last night, a man approached & asked if I was going to tell the truth. I said yes. He told me how frustrated he was at the media & the harm itโ€™s causing to his community.

I asked if he wanted to share words for the media on camera, & he did:

STATEMENT FROM MATT MOBERG, CHAPLAIN OF THE
MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES

IF YOU'RE A CHURCH POSTING
PRAYERS FOR PEACE AND UNITY TODAY
WHILE MY CITY BLEEDS IN THE STREET.
MISS ME WITH THAT SOFTNESS
YOU ONLY WEAR
WHEN IT COSTS YOU NOTHING.

DON'T DRESS AVOIDANCE UP AS HOLINESS.

DON'T CALL SILENCE "PEACEMAKING."

DON'T LIGHT A CANDLE AND THINK IT SUBSTITUTES FOR SHOWING UP.

TONIGHT AN ICE AGENT TOOK A PHOTO OF ME NEXT TO MY CAR,
LOOKED ME IN THE EYE AND TOLD ME,
"WE'LL BE SEEING YOU SOON."

NOT METAPHOR.
NOT HYPERBOLE.
A THREAT DRESSED UP IN A BADGE AND A PAYCHECK.

PEACE ISN'T WHAT YOU ASK FOR WHEN THE BOOT IS ALREADY ON SOMEONE'S NECK.
PEACE IS WHAT THE POWERFUL ASK FOR WHEN THEY DON'T WANT TO BE INTERRUPTED.

UNITY ISN'T NEUTRAL.
UNITY THAT REFUSES TO NAME VIOLENCE
IS JUST LOYALTY TO THE ONES HOLDING THE WEAPONS.

STOP USING SCRIPTURE LIKE CHLOROFORM.
STOP CALLING YOUR FEAR "WISDOM."
STOP PRETENDING JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED BECAUSE HE PREACHED GOOD VIBES AND PERSONAL GROWTH.

YOU DON'T GET TO QUOTE SCRIPTURE
LIKE A LULLABY,
WHILE INJUSTICE STAYS WIDE AWAKE.

YOU DON'T GET TO ASK GOD TO
"HEAL THE LAND"
IF YOU WON'T EVEN LOOK AT THE WOUND.

THERE IS A KIND OF PEACE THAT ONLY EXISTS
BECAUSE IT REFUSES TO TELL THE TRUTH.

THAT PEACE IS A LIE. AND LIES DON'T GROW ANYTHING WORTH SAVING.

THE SCRIPTURES YOU LOVE WEREN'T WRITTEN TO KEEP THINGS CALM.
THEY WERE WRITTEN TO SET THINGS RIGHT.
AND SOMETIMES THE MOST FAITHFUL THING YOU CAN DO IS STOP PRAYING AROUND THE PAIN AND START STANDING INSIDE IT.

IF THAT MAKES YOU UNCOMFORTABLE-GOOD.

GROWTH ALWAYS IS.

Their CEO's are in and out of the oval office for photo ops, they're donating mountains of money to him, they're literally getting military titles

Hey, if you need a reason to not support any upcoming Earthworm Jim stuff.....you can go on X, The Torment App and see the creator Doug TenNapel talk about how great AI is and quote tweeting everyone who disagrees.
I wouldn't suggest it though.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

They shot an unarmed mother in the face in front of her wife then called her a โ€œfucking bitchโ€.

They kidnapped a five year old and used them as bait.

They deported a two year old despite a judgeโ€™s orders.

They maced, pistol whipped, and disarmed a nurse legally carrying then shot him nine times.

Unsurprisingly, the "All Lives Matter" crowd from 2020 seem pretty hell-bent on finding reasons to deny the lives of ICE's many victims.

Iโ€™d say keep it as a fun bit of speed tech for the people who figure it out.

People who donโ€™t want to instant U-turn can just avoid using it (if they even realize itโ€™s possible in the first place) while speedrunners will probably do wild and fun things using it.
