I'm absolutely in awe how we don't have a representative government anymore.

It takes 30 days to grow a radish. Also 2/3 of the country is already in or entering winter.

Everything about gaming right now feels like it is determined to drive me away as a consumer and a creator.

Blue-collar crime, maybe.
White-collar crime? That never shows up on cameras.

Because the press
A) Wants to still have access to the WH, because ratings
B) Have owners who are cool with the fascism and slop
C) Are terrified that even the tiniest of Trump criticism will be met with some MAGAn with an assault rifle in their lobby
D) is going with a combo of the above

I think - and stop me if I'm in error there - he just talked himself out of getting the money.

Maybe he wants to lose this deal. Maybe he wants to cry victim tears that "he got sabotaged by woke" so he can walk away from something he knows deep down he fucked up.

I donโ€™t know if thereโ€™s a more perfect illustration of the utter fucking nonsense that creative pollution by AI will produce than this choice to illustrate the power of Paramountโ€™s new โ€œlocalizationโ€ and โ€œcustomizationโ€ technology by face-swapping Brad Pitt into the lead role of GET OUT

Remember those times i said we were headed for an epistemic crisis because bad people were gonna use deepfakes to make propaganda & conspiracy theories & destabilize consensus reality-making & how the central paradigm of "generative AI" enables, encourages, & was indeed built on this premise?

Yeah.

A tweet by Mark Kretschmann showing two photos of the xAI office on Grokipedia release day. The office is filled with small camping tents set up between desks and along hallways, suggesting that engineers have been sleeping there while working late. The caption notes itโ€™s early morning and the engineers are still in their tents, joking that a good nightโ€™s sleep does wonders.

Absolutely obsessed with framing your employees sleeping on the floor as a humble brag

โ€œLook how hard my team worksโ€ no dude youโ€™re just bad at project management.

The X-Files, even in their most daffy, unhinged conspiratorial moments, never descended to this level of unhinged lunacy.

I donโ€™t talk about it much because the situation doesnโ€™t really change but itโ€™s still insane to me what an enormous amount of really talented game developers are out of work. just whole studios worth of incredible people, often people who worked on beloved games, unemployed.
