🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.

My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse

It's so cool how a bunch of kids realized there was a genocide in the middle east in 2023 and now suddenly every major company and government is tripping over their own dicks to turn the world into an Orwllian surveillance state so that never happens again.

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.

‘Our industry has been strip-mined’: video game workers protest at The Game Awards Outside the lavish event, workers called out the ‘greed’ in the industry that has left games ‘being sold for parts to make a few people a lot of money’

"Anyone who works in the games industry can identify that our art form is being sold for parts to make a few people a lot of money. And they don’t care about the games. They don’t care about the art. They just want their money."

@alyssamerc.bsky.social

People claiming that "weird layers" being indicative of AI art have obviously never done digital art at length 😂

Excited for the season ehehehehe

Note: this survey was conducted by only asking game devs that were present at GDC 2025. This is not indicative of actual salaries, just those that are able to attend.

(The cost of a ticket to attend is $1,200.)

“Many believe Future Class’s failure will serve as a cogent reminder that allyship without proper support is simply performative.”

I can’t see why anyone would continue to support TGA when it clearly does not support game devs, just a circle jerk for the wealthy.

Undercover Gala Mission

Drifter / Mirage Deadlock

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

New awareness campaign

Very important factor to this

You would be kicked out of any writer’s room in existence if you had the villains celebrating a Great Gatsby-themed party while taking away food benefits from millions of poor people.

Yet again i want to remind everyone that Bill Gates and several other billionaires have invested in mining projects in Greenland that are only accessible because of melted land and sea ice, he and other billionaires are essentially shorting the planet

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

A bunny sits on the branch of a tree at night, sipping tea and looking at the full moon. On the moon, another small bunny is visible, also drinking tea while looking back at the bunny on the tree branch

Daily bunny no.3100 is just a branch away

More Deadlock doodles to learn how to draw them @_@

quick maya screenie and the foliage sheet

bit of a breakdown: i found a neat illustration on pinterest (repost, couldn't find og artist) and liked the shape language. I even made a brush (blue square) in CSP to help build the silhouette :D
