Had a lot of fun writing this one!

He kept it on. It was hot.

"What'd you do at work today, honey?"
"Frantically and passionately made out with Tom Kenny."
"..."
"..."
"... Sounds fun."
"Typical day at work."

Yup!

Thanks so much to @richardhorvitz.com, @vivziepop.bsky.social, and everyone on the @helluvaboss.bsky.social team for having me!

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉

A reminder to all voice actors: there is only one thing that will 100% protect your voice from being fed into AI against your will: working union.

An AI rider on a non-union project protects you legally, but only if you have the money to lawyer up to fight it (so multiples of what they pay you)

BIG HOPS Switch Patch 1.0.5 is live. This one fixes the last of the remaining major issues, so if you've been waiting now is a great time to jump in :)

Patch notes pictured:

People will always find excuses not to #Unionize:
- Business is down, unionizing could be risky.
- Things are great, why bother unionizing?

The truth is unionizing is simply about workers supporting workers and ensuring they have a say in what happens next. And that's good anytime.

.....they know.....

BTW it is EXTREMELY common for academic papers to declare Lara Croft the first playable female game character (a very easy fact to debunk). As a grad student I wrote a paper that traced every appearance of this "fact" to a single paper, which is why you don't only engage with academic texts!!

Hi. A dear friend of mine's been abruptly laid off from their job whilst also stuck in medical-bureaucracy limbo—delaying surgery they've spent 1.5 years preparing for.

Marin & Martin took even gnarlier financial hits than I did in the strike. Please help them keep their house.

One of the greatest, Bruce Campbell, announcing he has cancer. Our hearts are with you Bruce, Hail to the King.

People who were dogpiling her without knowing her or her stance on AI were out of line.

My opinion is that that anger should be saved for the giant corpos, not individuals we might disagree with.

I agree, but it's also different when the "pro AI" sentiment is coming from a person vs a giant multibillion dollar corporation.

I think normal people deserve some grace.

Even if this woman were SUPER pro-AI, she doesn't have the power to strengthen this technology's grasp.

If giant corporations aren't shoving AI in our faces, they're probably investigating its use behind the scenes as a cost-saving (see: replacing people) measure.

It's extremely tiring and frustrating and it makes us all a little batty.

Sheryl Lee Ralph: AI threatens creativity in filmmaking Movie star Sheryl Lee Ralph has revealed that she fears the potential impact of AI technology.

That's somewhat fair. I think comparing this to ICE reformation V abolition is hyperbolic.

She HAS expressed interest in having her likeness scanned after her death in the past. I don't know if that reflects her CURRENT stance as that was from a 3-year-old article and people can change their minds.

No. I'm asking you to question whether or not you understand what's happening. I'm saying your eyes and ears might not be perceiving all of the information. And that without that information, you're forming an uninformed opinion.

None of this is an attack on your character as a human being.

Somebody being "content" about this is an assumption about somebody that you don't know.

Who knows. Maybe you're right!

Maybe there really IS somebody on union staff who doesn't like her.

My point is that it's not fair to make that assumption and doing so isn't some sort of an act of goodness.

I don't know. I don't know who makes those decisions either. And that's why I'm not accusing them of something malicious. Because I don't know them. I don't know what the process is by which these decisions are made.

My point is, I'm willing to acknowledge my lack of knowledge.

Can you?

Okay. Name them.

Name the union staff member who did this. Show me that you really know who they are and can attest to what kind of person they are and what their motivation was.

You can't.

You are attributing malice to a person when they might have just done something dumb.

Hanlon's Razor.

Agreed.
