The voice of Master Chief has demanded the White House remove his voice from a social media video he described as “disgusting and juvenile war porn.” https://bit.ly/4rgok0l

I am shocked to learn this is actually underestimating costs, because it ignores the infrastructure costs.

This video is lowballing it.

Assuming all goes well, I don't think people are prepared for how much the next Sonic game is going to put into perspective just what a sorry excuse for a game Frontiers is.

i am asking yet again how it is legal for a company to send me a letter saying "sorry somebody stole all your personal information from us and now they have all of your personal information. sucks to be you! bye!" and then they receive no consequences and it happens again a week later

You saw holes, not because you are this genius with an attention to detail no one else has..

You have something to SAY about this work, with your OWN work.

OPEN that DOOR. Stop seeing gaps in others. Build doors and then a new world for yourself and others.

In an effort to not feel 'cringe' we refuse to treat 'made up' worlds, the same as a 'real' thing

Even though, just like a parent; love, care and an entire LIFE experience brought it to us

We poke holes in it and feel proud and smart and move on

Using spite, when inspiration was right there

I wonder if in storytelling, it's not 'hard' to create a satisfying ending. More so, it's difficult to deliver that to an audience with a content culture where most 'entertainment' in their lives tends to be recycled endlessly.

Artwork is like life. The end leaves gaps but, always creates new doors

Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…

If an artist isn't able to visualise their ideas on paper (or on the screen) without the use of genAI, they are not an artist. I know some artists who aren't capable of visualising things in their head, yet they can still create stunning art. I know others who brainstorm their ideas and compositions with literal scribbles and stick figures, only to end up with a beautifully rendered piece. There is absolutely no excuse for a self-respecting artist to use genAI at any point during their process.

Someone over on Instagram saying that genAI is bad for art, but can still be used by artists who have trouble visualising their ideas.

I had to reply.

move slow and repair things

[SPOILER] the post got deleted by big corp.

Just in case this post gets deleted by big corp.

Absolutely devastated to have to deliver this news.

I have loved working at BuzzFeed so much but I have to stand up for what I believe in.

Please DO NOT send hate to anyone!

If anything changes regarding this, I will let you know.

It's incredible how some people don't understand that everyone has different tastes and different favorite things.
I prefer characters like Blaze, Tangle and Whisper, they are cute but not that girly, like me.

Blaze!

I don't. I just make stuff and hope folks like it. Community support and sponsors pick up the slack, and I don't grow nearly as consistent as some of my contemporaries, but I ultimately choose what I want to do.

I'm not exactly the best example of success on the platform, but I am content.

Holy shit

A picture of PEW poll on global attitude survey, saying the % who rate the morality and ethics of people in their country as good vs bad, where the US has the worst rankings and Canada the best

Americans: we live in a fallen state—embroiled by sin, cheating, lying, and evil. You cannot trust anyone, not even those who claim to know you best

Canadians: I love my neighbors and my friends!

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.

yeah the damage a single bad billionaire can do wildly outstrips any positive impact even a theoretically ideal billionaire can have

more, I think that the kind of person you need to be to become a billionaire tends to select for the worst outcomes in all but the rarest of cases

this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible
