I will say this for the Valve announcement: it is refreshing to see a product launch that is just "here's a product that you might want. here's what it is. here's what it does" with absolutely no mention of AI, mysterious future features that might arrive OTA, or some extractive business model.

The Hades II Original Soundtrack, featuring nearly four hours of blood-pumping music by @darrenkorb.bsky.social and various special guests, is now also available for streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal, and more.🎶🌖

Thank you for listening!

Vince Gilligan says he will never use ChatGPT and wasn't thinking about AI when he wrote 'Pluribus'

The only way he'd use ChatGPT is if someone 'held a shotgun to my head and made me do it'

"All major game studios are using generative AI" the fact this is a lie aside, the ones that are using it aren't doing so willingly. It's meddling managers and CEOs with no understanding or attachment to game development forcing it on devs who end up not using anything it outputs anyway.

There’s been a lot of Mythra love recently, so I figured a reorganization of my Mythra Shrine was in order!

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA.

Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

Just want you to know that when I asked Geoff why he gave the silent treatment to an open letter written by his own "future of games" program (& co-signed by 3000+ industry peers), he replied:

"Because that's my show and nobody gets to tell me how I should use my platform". 💀💀💀

"This use of GenAI is fine because VAs signed contracts to relinquish their rights".

Well yeah, have you seen what happens to those who don't want to sign off on this? Can you really call that consent when the alternative is losing (or never getting) a job?

this game has made MILLIONS and they cut corners on fucking VOICE ACTORS? after they already made millions on their last game, which ALSO cut corners on voice actors?

get in the bin

Whatever production time and cost was "saved" by using AI for one of the most human-dependent disciplines in game making was actively obliterated by the act itself, overshadowing the hard work of every single other developer on the project and making this situation impossible to right. WHO KNEW.

For the Arc Raiders AI VA debacle, people are already pointing out that they boast an substantial number of ping-related voice lines.

However, no matter your beliefs on if any AI VA is okay, it's baffling they deemed it acceptable for their story NPCs: www.reddit.com/r/ArcRaiders...

A cartoon crow looks up at a poster for a ballet studio that includes art of 6 ballerinas dancing and a guide of the first 5 ballet feet positions.

The crow marvels that humans can glide on the ground as birds do in the sky.

The crow decides to try dancing too, following the illustrated poses on the poster.

The crow crosses their legs and bounces.
