Newcastle pubs ban AI art from breweries to protect local creatives As two pubs in Newcastle ban AI art, artists discuss the impact it can have on creatives.

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world."

We lost someone pivotal to the SOT community. Mica was more than a player: she was a friend, crewmate, advocate, and mother to many. I’m honored to have known her and will carry her legacy while supporting her family. Please join us in honoring her.
For Mica. Always💜

Orwell would be laughing his fuckin ass off if he knew that we'd end up buying the cameras and microphones ourselves *and* paying a yearly subscription on top tho 🫠

Alright coming back to my #gamedev network with some open roles. Full remote, and official job posting will be coming next week. This is not in game dev sadly but the work is impactful.

I have 4 open reqs, looking to fill with full-stack engineers, mobile experience is a huge plus.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Monday, but it's beginning to feel festive...

It's so PERFECT 🤩
Lovely to see an artist at work actually making something, even better when they're actually *baking* something!

Thoughts about “AI” Yes it’s: The slop The theft The brainrot The loss of work The crumbling of creator rights The destroying of the environment and infrastructure But it's also the destroying of trust in anything that you’re not seeing with your own eyes right in front of you. Wonder now turned to the narrowing of eyes in immediate scepticism seeing something magical. Questioning the realness of everything from a stilted written apology to profound works by students in school. It feels like a slow poison to creativity and humanity at large.

Morning thoughts about "AI".

Where do we go from here?
