Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images.

This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.

Counterpoint.

Instead, offer free media literacy and critical thinking training to every adult in the UK.

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

This post hit me real hard this morning.

A group of strangers who know what's wrong and how it should be fixed, but it's unsafe to fix it themselves and all the societal structures in place to handle it are failing them

The dorks who insist AI is inevitable, especially in the games industry, deeply underestimate how much Iโ€™ll just shrug and play retro games for the rest of my life.

Like the PS1 & PS2 libraries alone are enough for multiple lifetimes.

Fuck you, make me.

I posted to this effect yesterday BUT ALSO: there will always be a nonzero number of indie game developers who will reject AI. We don't have to reward companies that sell out to the fascist slop machine.

Boromir from THE LORD OF THE RINGS, holding The One Ring. He thought he could use it for good, but everything done with the ring turns to evil. He was one of the mightiest warriors of middle earth, and he could not resist its powers. Others even mightier fell to the ring. Do you think you are stronger than them? The One Ring is generative AI.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.

GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.

But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

We got all the hits:
- purchased by private equity firm
- hid a bunch of layoffs
- invested a bunch of money in AI
- tried to make that money back by ruining the best product it now owned

If you think AI tools are plagiarism machines built by stealing other people's creative output, it get's really hard to go the "we just use it for X" route.

placeholders should be so bad you can't miss them or so adequate it wouldn't matter if they shipped. terrible or legally unusable assets which blend in are liability and sign of negligence

also these placeholders rule

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam

This is where we're at now.

It's got less spyware. It doesn't have a subscription. It has buttons. It generally works and if not is easier to repair. It's not as easy to get hacked. They don't get constant pop ups and ads.

They're fucking right too. Tech has just become rent seeking bloatware.
