If you're an indie dev and feel weird about having to market your game and ask/prompt for reviews I ask you to have a mere fraction of the persistence of the dental clinic that has sent me three texts asking me to leave them a review since they pulled a wisdom tooth out three hours ago

Iโ€™m not a business genius or anything but if you shed 1800 jobs in three years, while owning one of the most popular entertainment products in history and the tool used to make it, maybe there are other questions to be asked somewhere.

A blue marker drawing of the artist within a hand mirror. The artist purposely only drew a portion of their face, with their eyes as the focal point. They have messy hair and glasses. The mirror is being held up in a pencil bag. Written around the mirror's border in small dark font that nearly blends into the border is "i'm tired i don't want to do anything any more" with a rounded arrow pointing to the next sentence "i need to do something i can't waste my life" with another arrow pointing to the original sentence.

if the US government logs these trees at the rate / quantity they're proposing, we'll lose one of the last old-growth forests. there's no coming back from that. if you have five minutes to leave a comment pushing back against the BLM, please do; there's a guide to that below.

A peaceful illustration of a young witch (Samar from the game Spirit Swap: Lofi beats to match-3 to) with pink horns and over the ear headphones, sitting on their bed in front of a big window. The window is surrounded by pothos vines and witchy knickknacks, and her Familiar, a pink round Frog with a unicorn horn, sleeps happily loafing next to her.

Screenshot of a Wall Street Journal opinion article titled โ€œA Guaranteed Income Wonโ€™t Stop People From Wanting to Work,โ€ by Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo. A subheading says evidence from programs around the world suggests basic income does not make recipients lazier. Below the headline is a photo of several women sitting outdoors at a table working.

"Brb"
- quick but boring
- reminiscent of a bygone era
- allows only a brief break

"____ WILL RETURN IN AVENGERS DOOMSDAY"
- descriptive, clear, current
- confident certainty yet undefined expectations - take as long as you want
- impossible to refute until the recipient watches Avengers Doomsday

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.
