i'm not researchers but i confidently predict ppl who offload onto ai are going to get early onset dementia

I am tapping the sign again as some folks are delving way too far into their hate for 'AI', while that word has had an identity crisis since forever and it has only gotten worse over the last 4 years.

Please read it.

Nearly half of these 100 are from games that were translated into English, btw, and a full half of the top 10 entries were written by translators. Sadly, some of them, like Suikoden 2, Yakuza 0, and Metal Gear Solid 4, blanket credit translation companies instead of listing names of individuals.

one of the things that sets humans apart from other animals is our elevated capacity to use language to exchange valuable information

anyway,

Marketing is manipulation.

Data gathering and selling is intrusion.

Algorithm based media is manipulation via intrusion.

I am tired of being constantly manipulated and intruded upon just to connect to other people and stimulation.

Fundraiser for librarian Luanne James, who stood up to her rightwing library board that demanded she remove kids books with any trace of LBGTQ+ characters or content.

"I will not comply."

They sacked her and cops escorted her out.

She's a hero. This banned author just donated.

Happy cows

It's surreal that I have to state this so bluntly, but: the point is not "mobile games bad, indie good". I would hope OBVIOUSLY. The point is: video games as an entire medium has a long history of interrelating with gambling and you can't effectively analyze any facet while ignoring that history

tech bros who have banished all emotion into a black hole under the guise of rationality: look i made something with feelings

Wikipedia Bans AI-Generated Content “In recent months, more and more administrative reports centered on LLM-related issues, and editors were being overwhelmed.”

NEW: Wikipedia has banned AI-generated content.

why don't our art programs make sounds like mario paint, they should i think

walking around charity shops (thrift stores) with friends.
fun for learning things abt friends, like what kinda fashion style theyre into or what they make of the random trinkets on the shelves.
you probably could do it alone but isnt as fun.
you dont *have* to spend money really.
-no
-yes, I think

You’ll find that every American art industry is pivoting to not making anything, has been for 10-15 years, and there are charts about profit from this that you’re not allowed to argue with. The fake promise of AI has only made this worse. It’s awesome

You know, a long time ago, I gave up on getting into game development because of how bad of an environment it was, and how I would likely not be able to exercise my creativity.
...I see now I made the right call, but I don't exactly feel happy or vindicated by that.
What.
The.
Fuck.

Disney investing in the wrong Sora despite the cry of millions of fans.

I love the shit in the background lol <3

oh my god this is extremely funny

Temp assets should be as obvious as error'd assets

if only there was a way to explore tone and atmosphere in the early stages of production without using AI :(

goated throwback

Seeing the same burial image on social media, others turned to X’s AI assistant Grok to check its veracity. Like Gemini, Grok will breezily assure you the photo is not from Iran at all – although it lands on a different date, disaster and location. The image is “from Rorotan Cemetery in Jakarta, Indonesia – a July 2021 stock photo of Covid mass burials. Not Minab,” it says. In both cases, the AI answers sound sure: they don’t equivocate, and even provide “sources” for the original image, should you choose to check them. Follow the thread to examine those, however, and you’ll begin to hit dead ends: either the image doesn’t appear at all, or the link provided is to a news report that doesn’t exist. For all their impression of clarity and precision, the AIs are simply wrong. The cemetery image, it turns out, is authentic. Researchers have cross referenced the photo of the site with satellite images that confirm its location, and it can be cross-referenced again with dozens more images taken of the same site from slightly different angles, and again with video footage – none of which experts say show signs of tampering or digital manipulation. The “factchecks” by Gemini and Grok are just one example of a tidal wave of AI-generated slop – hallucinated facts, nonsense analysis and faked images – that are engulfing coverage of the Iran war. Experts say it is wasting investigative time and risks atrocities being denied – as well as heralding alarming weaknesses as people increasingly rely on AI summaries for news and information.

To everyone out there who defends and encourages reliance on generative AI: I want you to explain to me how software systems that do this is not just defensible but something good and to be encouraged. Go on. Explain it to me, right now.
