Sacrifice your job for the glorious AI future How tech CEOs use the threat of job loss to distract from how AI is really used against workers

Perplexity’s CEO is just the latest tech leader to tell the public their jobs will be sacrificed on the altar of the glorious AI future.

It’s a compelling narrative, but it distracts us from the real impact of AI: not to take the human out of the loop, but to take away their power and cut their pay

I don't like traditional tutorials, so it makes me happy to see that several play testers have figured out the shotgun jump from this little note left by some ammo.

A ramekin filled with toasted marshmallow and assumed chocolate underneath. It sits on a small plate that has graham crackers arranged around it in a semicircle. A sort of s'mores where the marshmallow and chocolate is melted in the bowl beforehand so the graham crackers can be dipped in it.

The British state getting into bed with Palantir is just incredibly blackpilling, especially since it is being done by a Labour government who are composed of the exact sort of people that Palantir's owners and operators openly say they wish to drive from power forever! Inept self-loathing fools.

The issue is not that it wound up in the final game. The issue is that it was used at all. Using Gen AI is using Gen AI at any stage of the process, and companies keep trying to push our boundary for what is permissible farther and farther with stuff like this. Don't fall for "well it was JUST..."

Word of Piece By Piece (both of them) is still spreading far and wide. This week we were featured in Polygon, GamesRadar and PC Gamer!!
Still feels unreal to me... Not only is my music in a game, but the game is actually successful?? And the Switch version isn't even out yet!

Re: New Spider-Man trailer

There are story aspects in this film that are derived from the comics story called Spider-Man: The Other, written by Peter David, Reginald Hudlin, and J. Michael Straczynski.

Peter, seen below, died last year.

He was rejected by Medicaid. He died in medical debt.
