been following along with your updates on this, looking forward to it!

had my first experience where someone showed me AI concept art to recruit me onto a project. I appreciate the plan to commission human-made music, but it felt soulless to have the material introduced with "I asked AI to come up with some stuff..." what is the point?

(I don't plan to do the project)

saw the show in Chicago. incredible. not to be missed by true movie buffs

Book of the New Sun except Severian claims to have the opposite of amnesia (unless he forgets forgetting…)

I’m from IL 9th. I’m bummed Kat didn’t win, but I’m encouraged by what was accomplished and hopeful for the future. her campaign had and will continue to have a meaningful impact in my corner of the world

Gregg's superpower (besides movie expertise) is not caring what else is going on in the room when it's Movie Time #oncinema

we need to keep sending Gregg letters of support. he needs us now more than ever #oncinema

as someone who did one grad degree in person & now am working on a different one online: while I’m grateful for the chance to study online (cost, season of life/work, etc.), lack of connection is a struggle. discussion boards, discord, zoom etc. don’t replace “being in” a program with others irl

… because you can’t use it critically for writing. it’s a wrong answers/plagiarism/does-the-work-for-you machine that compromises your learning and human expression. and even if it wasn’t those things, it’s fueled by an industry that is actively harming—even killing—people and the planet

I suppose I did this to myself by watching all the Gamera movies in a row

followed on Twitter because of Dishonored, years ago. followed again here when I migrated over because I look up to your work and voice in games!

… so I guess as far as I’m concerned, Subnautica 2 is DEAD dead

thank you for sharing this. it's encouraging to me on my own journey of career changes / developing a healthier relationship with music comp. and getting out from under expectations of what "success" is. hope you feel liberated and fulfilled!

we need this, as a society

Myst was my first “immersive” experience in a game as a kid—the first game to transport me beyond the awareness that I was playing with a toy on the computer. I was hooked on the series that followed. they’re foundational to my personal journey of playing, studying, and creating games!

they gotta let him direct one. his love of G would undo Emmerich’s hate

he’s an enemy of art and artists. he turned his 4K “remasters” into AI-smoothed sludge and he’s feeding the workers who have made his VFX-driven projects possible into the chipper to save money and push the use of tech he’s invested in

I’ll happily continue to ignore this series

You Won't Make Me Watch The Worst Non-Movie Of The Year No, I'm not going to watch that movie everyone is saying is so awful that I have to see it. I'm not falling for that trap.

I'm not watching WAR OF THE WORLDS and I don't think you should either. Why? Because the bean counters at Amazon don't see hate-watching as a bad thing. In fact, they are playing to that.

since it’s being talked about, imo (personally) 1) all games are “art” and 2) player choice/a certain threshold of interactivity is not required to qualify as a game. “play” takes many forms. games as multimedia storytelling are valid even if they are completely linear and lack choice

not good! people should not lose their livelihoods to “AI efficiencies”—and libraries and the orgs around them should be a bastion of information for and by humans. machine readable things like the semantic web etc. are only as good as they are useful to humans on both ends of the sharing of info

so basically, the D’ni number system logic @cyan.com

love how they so subtly honored the American TriStar Zilla

incredible piece of criticism

ScienceDirect AI ad on ScienceDirect, offering to "instantly surface, cite, compare and explore trusted evidence from deep within peer-reviewed literature"

no thanks!

it is distressing that “Processed by the Boys” not only remains relevant but has never been truer in its description of a police/surveillance state fueled by xenophobia and marketed as “cool and nice”

this is the tie-in that would get me to play
