Reminder: Actors are still on strike for bare minimum guard rails on the use of AI in videogames and we have been for 11 months. We have struck longer and with less resources than our on-camera colleagues.

Why is AI only here to replace people that are criminally underpaid like translators, actors, artists and tour guides?? I've worked as a tour guide during summer vacations and I was paid minimal wage like most people I know in this line of work

I'm writing a short story (well, a pastiche from an author I like actually) about Venezuelan cuisine and you know what?? 90% of search engine results are absolutely useless because it's machine translated garbage, I HATE IT I HATE WHAT PEOPLE DID TO THE INTERNET

Le droit de vote est un droit fondamental, je sais bien que tout le monde se fiche de ce qui se passe en prison, mais là y'a un fascisme évident qui s'exprime et qu'il s'agira de le prendre très au sérieux. On est toustes plus près d'aller en prison que d'être milliardaire, pour rappel.

PREDICTION: Trump puts the IRS and FBI onto Elon Musk. Perhaps even ICE. Musk responds with a scorched Earth approach outlining how he rigged voting machines to elect Trump illegitimately. Chaos reigns. Fox News runs breaking news reports on Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton’s emails.

Dans la septième puissance du monde, des bibliothèques universitaires, asphyxiées par l'austérité budgétaire, sont obligées de la faire la quête pour obtenir de nouveaux ouvrages. Choose France !

side effect of AI-in-higher-ed: having to spend my ONE WILD AND PRECIOUS LIFE googling footnotes for articles that I can't believe I missed off my reading lists only to discover that they aren't, in fact, real articles

Imagine if you were so bad at your job that you completely messed up 79% of the time. But instead of being sacked, your company sacks everyone else, and the government changes the law to give you everyone else’s money.

I keep being asked what graduate writers and game devs can do to break into the industry. Right now actually doing the work you were assigned puts you above SO many other candidates. So do the work.

I teach a game writing class. Students have scripts, worldbuilding docs, treatments, etc due every week About half the class used ChatGPT last semester even though I made it clear using an LLM = an F. When I asked why a studio would ever hire them if their work was just ChatGPT, they seemed stunned

Esto no es bueno, nos indica de nuevo que el ambiente actual vuelve a ser conservador y desde los deparamentos de marketing saben que ponerse la bandera del orgullo les va a traer más problemas que beneficios 💀

I'm looking at reviews _for a thingy_ and I'm happy to see that not only Tinykin is getting played in 2025 (as it should!!!!) but that the players praise its loc and say things like "done by humans and not AI". @fromthevoid.net @splashteam.bsky.social.

READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So whatever else you do, please never stop reading books with kids, and encouraging them to read. Never stop helping them find books to read and love. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #books

I discovered yesterday, in a mass email sent at 3am, that I will not be receiving the roughly £40,000 that my publisher Unbound/Boundless owes me for pre-order sales of The Paradox Paradox. The payment for five years of work, gone. #unboundless

On a le même problème en Belgique, des coupes budgétaires dans les départements de traduction/langues et lettres, surtout en néerlandais faute d'étudiants, et en même temps une pénurie de professeurs de néerlandais.

"If there were justice in the world, Musk would never be able to repair his reputation... Musk’s sojourn in government has revealed severe flaws in his character — a blithe, dehumanizing cruelty, and a deadly incuriosity. This should shape how he’s seen for the rest of his public life."

we desperately need fans to: A. know that AI localization will absolutely ruin their favorite manga, anime, games, and books B. fan outrage over AI use is one of the best and only ways we can fight back. most loc professionals are freelance. we're not union. we have no power. Fans must speak up.

Polite reminder to anyone who needs it today: AI doesn’t “help you to write.” PRACTICE helps you to write.

Open AI’s valuation is at $400 billion. They used about 190,000 books to train their plagiarism bot. Randomly saying 25% of their value comes from that stolen dataset, I think they owe the authors about $526,000 per stolen book.
