Here’s hoping midjourney is totally obliterated and everyone working there is sentenced to having tomatoes thrown at them for the rest of their miserable lives. And that we then move on to the next grifter in line.* * not likely to happen but one can hope

There are other newsletter publishers, and I reckon people should use a publisher that doesn’t take Nazi money and spread Nazi views

”Forced” to replay Lies of P to reach the point where I can access the new DLC. It’s a masterpiece and really the only game that has used the soulsborne template to such a large degree while and also managing to sometimes better it.

Deathloop is free on the Epic Games Store. Fantastically creative FPS/immersive sim with a unique puzzle box structure. And excellent art direction, but it's Arkane Lyon, that kinda goes without saying. store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/deat...

What are we even doing here? If you can't take the time to write something, why should I read it. If you can't time to make a movie, why should I watch it? If you can't take the time to design a game with intention, why the eff would I ever waste my time booting it up?

UNBOUND AUTHORS: I’m speaking to a solicitor about our fine mess. If you have ANY correspondence with the company (beyond the “Dear Author” letters we all got) in 2024 about nonpayment or about the company’s financial stability, could I see it? I’m opening my DMs for this (don’t make me regret that)

If you're into something cozy horror, with claymation animation made with actual clay, and a haunting story that's also less than 5 hours long then I'll give The Midnight Walk a reco. I played in standard mode but also made for VR if you're a sicko that bought a PSVR2.

EA are teasing a new Sims thing, but they've misspelled 'peek' as 'peak' so it reads "You peak through the leaves", implying the game is about ejaculating in the bushes? The tagline "Something is growing" doesn't help.

free advice for game developers: try to make the next smash hit video game, such as grand theft auto. if you do, you'll be making more than just a video game – you'll be making millions of dollars

I love how genAI, one of the most expensive and misguided technological endeavours humanity has ever embarked upon, has -- within less than 5 years -- devolved into crude carnival tricks we watch purely to see it fail spectacularly. And it's getting worse as it gets "smarter".

Been thinking about creative processes, how creative direction is realized by constraint: defining what a particular thing is refining that message, and chipping away what it isn't. Moreover, why this feels so at odds with many emerging technologies, and why those technologies feel "anti-creative."

“Industry” is the key word here. The technology does not need to steal artists’ work to be developed and refined. AI can exist without theft, but these business models cannot. As with airbnb and rideshare apps, these are hucksters trying to outpace regulation, not build anything lasting.

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.
