There's a new Amine album today, which is what you SHOULD go listen to, but if you need something chill and meditative later, I've released a free album of generative modular ambient tracks here: soundvision.bandcamp.com/album/7-medi...

People love to laugh these things off as gimmicks but if you take the time to understand, its not that crazy at all. Games aren't magic, they're technology. And nothing in games "just works", it all has to be meticulously built to maintain the illusion. RT helps. www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6Eu...

Maybe we could just be careful with any technology that gives unwarranted power to a privileged group over people and their livelihood?

As a music artist, I want to stay away from AI for creating the visuals that will accompany my music. I know it's easy to get a result and it lets you focus on making music. But so is hiring an illustrator or a graphic designer. How do you feel when someone uses AI-generated music for their videos?

We can only sustainably fail." www.nathalielawhead.com/candybox/mak... about sustainable alternatives to existing in the game industry, and the positive impact of failure. #GameDev

Zelda Williams (the daughter of the great Robin Williams) sure had a lot to say about the “Studio Ghibli style” AI images that have been trending recently. I think those people should read these posts and really think about what they’re doing.
