Generative AI video is a great way to preserve video games, in the sense that mirages are a great source of water

submitted 7 days ago • 4 comments

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist. Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

In gamedev, we joke about how we shouldn't care so much because "we ain't curing cancer" so chill, right? But you know what? These last few weeks reminded me that the Arts, esp accessible Art like videogames is incredibly important because games have a big place in sculpting cultural norms.

To all our trans brothers & sisters, non-binary, GNC, genderqueer & two-spirit folks, both in the game industry & outside it, we love you. 🏳️‍⚧️❤️🫂 You are valid. You are worthy of thriving, not just surviving. And we will NEVER stop making games like Bitter Silver full of trans & queer people.

If you're a gaming exec who thinks laying off staff (absent any feeling of responsibility) is a great way to improve projections for an already-profitable company, and communicates it to your remaining staff with words like "leaner", "efficient", and "rightsizing", may I suggest a fuck right off? 😣
