We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games! Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI. You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:- www.polygon-treehouse.com/no-gen-ai-seal

More 90s #retro #gaming #fanart... Here's a gif of my #StarCraft Zerg Hydralisk model from a few years ago, in the style of the original campaign select screen. Mine includes some updated design elements influenced by SC2, SCG, and SCR, but with the overall vibe of the classic intact, I think.

Using AI to produce writing or art is like asking someone at the gym to lift weights for you. The effort is the point.

Today I learned of James Nasmyth, a 19th century Scottish engineer, scientist and artist who illustrated the moon by looking through a telescope, and then making a photographing detailed plaster models of what he saw. They're incredible! These are all from an 1874 book. #science #scicomm #space

Oh wow, OpenAI actually made the accusation, they're cooked. You can't steal everyone else's IP to train, then turn around and claim someone took it from you. In what world is laundered IP more protected than the original work? This is absolutely going to hurt them in court. 80.lv/articles/ope...

A few renders of my #StarWars ESB AT-ST #3D model from last year. The one that appeared in Empire Strikes Back had some different proportions and details, like longer legs and a shorter cockpit, compared to the better-known RotJ ones.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating without AI have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

This is really shocking: and true. I discovered I'd just been upgraded without consent to an AI-enshittified package that was about £30 a year more expensive. Strongly recommend anyone who has an Office 365 follow the below advice to get rid of it

Trump dismantling measly protections while investing and strengthening the folks that want to replace your— a “median human” as Sam Altman calls you— job with the theft built machine, shows you they never cared about jobs at all. They want to make you irrelevant. www.cnn.com/2025/01/21/t...

OKAY. Here is how to actually turn off Gemini AI for your google workspace! 1) contact google support from admin panel and keep asking for a supervisor/to speak to a person. 2) ask them to enable settings in "Gemini for google workspace" 3) turn it off. I just did this and it worked.

To my fellow Brits, our government's push to make AI a huge part of British commerce threatens our creative livelihoods. A signature may not seem like a lot, but if enough of us stand up, it might make our government consider how they implement new AI policies. www.aitrainingstatement.org

Recent unsealed internal messages from Facebook expose FB 100% knew they trained their GenAi on stolen works. It also shows how concerned FB is that lawmakers listen to rightholders (creatives, academics, etc) of the works they stole. Never stop calling GenAi what it is: Theft!

To every politician/legislator worldwide deciding to give Big Tech and GenAi companies legislative wins, you are siding with thieves who are being exposed in the courts. Also training from ill gotten sources is standard operation of all GenAi Dont bet your careers on thieves. It’s not worth it.
