All I’ll say: Current/future working actors deserve the most foolproof & future-proof protections we can possibly negotiate. Full stop. Except it isn’t a full stop. Legislators are trying right now to take away state AI & labor protections. We cannot assume we’ll always be able to count on these.

I wish more cisgender people could understand the existential horror of just being a transgender person in society.

Since the term AI has been poisoned by generative world-burning stuff, we're going to have to go back to calling video game AI routines "the computer." I couldn't beat the final boss because the computer was being cheap, etc.

The best time to boycott Microsoft was when BDS called for it, the next best time is now

I know most of you who follow me are aware of BDS, but I also know a few of you who have bought Doom or are on Game Pass etc and I’d really like you to consider stopping giving MS your money as much as possible. BDS is provoking a response. It matters.

your regular reminder that buying Harry Potter stuff gives money to Rowling and she uses that money directly and in large quantities to fund attacks on trans people no ethical consumption under capitalism and all but “don’t buy Potter stuff” is an extremely easy baseline to follow

The static camera areas in Clair Obscur are breathtaking, and I’m ready to declare the world ready for a return to PSX-style static camera console RPGs.

Fucking hell. I know nobody’s in greasy overalls for you to fetishise, Labour, but this is still an industry full of working people on marginal incomes that you are voluntarily destroying, you dumb tech-fetishising goons. You just sold us for corporate strip-mining. Up the workers.

I think we need to start being very honest about how much money it costs to make indie games! Looking at Exped 33 and expecting the team could (and should) be working with anything less than a few million in funding suggests that indies should not hope to be paid a living wage to make games.

The thing that most infuriates me here (and there's a lot to choose from) is the way Altman has created a massive crisis in higher education that didn't need to exist and then purports to sell us a solution.

Richard Dawkins, Elon Musk, the list goes on. These people weren't exactly great before, but Twitter started and then clearly accelerated a staggering radicalisation process for them all. We're paying the price for elites who can't log off.

The right-wing attack on universities and the widespread use of ChatGPT to replace thinking and writing are two sides of the same relentless assault on what the Greeks called paideia: the education and development of citizens as ethical beings engaged in their communities.

I guarantee you’re a better writer than ChatGPT. Never butcher your own writing or relinquish your own voice to put your name on the dead-eyed, mechanical hallucinations of a bunch of 1s and 0s. People who know good writing and AI have no trouble recognizing AI-generated garbage.

"Employers for television, film, animation, & commercials agree actors deserve AI protections." Heck, employers in video games agree with that! 205 (and rising) games have signed Interim Agreement contracts. So it's not even everybody in the VG industry holding on to outrageous AI demands.

A world historical crime, taking place in full view, with the perpetrators so convinced of their impunity that they can brag about genocidal intent, and it’s hard not to agree with their calculation that no one will stop them and no one will be held accountable
