The question or issue is that no amount of genAI use in any way is acceptable because the tech at its core is based on actual theft. Not some abstract Marxist "exploitation of labour" type theft, but actual literal wholesale massive industrial theft.

Part of what we're struggling with right now is the games industry (and the wider world) does not have a coherent campaign or strategy for tackling AI. Telling people to boycott it is exceedingly difficult when it's pushed down our throats and people perceive it's fulfilling some need of theirs.

On the 14th of November, my friends and I will be doing our annual 24 hour charity gaming marathon raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support. As a team we've managed to raise nearly £25,000 since starting in 2017 and we're hoping to continue in that mission 💜 Hope to see folks there (links below)

In order to better control what you see, we're adding Generative AI disclosure filtering to few more places on the site where it was critically lacking, including our search results page

Search results page with the "No AI" tag selected

i've replaced the licensing terms for the cute fox no AI splash screen with a clean new license: eniko.itch.io/cute-fox-no-... it clarifies the images may not be used for hate speech, and that ensloppified 3rd party tools/dependencies which don't produce slop don't disqualify you from using them

A sleeping fox on top of a red circle crossing out the word AI. Above and below it is hand drawn lettering saying "Made By Humans" and "No generative AI was used in the creation of this work.

I feel it's important to share this again. The internet is so hostile toward creators nowadays. I've seen people have their work stolen, and no longer feel comfortable sharing their creations. We can do better. Let's be supportive to the people that make this a better place! 💞

Literally every problem developers owned by giant publishers face is caused by the giant publishers and if you try and find some reason this isn't the case you're the video game equivalent of a useful idiot

Preserving speedrunning history Since 3 weeks, runs submitted to SRC are no longer openly licensed. If you ever go inactive, they can only be copied with SRC's explicit permission. You own your runs, but you have to act asap to keep them open. Please act now!! thread🧵

Screenshot from src's discord from 2021 saying they're re-instating CC and they thing it's an open platform for use by communities, with no interest in restricting access to any runs.Screenshot from 3 weeks ago where src undoes the CC license and says "you can't copy boards anymore"
