I need @bioware.bsky.social and #electronicarts to understand with the closure of BioWare, I would never, ever, ever buy any Mass Effect or Dragon Age merch from them again. I don’t care if it’s holiday sales, N7 Day, or 95% off, if I ever wanted any series stuff now it’ll be from Etsy creators
Fine group of folks doing a documentary on BioWare, here. They flew me all the way from Australia to Edmonton to interview me for the project, and were a delight. Really looking forward to seeing how this shapes up. Check it out at www.massiveeffect.ca

((when can i start complaining that we didn't pass the billionaire tax in california. when can i start complaining that washington passed a biological gender in school sports law which if that wasn't bad enough permits gym teachers to check children's genitals))

The "people" who make AI slop are an existential threat to my livelihood. What's that? No, no, haha, not because they make things anyone would ever buy. No. They just make so much garbage it drowns out everything else.

I thought of like four jokes but being fully serious this is the kinda stuff sex workers have been warning about for a long time and a sign that things will be getting much worse if not course corrected in the western world. It won’t matter who you vote in when things like this get passed

they do that when they're not hacked, too. makes it very tricky to detect
CNN@cnn.com · 2w agoThe hardware underpinning major AI models can be hacked so that chatbots provide faulty and dangerous answers to questions from users, according to new research shared exclusively with CNN. https://cnn.it/3W9TI6N
Y'all! Don't go into a streamer's live stream and shout about a recent celebrity death!! I don't know why we have to say this over and over again!! It is a super shitty thing to do! They are live! Let them find out after stream when they have the space for it!
It always comes back to this for me; if AI was so good, such a disclosure would be a selling point. If AI was everything these slop jockeys said it was, they should be proud to let people know their game was AI made. But the proof is in the pudding, and they can't stand that people don't want it.

dennis hastert was a mass child Rapist and it's awesome he died. i hope it hurt.
CBS Philadelphia@cbsphiladelphia.bsky.social · last mo.Dennis Hastert — the former House speaker who was later sentenced to prison time over hush money payments made to cover up sexual abuse of teen boys — has died at age 84.
They fired so many artists over this too. People who helped make the game iconic were tossed out on the street because the Slop Faucet could do it "decent enough". If you still play Fortnite, you're funding the hyper-acceleration of AI replacing Artists in Gaming

🎯🎯🎯🎯 Every study initiated on the subject makes it clear that the most effective, cheapest (yes, CHEAPEST, most inexpensive, highest return on investment) forms of aid are direct cash payments with zero means testing, and on-request right-to-housing. These are just facts.
A.R. Moxon@juliusgoat.bsky.social · 2mo agoIf you object to public-funded housing of homeless people, in the end the objection cannot be the cost, because we pay a premium to be cruel to homeless people. At the bottom of the objection will always sit dehumanizing cruelty and a desire for eradication.

Emoria 🏳️⚧️ - my trans books are so gay@emoria.bsky.social · 2mo agoHey, you, trans person reading this. You kick ass. Share why.
I would object to LLMs even if they weren't planet destroying plagiarism-based bullshit engines because students need to learn core skills and how to do the work themselves. Also, they are planet destroying plagiarism-based bullshit engines that give answer-shaped nonsense.
Thomas Lecaque@tlecaque.bsky.social · 2mo agoNo undergrad should be using an LLM and it's absurdly irresponsible to suggest otherwise.
Watching the new Harry Potter series is a clear signal that you'll support JK Rowling no matter how many lives she takes. It shows that holocaust denial and destroying human rights groups isn't a deal-breaker for you. It has never been easier to take the right side of history.
Vita Ayala@definitelyvita.bsky.social · 2mo agoI genuinely am begging people not to watch the new HP show. Like, also don't buy any branded stuff - she makes money off all that. But especially don't watch the damn show.
people who use ai for businesses baffle me. do they not read what these produce? do they not think this is decieving customers? it makes tou look lazy and i think you deserve to fail as a business
FYI the HUGE number of AI slop at GamesCom's opening night live is not a sign that the industry has normalized AI. It's a ploy to make you believe that. These games are all by the same 3 or 4 publishers. This is a concerted effort to make consumers accept AI.

🚨 The archived version of the suppressed Amnesty report into the anti-trans network operating to dismantle human rights in the UK has been "excluded" from the Wayback Machine. JKR is working very hard to scrub its existence from the eyes of the public. Thankfully, I kept screenshots.
I cannot stress enough how incredible the music is in “People of Note” Like HOLY CRAP I had to pause for a second and just vibe to battle music here.
So much right wing grievance exists to shield corporate interests, if you're angry at journalists and critics, if you're blaming them, you're not even identifying the problem. Corporations are very happy to have these low information/high anger parties protecting their interests from critics.
