it is very important to me that the future of independent games remains driven by amazingly creative people at its core, coming together to create art that we celebrate every year. as someone trusted to help jury this year's IGF, i stand by this statement after much internal discussion:

This year's IGF entries have been incredible. We've been lucky to play games that surprise, connect, and challenge us, and we're excited to vote for our favorites.

Unfortunately, there has also been a significant increase in the number of submitted games developed with generative AI tools. This has set off some fairly intense discussion and disagreement across the judge and jury pools, and at this point there is no universal consensus on what (if anything) is to be done.

The IGF has affirmed that we may cast our votes according to our own tastes and values. But we, a contingent of IGF jurors, feel that this trend and the games embracing it deserve stronger pushback than a vote in silence.

While IGF leadership has approved the release of this statement, it's important to note that we do not speak for IGF as an organization, or for all IGF jury members. Many jurors had differing perspectives and significant reservations about this statement. Some jurists additionally voiced concern about their ability to safely sign without professional blowback, and we do not intend this letter to serve as a censure of those who were unable to sign.

Above all: Our goal is to state solidarity with those who despair over the future of their art, their craft, and their industry—including those who have experimented with these tools in the past, but who now believe they are not in our best interest.

We know that change does not come at the individual level, but as independent developers, we also know firsthand the value of pushing back on what an industry has deemed "inevitable." As jurists, we feel a responsibility to push past defeatism and aspire to a higher ideal.

The future is not yet settled. You are not alone. We can stand together.We, the undersigned IGF jury members, believe the following:

1. That generative AI has these negative effects:
Ecological harms at community and planetary levels
Economic harms to working developers and artists
Cognitive and psychological harms to its users
Harm to the increasingly fragile information landscape
Harms to labor and worker power in creative fields

2. That these harms do not depend on what is generated, be it music or writing, art or VO, marketing assets or code.

3. That AI-generated code is not an exception to these harms. Programming is a creative discipline whose labour deserves the same respect we extend to any part of making a game. This extends to the past work used to train these models without the creators' consent.

4. Finally, that the use of these tools is neither a foregone conclusion in our industry nor that their adoption has been wholly voluntary. We stand in solidarity not only with those developers who have the freedom to unilaterally reject them, but also with those who have been compelled by their employers to adopt their use, those working to establish or improve their workplace policies, and especially with those in positions of precarity who are so often those most pressured to abandon their values.

For these reasons, this year we are declining to vote for any game that uses generative AI in any capacity. We urge the IGF to adopt a strong anti-AI policy for future years that disallows games containing any AI-generated work.

Le gouvernement augmente le SMIC de 7€ net par mois et en fait tout un événement. (SMIC actuel 1478€, serait mécaniquement passé autour de 1495€ au 1er janvier avec l'inflation) C'est même plus des miettes, on nous propose à peine de lécher une assiette vide

Comme depuis des années et des années, chaque "expérience" d'un revenu universel / salaire à vie / peu importe le nom donne le même résultat : ça marche, les gens continuent de bosser / produire / contribuer à la société etc. On a vu des dizaines d'articles similaires, tjs la même chose.

“This study confirms growing evidence that we and others have long presented: there is no evidence that Basic Income reduces economic and labour market activity,” he told CNN. “On the contrary, it gives workers the economic security to take good risks and avoid bad ones in their working lives.”

Generally we think of alt-text as the domain of those with accessibility needs. However alt-text is useful for many reasons, which benefit your viewers, as well as you, the creator!

An infographic. There are six panels.

1. "Slow internet. Alt text is shown in place of unloaded images." a drawing shows a phone with poor signal, and alt text is visible where the image should have loaded.

2. "Findabillity. Alt text helps to search content." A drawing shows someone searching 'dog with banana' and a post is shown underneath without the words 'dog' or 'banana'. It is implied to be part of the alt text.

3. "Screen readers. Alt is read out to people using text-to-speech software". There is a drawing of the output a screen-reader would show when viewing an image with alt text on bluesky.

4. "Translation. Alt text can be translated". A drawing shows a post being translated. The alt text is also translated into german.

5. "Readability. Text in images can be made legible" There is a drawing of some truly awful handwriting inside a speech bubble. The alt text clarifies what the text is supposed to say.

6. "Disambiguation. Description helps clarify intent." There is a drawing of a post with a picture of a creature. This is styled after the famous optical illusion of a rabbit and a duck. The alt text clarifies that the animal is a rabbit. It definitely looks more like a duck.

Les élèves : - Capacité à se rouler en boule et à dormir n’importe où - Veulent fermer les portes ouvertes et ouvrir les portes fermées - Font tomber tous les objets à leur portée - Baillent ostensiblement - Ont du mal à comprendre qu’on ne s’occupe pas d’eux Les élèves sont des chats.

Rappel : le gaz lacrymogène (gaz CS) est un gaz de combat. Il est donc prohibé par les conventions internationales dans les guerres (il est par donc interdit à l'armée français de l'utiliser contre les ennemis de notre pays). Mais employé par la police contre sa propre population...

En vrai, on va dire les termes. A Toulouse aujourd'hui, l'emploi sans aucune nécessité de gaz lacrymogènes très concentrés sur un boulevard dont il était impossible de sortir doit impérativement entraîner le limogeage du préfet dans l'attente de poursuites pénales. L'intersyndicale réclamera sa tête
