This is also why I am opposed to AI as a political project. It allows the control of the much by the very few. You could solve every other problem with it, slop, environmental impact, code quality, etc. You could compensate those stolen from to make it. It would still reduce worker power.

hey do you want to see a bunch of people making little props and puppets in a lineage of craft dating back to 2000 BCE and using their free will to tell stories about puppet sex and rent control at the end of the world?

"Good praxis" does not mean everyone confirming to exactly your moral code on every topic, nor does it mean them rolling over the second you bust out social justice terms to prove you're the right one
This is heartbreaking and so representative of the way that I think we (specifically queer folks) become so embroiled in wars of righteousness online over conflicting needs that we ruin each others' lives. "Community" is not trying to destroy and demand total obsequience in conflict.

what's up everyone, welcome to my channel today we're gonna be making Forbidden Pourover,
Centuries ahead of its time, Giovanni Battista Bracelli's "Bizzarie di Varie Figure" (1624) depicts figures made from a range of objects, mostly abstract — cubes, rings, squares — but also such things as rackets, screws, and braided hair. More here: publicdomainreview.org/collection/b...

We've just incurred a $7,500 CAD bill to do radon mitigation and replace our broken sump pump, because we hate lung cancer and flooded basements. Now would be a really wonderful time for folks to buy some of my writing or send me a few bucks for because you like what I do! ko-fi.com/argylewerewolf

Lynda Barry did not squeeze your heart and simultaneously explain the point of all art with the barest of line drawings so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

Had a blast talking the weirdness of community management with Brendan and Nic. We were also plagued by a tuba in the background for most of the recording. Listen for honks and blaseball

This is the best explanation for why this game means so much to me. I'm deeply invested in a continuation of a story that captured my imagination 30 years ago, but what's made me a participant, rather than a consumer, is the desolate romance of a truck abandoned on a hill.

Genuinely, this concern about AI is one of the reasons why I think having friction in video games is good and why it's increasingly important to have games that simply exist instead of catering to our expectations. Reposting this message from Kojima about "pre-digested" art:
Andrew Hinton 😷❤️@andrewhinton.bsky.social · 6mo ago“The Al is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you”
