I have nothing nice to say about people who scrape data without people’s knowledge or consent especially when they say it’s “just for fun :)” just die.

If you stream, you may wanna toggle this off. Not that it probably matters cos these cunts will train their fascist machine regardless. But figured you'd like to know, at least.

I didn’t even see this had been announced. I was lead writer on this one! And Saber replaced me with ChatGPT midway through development. All the passenger voices were AI too. Either they changed direction at some point or they’re not disclosing it on Steam

It will be worse than this! Most websites will be forced to ask you to send your ID to a third party surveillance service, adding a credit card won't be enough for most. Bluesky asks for your *social security number* if you live in Texas now, due to this shit. Call in, and kill it.

Please leave a comment telling the government that you DO NOT want Medicaid tied to a work requirement and why that is unfair, especially for disabled people. Begging you all to take 2 minutes to do this please.

Unions are a great way to help developers, but how can regular fans help? Just remember the one-two punch! 1. Support games developed by unionized devs! (An easy way to find out is to look up Studio+Union) 3. Circulate pro-union material (like this post) and keep the conversation alive!

Regurgitative AI continues to be so accepted and beloved that companies feel a need to quietly violate everyone’s consent with it. What a popular, ethical, exciting lake of poison it is!

Hey y'all, I wanted give people a heads-up that Mike Z is still working on the Avatar Legends dev team, for anyone who wanted to know before deciding whether to buy/support the game. (If you don't know who that is or need a refresher, here's the Kotaku article: kotaku.com/workers-leav...)

Xbox’s decision to axe publishing agreements with IOI, Romero Games, and Avalanche feels like an abuse of power. Basically stringing along and then undermining your competitors!

60% drop in reviews if people even smell AI on your game - full supports the investors, developers, and publishers that took a hard "no gen-AI" stance, despite grifters' proclamations that they were "going to be left behind".

Someone actually crunched the numbers, and using GenAI can decrease reviews for indie game on Steam (a useful proxy stat for sales) by as much as *58%* 🤖

hello my fellow podcasters, Audacity is running a survey and as you'd expect, there are AI questions on there! Very leading questions, at that! Tell them you do not need AI baked into this useful recording/editing software! thank you! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

"After months of fighting to have our voices heard, this is a moment to celebrate. The judgment shows that even against a company with Rockstar’s resources, workers can stand together and demand accountability." We won't back down in our fight for justice. Every game worker deserves a union. ✊

regardless if you are for or against using AI.. this is common sense. Let them disclose what they do..

UK folks, let's jump on this AI regulation petition the Society of Authors emailed out! It's an actual parliament one so the government HAS to respond if it reaches the signature threshold. It calls for regulations to make AI developers disclose copyrighted works trained on. Sign & repost!! ❤️

Hey! This will probably get me in trouble but we should normalize talking about salaries. At my last job, I was paid $140K. I felt underpaid, but we were a small indie team and I was working with friends. When I found out one of the other engineers was getting paid half that, I was furious.

David Lindsey Pittman@dphrygian.com · 2mo ago

Just gonna put it here publicly so I can reference it in the future and not waste time: My starting rate is $120/hr (or $20000/mo). For friends, or for games I really want to work on, I'll go down to $90/hr (or $15000/mo). My salary is lower but then you gotta cover healthcare/taxes.

People highlight those leaving the industry and those trying to break in, but I also think an unspoken part of this is even the 2/3 still working are in a worse state; some being overworked to take on the duties of those cut or forced into lower paying unstable contracts with less benefits.
