As an FYI as well, for those who think the use of genAI in the art may be speculative, the devs behind Aniimo have announced that they're adding genAI driven interactions into the creatures in the game. www.aniimo.com/newslist/det...

I've seen so many folks playing Aniimo lately, likely who aren't aware of the GenAI use in the game. Just a PSA that Aniimo DOES indeed include GenAI in both the promotional material and in game.

If a human did what ChatGPT did, they'd be convicted of conspiracy to commit murder, which can carry a life sentence. It's unconscionable that Canada's legislators are letting OpenAI get away with helping to plan murders. At the very least, it shouldn't be allowed to continue to operate in Canada.

Just when I think I can’t hate OpenAI and Sam Altman any more, new details come out about how ChatGPT helped a shooter plan one of the worst mass shootings in Canadian history in Tumbler Ridge, BC. OpenAI made an explicit decision not to report the user to authorities.

jesus christ. the new president of the university is closing down the biggest, oldest repository of fossils, specimens and artifacts with a single month's notice because I guess, archaeology is too woke or something? where the fuck is it all going to go? into the bin? get mad about it:

I don't even want a fucking "smart" TV, I sure as hell don't want a fridge or anything else important running on software. I don't drive, but I'm consistently shocked at people being okay with software controlling so many aspects of their fucking cars.

So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people. londondaily.com/banksy-funds...

Going to have to skip the stream today. I still got that cold and it's leaving me drained today. It sucks having a sponsored game you need to play and keep getting sidetracked by life. We'll get to Fright Train soon!

Dwarf Fortress co-creator Tarn Adams says he has no need for GenAI, because his artists are bursting with cool, weird ideas like meat biomes and sphincter doors. "[Tolkien] didn’t have a sphincter door. I mean, I don’t think he did… Who knows what’s going on in, like, Minas Morgul though."

The Data Center Guy Wants This Election to be About Trans People So glad I got to speak to Katelyn for the first time about a fantastic piece that really highlights two of the biggest mistakes I fear Democrats are making in 2026, which probably won't matter immediately because gas prices.

discord casually admitting they know that nobody wanted the age verification implemented and trying to be funny about it is seriously something that the pr team should reflect on and really study when they lose a lot of nitro subs in this next week

VRChat is now promoting AI generated worlds. Who knows how many of these are made with AI that we don't know about because there is no tag and the developer didn't say on their personal social media?

Need a breather away from real life for a bit? Chill under the rain and stars on VRChat. Headset not required. Check out our curated list of worlds this week: www.discovervr.chat/rainy-night/

Rest in peace to Richard Harrison, impeccable B-movie master, part of one of the funniest movie endings of all time.

Using AI to bring back the dead is fucking disgusting and I want nothing to do with it.

Netflix's new reality show "Wonka's Golden Ticket" uses AI Gene Wilder as its host. The beloved comedian passed away in 2016, but his voice lives on in AI form. At least Netflix didn't use AI to create the new Oompa Loompas. What do you think of this AI resurrection? Let us know in the comments 👇

We don't hate Microsoft enough. Also, reminder that they're supporters/helping fund a genocide. So if you actually give a shit about people, put your money where your mouth is and stop giving them yours.

I will never, *ever* purchase a game with this 'functionality'.

Apparently the CEO of Hoyo has stated that in the next couple years HoYoverse will “play one of the most pivotal roles in China’s LLM-AI” I straight up don’t know any other game developer making this much of a spectacle out of its AI use. I understand the cultural difference. It’s still alarming.

LittleKuriboh@littlekuriboh.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Anyway here's Mihoyo promoting AI assisted game production including: "Efficiency in Image and Material Generation With very few materials, they can generate character model sheets + 3D models, allowing for the testing of multiple designs and their artistic outcomes." Something to keep an eye on.

Just a reminder. You can't say you're opposed to generative ai being used for creative assets in games. While at the same time knowingly playing games that use generative ai to make creative assets. It's one or the other.

Graveyard keeper 2 is now out, it doesn't have a gen AI disclosure on steam but given how much one of the lead developers seemingly can't live without the stuff I don't trust it.

IggyMaid@iggymaid.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Co-founder of Graveyard Keeper dev Lazy Bear Games regularly posts AI art & asks for help with AI gen code Going as far as feeding his own games art into the slop machine The game itself is from 2018 so it predates the stuff, but they announced a sequel & I expect it to be full of AI-gen slop
