The definition of 'content' creation. I used to blow off being called a 'content creator'. "Close enough," I'd think, "call me that if you like". I've since learned why creators wiser than me pushed back against that label early on. May we all strive to be more than 'content' creators.

WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK IS THIS. This AI slop account just *made up* an incorrect picture of this game's box and contents. It took me 5 seconds to find a good publicity photo of the actual game. Humans work really hard to make games. Have some fucking respect. (Tideward by @connievdc.bsky.social)

It seems that publishers can ask for their game to rightfully be taken down. “Aviary” / Wingspan has already been taken down. Please contact the proper publishers to request their games to be taken down. We’ll also need help identifying all of the games so the correct people can be informed.

It’s absolutely maddening that someone would take this much advantage of so many creative people against their consent and dare to charge money for it… I’m not a lawyer but this should be outright illegal.

I want to speak a bit more on this particular tool so I'll end with a video. This could apply to any efficiency you're offered in your creative process. They're not all bad, but if you don't question their effect on you or others, you might unintentionally find yourself somewhere you didn't intend.

Really wish @safety.bsky.app would actually review and take action on impersonation and harassment accounts. At least a dozen accounts set up purely to try to impersonate, defame, harass, and embarass me - all reported for obvious harassment. Most still up. suzzzshellll, suzzzzshellkd...

Somewhat ironic that influencer culture has so deeply affected our social behavior at right around the same time that the influencer bubble is bursting. Online interactions have become so many people Performing For Their Imaginary Audience instead of talking to each other like people.

UK Games Expo has banned generative AI art, text, and merchandise across all NEC exhibition halls, bringing the convention in line with broader British tabletop standards. Standholders face removal or bans if their products aren't made by humans. #UKGE
