150,000 marched yesterday in London for trans rights. Opened the Sky News app. Scrolled and scrolled. Nothing. BBC News app. Nothing. Guardian app. Nothing. This is what actual silencing looks like.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Boromir from THE LORD OF THE RINGS, holding The One Ring. He thought he could use it for good, but everything done with the ring turns to evil. He was one of the mightiest warriors of middle earth, and he could not resist its powers. Others even mightier fell to the ring. Do you think you are stronger than them? The One Ring is generative AI.

Cute date idea: Job security, decent pay, and a unionised games industry. 🥰 The chair of UKIE @ukieofficial.bsky.social, the trade body for the UK Games Industry thinks job security is good for her, but not for you. Work in games in the UK? Join our union today: iwgb.org.uk/en/join/game...

'We've been a little bit too romantic about the idea that we should have employees and give people long-term job security' is an extraordinary thing for a video games CEO to say on record: aftermath.site/video-game-job...

I know this is a very serious war and I'm not making light of it in any way whatsoever when I ask this. But who is currently working on the co-op flight-sim where one player flies the plane while the other shoots drones with a shotgun, because someone needs to make that.

🔥 Incredible footage of Ukrainian Yak-52 crews in action. Pilots of the 11th Separate Army Aviation Brigade “Kherson” clear the skies of Russian drones.

My user research team told me PvPers keep driving away our PvEers so I asked how many PvEers we have and they said they just buy more advertising to attract new PvEers so I said it sounds like we're just feeding PvEers to PvPers and then our lead designer started crying.

It's the intrinsic fail state of PvPvE games: they need the PvE players to fill lobbies, but those are precisely the players muscled out over time - and any new players end up facing the remaining high-skill PvP players.
