Well, I guess Electronic Arts belongs to Saudi Arabia, private equity, and Jared Kushner now. https://kotaku.com/electronic-arts-officially-belongs-saudi-arabia-jared-kushner-now-2000721666

Over the past 2 months I've been working on a stream overlay for my @critter.garden streams implenented in @godotengine.org, and last night I finally got animated emotes working which has been the biggest hurdle to making the app usable on stream!

Fuck AI and all of models that was created without consent from people who made that data. Few days ago we updated our contributor guidelines with total ban on AI generated code.

i still currently believe that free and open-source software bundled with self-hosted options are the only sustainable path forward for content creators longterm we should be educating and sharing knowledge on these tools now more than ever

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

Being anti-AI isn't enough. You should be pro-art, pro-artist, pro-writer, pro-worker. Don't expend all your energy tearing people down. Spend it lifting people up instead. Make their voices so loud, their art so visible, it drowns out the slop.

My toxic trait is that I love when artists shit talk their scummy clients. I think we as a society are way too used to the "customer is always right" mantra, because sometimes, the customer is a chud. Self-employed folks have every right to talk about people who devalue their time and skill.
