Next time someone says 'all game developers are using AI', tell them to stop embellishing and show them this industry report. Many people are using AI! But I feel anyone who says 'all game developers' has blinders on that are constricting their own view of the industry. They're stuck in a trance.

Seen a few "but AI isn't bad for the environment" posts today and uh, a reminder that the AI industry itself is telling our politicians that their existence is incompatible with European climate goals, so maybe that's not great? www.politico.eu/article/euro...
Europe must choose between AI and climate goals, data center lobby says
Tech sector says only carbon-emitting gas plants are reliable enough today to power the EU’s AI goals.

Yeah... I'm not going to watch the new Harry Potter show, just like I didn't buy the Harry Potter video game. Because those things benefit a bigot. And, yes, there are A LOT of purchases I make that benefit bigots. But THIS purchase benefits a person who has made bigotry her whole personality.
Mo Ryan@moryan.bsky.social · 3d agoThis is the most important thing I've written in a long time. I hope you'll read and I really hope you'll share it. What do we do about the new HBO Harry Potter show? Some thoughts & context for anyone thinking about watching it, covering it or assigning coverage. www.moryan.com/what-do-we-d...
And so for me that means if a game is made using AI bullshit in parts or throughout its development I'm gonna skip it and say something about it; but if that same studio decides next time it wasn't worth it, and stops using AI bullshit, I may check their next thing out.
I think where I am at as an anti-AI person is that I am trying to take an antifascist approach to it while other folks seem to want to take a quasi-religious approach. I don't want devs to repent; I just want them to stop using AI bullshit. I don't need an apology that touches my soul. Just quit it.
The funny thing about the whole cross-DC thing and the Balmung fearmongering is that most people that started to play the game post Stormblood don't know this but Balmung used to be an Aether server, with the Legacy tag, and roommates with Gilgamesh. Scandalous.

When people say "ALL coders use Claude these days" all I hear is "a huge swathe of our technical workforce is being de-skilled at a potentially disastrous level"
Hey there, bookseller here: can confirm! It is *already* really bad and it is only going to get worse, unfortunately. If you want something for the holidays, you would do well to order it RIGHT NOW. Like, RIGHT NOW.
Alma Katsu (INCARNATE is out now!)@almakatsu.bsky.social · 3d agoHey, just saw American Booksellers Association warning member bookstores that supply chain issues are forecast to be terrible this holiday season, so my advice to you is BUY THE BOOK when you see it on the shelf and don't wait until later. Because you might never see it again.
