AI Data center build outs are being approved behind our backs and we're the ones who are going to be paying for it. Glad at least one party in NZ is trying to do something about this asinine scourge on workers and our natural resources. Fuck generative AI and every shitlord trying to profit from it

The Greens are calling for a one year pause on new AI data centres - so New Zealanders get to have their say on how to protect our resources, environment and communities. Sign our petition today: action.greens.org.nz/pause_ai_dat...

The material effectiveness of the BDS Xbox boycott shouldn't be a condition to be met to warrant reporting from outlets. We build trends from singular petulant reddit posts and report "insider" rumours without shame, the least anyone could do is *mention* an ongoing genocide.

Interesting that almost all analysis of Xbox in freefall completely ignores an organized boycott intended to harm the company financially. Meanwhile, multiple news stories on the home page all month about PlayStation boycotts that haven't even happened yet.

What if I told you that all of the Publishing Agreements I have reviewed in the last 6 months (several dozen) included a no gen AI provision, wherein the use of gen AI in development is a material breach, but companies like Epic and EA are still trying to convince us the industry is cool with it

He's only gone and written 2,500 more words about how game devs feel about generative AI. Latest piece quotes around two dozen different people with an indie background. When asked how they feel about gen AI, not one, but two devs responded, "Fuck that shit." www.gamesradar.com/games/it-cre...

The main way in which AI has negatively impacted games industry jobs is not through actual automation of those jobs or even untrue claims about automation. It's by making capital unavailable because it's tied up in AI investments while also destroying the consumer base for video game hardware.

Our feature artist/tutorial today is this AWESOME animation by the talented @ameliabothe! Note how anticipation of WEIGHT SHIFT is established in that opening pose, and how the secondary elements of the wings and tail STREAMLINE during the roll, before opening back out for the final resting pose.
