I used to love my Minidisk player. Also had a stereo with a Minidisk player and recorder. Had leads hooked up to the TV so I could record tracks straight from MTV to disks Just a bit too late cos of CDs and then MP3 players coming out not long after

I fucking hate AI almost as much as I hate the sniveling asshole billionaires and shithole corporations who have all forced it into every conceivable spot in our lives. It literally makes everything worse and it makes us worse and I fucking hate it.
NEW: I spoke with multiple video game developers and a U.S. employment lawyer to learn more about restrictive side clauses that often prevent employees at major companies from pursuing hobbyist work or personal projects. In an industry renowned for creativity, why are we stifling it?

“Last year, xAI released what it called Grok Imagine or ‘spicy mode’c with features that allowed Grok users to prompt it to create fake images that were more sexual in nature *** In less than two weeks, Grok had created millions of sexualized images, including more than 20,000 of children…” 2/
Guess what reviewed two more Publishing Agreements today and they both had a no gen ai clause, the streak continues

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.
it is with enormous pleasure we may announce: get in the bin argentina, you shithousing dogs
This half time show is a travesty. Just let someone from the crowd try to score a penalty or something to win a reasonably prized car or something normal ffs
