I am disabled, have used LLMs for my work (not creative work), and am 100% against cloud-based LLM corps and the data centers they're pushing. there are good uses - none of them require a giant data center. the tech is not at the level to be worth it. this is how they take away our right to think.

It’s true that some access technologies use/require gAI; so yes, it has certain uses. But being broadly anti-AI is not ableist; big tech is relying on this defensive attitude to demolish any/all critiques. We need to think structurally for a truly just world.

Yeah I worked with a CA employment lawyer to make a 2 year rider, TL;DR the rider says that the studio is obligated to pay out 2 years of your salary if they don’t employ you for at least a year. And cover COBRA. qorquiq.itch.io/2-year-rider

We desperately need more studios like this not less

BREAKING: Several Xbox studios, including Compulsion, Ninja Theory and Double Fine, are negotiating with Xbox as they try to avoid closure. Some or all could spin off. Lots still in flux as many studios remain unsure about what's happening. Here's the latest: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I just do want to say, please look at situations like this and realize your lay off has no reflection on how good you are at your job whatsoever. There is nothing you can do or could have done to ensure this doesn't happen to you except for work to change the industry.

nearly ten years ago i participated in the first manifesto jam and i'm so glad @haraiva.bsky.social kept the ball rolling for #manifestojam2026 presenting: YOU HAVE TO BE A PERVERT a prayer for myself and anyone else who needs to hear it aerialshading.itch.io/you-have-to-...

YOU HAVE TO BE A PERVERT by aerialshading

There is a direct connection between Musk becoming a trillionaire and your current financial precarity. Every dollar he makes that he can’t possibly spend is effectively a dollar that ceases to exist: a dollar out of the economy, out of your pocket. He gets richer at all the world’s expense.

"I'm okay with using LLMs for the sake of the team's work-life balance" is a really insidious thing to say because no tool (however effective) can give you work-life balance. Work-life balance comes from good boundaries, appropriate headcount, clear responsibilities, and realistic scheduling.

Cosmic horror is great because it just kinda invents itself. Spend a bit too long thinking about the sun and you realize it’s a radioactive death ball larger than your mind has capacity to comprehend, so inherently dangerous that looking directly at it will harm you, and it’s just sitting there.

I love how the estimate for an upcoming doctor appointment looked wrong and when I called to ask about it I was told _all_ this medical group's estimates are wrong and to call my insurance. Doesn't feel like a Good Faith Estimate if you know they're all wrong 🤦

saw this cap on tumblr and god it really is like that

I consider myself a consummate professional, but if you tell me you’re laying off employees under embargo, I would feel morally obligated to break that embargo as soon as possible so that employees could make arrangements. I’ve been in the mad-rush mode following a surprise layoff. It’s awful.

Mike Straw | Insider-Gaming.com@mikestrawmedia.com · 2mo ago

Ubisoft EMBARGOED news to outlets about the layoffs and studio closures, FYI. Employees were told this morning. And then many reached out to us. Companies trying to embargo layoffs and closures might be the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen in my 16 years.

Okay, so this is massive and we're terrified. Partnering with @play.breakthrought1d.org in the fight against diabetes, the ENTIRE inkle catalogue is on Humble Bundle right now for $20 -- including TR-49, all four novels, both Overboard! games, 80 Days, all four parts of Sorcery! ... everything.

Please Use AI

"A.i." doesn't empower anyone. It strips them of belief in themselves and the power of their own minds and hands and abilities and stories. EVERY KID CAN DRAW. EVERY KID CAN TELL STORIES AND MAKE COMICS. Fuck "A.i." for telling kids lies and making them less-than.

1/3 of the game industry has lost their job in the last two years. Ubisoft closed two more studios today. Everyone is out of work. To that end I'm starting a new bundle to benefit a layoffs hardship fund. Game devs: please consider submitting your PAID games to the bundle, which will launch in July.

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

Show me your megastructures

Oops, I forgot to post this one here.

Don't mind me, I just found a good excuse to repost my Majora's Mask saga with the new 10 photos feature.

Lots of good replies in the quote reposts you all should check out! I'll be over here quietly thinking about what mine would be

There was a trend on Twitter of folks redrawing this panel of Akira Toriyama as themselves so my friends and I joined in

The thing that gets me about using genAI for concepting is that all my collabs with concept artists made my designs way better. They ask the right questions and thus allow us to start with a much more solid foundation. It shows once again most people don't understand what concept art is for
