Saber Interactive has denied renewed claims that it replaced a former Lead Writer so it could “use ChatGPT” in the development of the recently announced title, Rideshare “Stimulator.” In a statement to PC Gamer, Saber also acknowledged previously undisclosed genAI use elsewhere in the title.

reading this made me cry. i'm normal!!! labour protections are a beautiful act of human love & care!!!!! the establishment of any union is a boon for future unions. companies that can unionise doing so of their own volition helps set precedent & pressure for future efforts outside of themselves 🖤

A there and back visit to Lund and the oncology department tomorrow. I think it's for the meeting that outlines the next procedure but still as my GM in Ravenloft said yesterday "why is all the stuff we do now the bad kind?"

Listen. Hire local artists to do movie posters. (I might be biased as a local artist but I don't have a screen press. But I sure want one.)

Someone working for the famous players theater in Prince George took it upon himself to make a poster for the new Spider-Man movie when the posters didn't show up. I personally think it's a vast improvement.

As the Axios publisher has shown, the decline of cognitive thought is real. Relying on AI to remember a book you read daily before bed sure is something and it's not good.

"You can't put toothpaste back in the tube" might be true, but we also stopped putting radioactive substances in things like toothpaste when it turned out to have really bad effects. AI in all apps is not the toothpaste, it's the radioactive quackery.

This is the same old "you can't solve weightlifting with a forklift" thing that happens again and again with current consumer uses of AI: the point of reading a book is not to finish the book easily, it's to READ the book, especially if the book asks you to do something that feels difficult

Axios writer: I melted my brain with AI. Not only can I no longer read, but I don't even understand the purpose of reading anymore. Here's how you can also do this. www.axios.com/2026/08/11/r...

Much of this spring/summer has been recovering from surgery. Economy is... sure something that would be nice to have. If people would like some art, small and/or big, I'm all open for commissions and work-for-hire. Even the smallest things would help out. (mail to nicklas@nyvinter.se)

Since my birthday is coming up next month, I do have a wishlist for stuff — I'll be honest, it's mostly books. If you don't know me well enough to get my address, then there's always the things above or the list of charities (pangolins, crohn's, and trans equality.) nyvintergifts.carrd.co

@arassivad.bsky.social Happy birthday! Hope all is well and the whole week is excellent.

"Yes, empathy is a mental health episode if you'd not realized that's the way society works." @robinince.bsky.social gave a good talk about why the Monkey Cage fell apart, how fucked up the BBC is in dealing with things behind the scenes, and telling rude jokes to Judi Dench.

Didn't write this in the text, but CAMP is a bit like how Midsummer is for Swedish people. "It's a comedy, right?" Except that was unintentional. Avalon is inside looking out and getting things right, and not outside looking in and getting things hilariously wrong. boxd.it/fJGu1R

What do you need to do to come to terms with your guilt? I'm pretty sure the phone and computer on the train is old due to the blink-and-you-miss-it budget, but they add a grounding stone to the dream...

I've pushed of finishing the Aegypt cycle for years because I have to reread the first two. This is a terrible excuse and I've never been more aware of this than now. John was a damn good writer.
