Phenomenal work here by @woodwould.bsky.social that is well worth the read! Find out what the people making your games actually think about AI. Look forward to reading more on this in the future!
Austin Wood@woodwould.bsky.social · 4mo agoI spent the last few months talking to over 30 game developers about generative AI. It began as a sort of interview survey but became a pretty comprehensive collection of arguments against the technology altogether. www.gamesradar.com/games/why-so...

Since attending the WoW: Midnight event over the weekend, I felt like making a return to Azeroth.. Say hello to Glenzig, undead hunter!
After seeing all the cool housing stuff coming to World of Warcraft this weekend, alongside the roadmap for the year ahead in Midnight, I think I might make a comeback for the first time since Burning Crusade: Anyone got any pointers for a lapsed player?
New rare opportunity at work has opened up. Come work with us on the gaming teams in this sweet new role (did I mention it's remote?) Any questions holla at me! wrkbl.ink/iL6cxuS
