there are two forks of gameplay discourse and all I have to say is "game make money. money make game that make money"

Hey remember when Nanowrimo said "sure why not" to allowing AI slop in their process and then immediately died after 20 years of operation oh, no reason, was just thinkin' about it

perfect timeline alignment

This is the second time in as many months when Meta's ads have been linked to child sexual abuse material—a BBC investigation last month looked at Instagram ads www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Reports *today* suggest Zuckerberg apologized to officials about this www.scmp.com/news/asia/so...

Zuckerberg apologises to India over child sexual abuse content on Meta platforms

The Meta Platforms ⁠CEO also apologised for deepfake content and operational ‌lapses on the company’s platforms, according to a report.

NEW: Over the last few months, Meta has run dozens of paid ads that included AI-generated CSAM. The ads, some of which were linking out to “nudify” apps, targeted men in the US, UK, and a dozen European countries. Some were running in the last few days

Meta Ran Ads That Contained AI-Generated Child Sexual Abuse Imagery

More than 50 offending image and video ads were published across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, or Threads, according to Meta’s ad library data. Some ran as recently as this week.

2-3 games worth reviewing have released every day this week on Steam alone. The videogame space is overflowing with good art and nobody is being paid for the time to review even a fraction of it.

this is on a very short list of permitted slang alternatives but I stand by my comment that it shouldn't have taken this long for the discourse at all

Just crossed the terminal: Microsoft disclosures suggest that OpenAI is about 70% of AI sales! If only someone had said something

Ed Zitron@edzitron.com · yesterday

Analysts estimate that 70%+ of Microsoft, Google and Amazon's present and future AI revenues are from Anthropic and OpenAI's compute spend and model sales. Outside of two unsustainable AI labs, demand barely exists, and they've massively overbuilt capacity. www.wheresyoured.at/the-ai-deman...

Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

This is what people mean by AI is theft. Someone I know later found out an artist (16k followers) they got a commision from uses AI and now they don't have funds to commish me or another artist they like. Not only does the slop machine steal art, these scammers directly steal work from real artists

it is 2006. I am warning my friends that Vic Mignogna is unsafe and not to be trusted. it is 2026. I am warning the internet that Vic Mignogna is still unsafe and still not to be trusted. WHEN WILL THIS END?!

british people legally can't talk about their culture of elite pedophilia because they don't have freedom of speech. that's not a right they have. and what speech her undying majesty does permit is subject to prior approval by jo terf.

Americans really don’t get to be talking like this anymore

TIL the term "heisei era" for vocaloid

what do you mean there's a cat convention in new jersey that's in the building where severance was filmed

idk like. I don't think it should've taken big walk to critically analyze the term "friendslop." peak was perfectly great. so were older games like among us, which changed the multiplayer/indie landscapes, and overcooked. it shouldn't take an "elevation" moment for this subset to be taken seriously

my friend got hacked on discord and i just had the most unexpected interaction with the person who hacked him

international leaders don't even need to sneak anything dangerous in, they just need to execute a really good jumpscare and I'd bet that'd do it

couple months ago: let's show these assholes why americans are drowning in medical and other personal debt now: wait what we don't even have the weaponry now either

okay, fine, discord, I don't hate the changes to the android app

I feel like if I had a cuter avatar, I would do less serious posting

"saudi arabia owns EA" is going to be the headline you see basically everywhere for this one but "jared kushner is about to use EA as a vehicle for trump administration bribes" is equally relevant imo

anytime you see a media post about people "being cruel about ariana grande's body" I need you to know that the absolute vast majority of comments are not that. they are saying she looks not healthy, that she needs help and better company, that EVERYONE is CONCERNED, don't let them twist that

alright, I've had a can of Royal Crown, I don't hate it

so there's two things going on with the nyc crime numbers. the high-stakes crime numbers going down is good, because it's hard NOT to record those. but cops are being lazy as fuck and just outright not ticketing low-stakes crimes, like traffic tickets for cars in illegal spots like bike lanes 🫠
