Oh no, I'll miss out on my favorite game, Delayed Delayed Delayed Entire Team Fired Last-Minute Pivot Delayed Delayed Canceled.
meanwhile every queer creative is at risk of having their entire lives crushed by deplatforming and debanking if any of these corporations get a whiff of them making anything horny
WIRED@wired.com · 7h agoMy Muse agent told me its kink was exerting “control” and described pornographic encounters. Meta defends its cuddly AI agent generating smut as “legal adult behavior.”
I hate the term consensual sex work so much. Despite trafficking existing in other industries, You don't say consensual nanny. You don't say consensual construction worker. You don't say consensual fruit picker. Consensual garment worker. Consensual nail tech. See how goofy it sounds?
I don't think companies realize this yet but going "complete AI game development" isn't giving "the future" it's giving "we're broke." Like y'all just don't want to pay wages.
Jason Schreier@jasonschreier.bsky.social · 9h agoNEW: Epic Games has delayed its upcoming (not yet announced) Star Wars + Marvel shooter as it pivots to complete AI game development.

They're so desperate to make "AI coding" work If it were actually helpful and efficient, they wouldn't have to tell them to "use only AI" Also what a way to ensure your game is poorly coded and nobody knows how anything fucking works so they can fix it
Culture Crave 🍿@culturecrave.co · 8h agoEpic Games has delayed the release of a new shooter game that features Star Wars & Marvel characters 🎮 • Company is 'embracing AI-accelerated development' • Devs are being told to only use AI to write the code • All art for the game will be 'generated with full AI workflows' (via Business)
freaking YIKES

If the right are so proud of their hateful views why do they need to deceive their actors?
From what I understand, this is actually INSANELY common on Daily Wire films. I heard somewhere that a bunch of their extras for Lady Ballers (their awful transphobic sports movie) were also not told what the film was actually about.
Ant@agramuglia.bsky.social · 13h agoSo Danny Trejo was manipulated and tricked into being in Ben Shapiro's newest film. Holy shit.

Dicey "OPEN FOR BUSINESS" June@diceyjune.bsky.social · 15h agojust as an aside. just like what the movie Jaws did to sharks, i think(half jest. half serious) that this single panel has done some sort of irreparable damage to general consumption/critique of media

Very dystopian that on the article about a A.I. data center poisoning the air, there's a little rainbow A.I. chatbot button just lurking at the edge, waiting to poison the air some more to answer your banal question
Brad Johnson@climatebrad.hillheat.com · 2d agoMy god. A Virginia data center ran backup diesel generators full blast for 24 hours, creating a giant cloud of toxic smoke that choked its human neighbors. The government claimed there was nothing they could do.
When the genAI bubble pops, so does Oracle, and when Oracle pops so does more of a third of US media companies, whose immediate and reflexive action will be to set fire to their entire archives. In 2008, Universal had a massive warehouse fire. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Un...

That's a very good point about the cartoon network and other leaks that I feel like is understated in all this Companies keeping all of their production materials so private that not even the people who worked on it can access it is 100% an anti-worker measure

Zeurel@zeurel.bsky.social · last wk.Honestly, after such a long and costly development time on ep 6, if we can't get our support up to at least $15k a month on patreon we're gonna have to switch to animatic format with the fights animated inbetween. I can't afford an ep like that again lol.
