They've added a little badge saying that they're donating 5% of each purchase to GLAAD, so please make it clear when you write that that's not enough. ALL of the license holder's revenue is going to anti-trans bigotry, media capture, legislative lobbying, and lawsuits to push us out of daily life.

Part of an old Jewish (Hillel) saying goes, “If I am not for myself, who will be for me?” Last night, the most visible part of our national press corps showed they won’t stand up for each other. And they undermined not just themselves, but every local news reporter who must put up with far worse.

He's only gone and written 2,500 more words about how game devs feel about generative AI. Latest piece quotes around two dozen different people with an indie background. When asked how they feel about gen AI, not one, but two devs responded, "Fuck that shit." www.gamesradar.com/games/it-cre...

"It creates lesser games": Indie game studios are supposed to love generative AI, so why do the 25 devs I spoke to avoid it?"So it may be slightly faster, and a lot worse, but it's also more expensive? Neat"www.gamesradar.comAustin Wood

I 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...
