I understand the point of alt text for the vision-impaired on Bsky but we are also essentially crowdsourcing the exact work you'd do to train machine vision/AI, and that feels kind of weird.

Microsoft is offering buyouts to about 60,000 employees in latest cost cuts, roughly a quarter of its workforce, as the company tries to control its head count while avoiding layoffs ➡️ www.seattletimes.com/business/mic...

I wish I could reach through the screen and shake every one of you by the shoulders until you buy a ticket for #Wildwood. What an absolutely phenomenal film. A masterpiece, crafted with skill, love, and care. Going to see this is the closest thing you can do, to punching slop in the face.

GO SEE #DIGGER.

This is a Tom Cruise movie that came out 2 weeks ago. Only showing of the day at the closest theater. The nature of this "flop" makes me both suspicious and excited to see #Digger

Bioware forever.

a cartoon directed by ben "bugs" hardaway had a model sheet with a rabbit labeled [bug's bunny], and this eventually became the name "bugs bunny" so what i am saying is that technically "bugs bunny" is a term like "frankenstein's monster"

this is my vent art

I'm a Bethesda veteran making a game where you are the HORROR VILLAIN -inspired by 80s horror flicks -solo or co-op stealth gameplay -stalk your victims -stay unnoticed & hunt in slasher locations -in the right/wrong hands everything is a weapon GONE FERAL, playtest ⬇️

“Uh oh our chair on the mocap stage was too short! What do we do? Remodel the sofa? Re animate the characters??” Environment artist: “I got you”

it is time

"AI will raise the floor and lower the ceiling." I caught a moment of an interview with M Night Shymalyan and that quote really nailed my sentiments as well.

Is "democratizing" a craft any different than ruining a place for the locals, for the sake of the tourists?

A mutual just shared this video on LinkedIn about Ai and math and made the connection, that it's not so different from art: The learnings, the by-products, the incentive to master a craft in the first place! youtu.be/KqiDqJMxg6o

Hey California! Be careful this election because the big money creeps are trying to trick you (again).

Spending too much time alone that I've started talking to myself: AI, Game dev, building guitars, and the underestimation of expertise. youtube.com/shorts/mUoPq...

The price for inefficient and unoptimised generated code and art is always shouldered by the players. "This is next gen. Get better hardware". (The 3D hardware that is too expensive due to AI, sold to you by the company that makes the chips for AI.) It is a con that harms players and workers.

AI is a tool with some valid uses but a lot of folks don't get how tools work. "THE SNAP-ON TRUCK JUST SHOWED UP AND PROMISED THIS NEW HAMMER DOES EVERYTHING 10X BETTER AND FASTER! EVERYONE MUST USE THE NEW HAMMERS!" "Sir, we make glass bottles."

Marvel + Star Wars + an AI foie gras dev pipeline presents 'LATE STAGE CAPITALISM: THE GAME"

We’ve been talking about this for years. None of these far-right movements are organic.

Totally stole this from a friend

I thought my Amazon AI history thing might be invasive or embarrassing but it's all over the place. Just like me...

Some of these companies have been extremely predatory with their pricing over the years. Annual subs when the 10 year old versions do almost the same thing. WithAI being used to fuck over artists for several years now... they probably shouldn't be surprised when their tools get used against them.

I have mixed feelings about this. The weapon of the enemy etc. But if your software has had a hostile relationship with it's user base for years who are now getting robbed by LLMs and nickel-and-dimed monthly, I can't really find any pity for Adobe either.
