'Blue Planet III' will deliberately include murkier and less polished underwater footage to assure viewers it's real and not AI-generated 🌊 The David Attenborough-narrated series won't feature a single AI-generated frame (via guardian)

This isn't hyperbole or a joke. Parents actually called the cops and got the black boy and his family removed and the league claimed they were trespassing because he was "putting on a show" and wasn't playing "fair."

Tim Sweeny's comment on the closure of Looking Glass Studios.

it's funny bringing veganism of all things into this you know; bc vegan dishes at the store and restaurant happen to be, you guessed it, labeled. so customers can make an informed decision

I can't believe he's still at it, it's been days

Between Tim Sweeney being an absolute AI chud and the harassment of our beloved @kenney.nl, we've decided to cancel our previously announced Epic Games Store release for Shape Sender Deluxe 🚮

Actions speak louder than words, personally I was in talks with Epic to get all my game assets on their Fab.com marketplace (for free) but cancelled the deal immediately. If they want slop, let them have slop.

Travis Knight says that ‘WILDWOOD’ had to be PG-13 due to the tragic acts of violence seen in the film. “Modern cinema generally tends to talk down to young audiences. But young people experience loss. They know what it’s like to feel afraid.” (Source: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/m...)

I can finally share the news! I have a crowdfunding going on for my game Fallacy Quiz. You can support a new chapter for the game with an interactive debate mode on the topic of voting. I decided to make it to fight voter apathy ahead of the 2027 French presidential election. 1/2

I had to go on Twitter to confirm this was real because Ship Awesome Games In A Weekend having a hand with six fingers was so on the nose I was about to pass out

Tenebris Somnia is a horror game that mixes 2D pixel art gameplay with terrifying live-action sequences. @axelbosso.bsky.social chats with game director Andrés Borghi and New Blood CEO @dave.newblood.games about how it came to be, and its promise to be anything but ordinary.

New sample game made with #ezEngine ! Code and stand-alone binary available here: github.com/jankrassnigg...

pisses me off how ever since ai can make websites, every website for "small open source indie app" and "community database" looks like this and you can just TELL they all used the same ai to vibe code it

I can confirm that this client runs like shit.

After consulting with various AI agents, Epic Games announced it plans to improve on its homegrown storefront by getting rid of it. paletteswap.site/dif...

Men find yet another way to film and harass women without consent, this time, using a remote controlled robot to push against a "16-year-old girl's buttocks", and this is how the most well-resourced news agencies cover it: Read *our* piece here: www.404media.co/theres-nothi...

The most indebted corporations in America right now are, at their core, computer virus companies. They think the computer viruses are their girlfriends, so they think this absolves them of guilt. Let's find out!

Devastating news today. Richard “Levelord” Gray was such a great guy. Like many of our friends, I wish I could have hung out with him again. He was full of life, a gentle soul, and an excellent level designer. He was called “Levelord” for a reason.

Character.ai’s bankruptcy is the one of the first dominos to fall in the long-foreseen AI bubble. Read the story here: https://www.404media.co/character-ais-bankruptcy-documents-show-the-economics-of-ai-dont-work/

NEW: Epic Games has delayed its upcoming (not yet announced) Star Wars + Marvel shooter as it pivots to complete AI game development. "No more hand-written code," a director told staff. All art "generated with full AI workflows." Full scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Politics of Elon Musk: if you hadn't seen already, this is Anna Zeiter being literally wowed by gross propaganda from Martin Sellner's "Institute For Remigration" — a group that advocates ethnic cleansing, "the preservation of ethnocultural continuity," and spreads Great Replacement conspiracies.

#WSocial’s advice here is TERRIBLE - deleting your account won’t change a thing. Just now I found the record of a minor (15yo) who was verified by #WIdentity. His account status is now “taken down” but his full name, nationality and approx. date of birth are still visible on W's verification list!

Strangened Narratives Workshop starts on Friday! Oct 9th! To lure you further into this narrative design workshop here's a piece about yet another grievance against AI. nejeneva.ghost.io/on-sugondese/ If you don't repost it, I guess you support AI. #indiedev #gamedev #narrativedesign

Strangened Narratives Workshop! October 9th! This is a narrative design workshop, fully online and very live. 2-3 hours of live Discord calls every week, strange but fun exercises aimed at finding the fun in the craft while practicing unorthodox ways with feedback! #indiedev shorturl.at/v7GeD

How they got the money at all?! So much risk and debt when so many teams struggle for a fraction of that money in funding to make games that don’t put people in debt and no overheads to cut into the profits cos they don’t shackle to tech bros economy.

The video advertising Unity's ew AI-driven autocomplete game maker has 'Mari' who has a game idea they "always wanted to make" and that idea is "Space Corridor" and it looks like this, and that's the strongest argument I can think of for keeping game dev out of the pro-AI crowd's hands.

In fairness to Russia, when they complain to states, countries don't pull out of supporting counterdisinformation conferences, so maybe "after Russia" isn't 100% accurate.

Gravity Well, the studio formed in 2020 by former Respawn Entertainment developers, has confirmed a round of layoffs impacting "the majority" of the studio. A statement posted by the studio says that it lost its funding and is yet to find a new financial backer.

2K has announced that NBA 2K25, which released two years ago, will be delisted on 30 October, with online servers switched off on 31 December. The shutdown will make both competitive multiplayer modes and single-player modes unplayable. This schedule has become typical for the NBA 2K series.

We had to wait for the....NEW YORK POST to write about this. Y'all know there is so much more where this came from but journalists don't want to dig and people are terrified to speak to any journalist seeing the type of reporting they've been doing

I made a book to learn animation by actually moving stuff on activity pages! www.stopmotionbook.com It's a digital download so you can print it at home :)

It’s easy to see why the AI companies wanted to hide this from the public. The statements are some of the most damning indictments of the ways LLMs were trained, how they work, and the immediate threat they pose to human labor. @jasonkoebler.bsky.social reports. www.404media.co/doom-loop-op...

This is why I hate "just a tool" so so so much. You can make a calculator without access to every calculation. You can make photoshop without access to all photos. Someone show me a genai tool that didn't require all of our labour in its production. It's plagiarism software.

@css-tricks.bsky.social is once again stuck in an arbitrary suspension at the hands of DigitalOcean's radio silence. It is devastating to see such a brilliant publication treated so very poorly. The current situation: vale.rocks/micros/20260...

Two thoughts: 1. I was already leery of the game because the planned composer was generating AI music so I was going to keep it at arm’s length based on the weird sounding track in the trailer.

There are many many stories here. One of them, is that this is straight out of the tobacco & fossil fuel playbook. Have the same companies and billionaires fund "independent" institutes staffed by the same people, and "cite" their reports as "independent experts" showing "consensus."🧵

Do other people see how self centered Americans can be? It's Canada doing America a favour apparently. Not Canada protecting itself.

Four days after the attacks:

Any of you using the ios version of Patreon to support me, switch to the browser version instead, cuz the apple fees have actually taken over 3000 usd from me in the course of a year

"AI" is inevitable, it's just here now is what we get told. We also get told that "AI" mustn't be properly regulated or everything goes to shit. These two statements are not consistent.

Pet owners, rescue agencies, and wildlife groups are calling for new safeguards as AI makes it harder to tell whether animals, from polar bears to house cats, are real or fake. www.wired.com/story/ai-slo...

I tweeted about this over a year ago, and the Hugging Face CEO suggested I file a report on their site. I did so. The report seems to have been ignored, and the dataset continues to be downloaded thousands of times every month. /end
