Why do pro-AI comics and such always depict the AI user as a woman when it’s almost always men making them? Do they think it’ll make people more sympathetic to their cause or something?

you ever think about how the epstein files revealed that he played a hand in the current moral panic over trans people & it is directly related to epstein's sex trafficking ring and it didn't even get widely talked about so the moral panic didn't even stop for a day and just kept going

We pioneered what we're calling 'Distributed Development', a bold new corporate strategy where we pay workers less money

Star Wars: Galactic Racer was made by a core team of 75 people. "What we wanted to do was keep that core small, smaller than perhaps you might have done in the past, and scale capacity and capability with what we call distributed development." https://bit.ly/4hT02qg

Yet another reason for me to dislike Rockstar. I still remember them talking about having people doing 80 hour work weeks in the leadup to RDR2’s release. They seem to have zero respect for their employees whatsoever.

Wow holy fuck what a shit in principle but also at least have some selfworth and ask for more than an hour of time off for betraying your entire field www.verticalslice.news/rockstar-acc...

And then IIRC once people rightfully said “hey that’s fucked”, the response was “no don’t worry we would never have any of our programmers do that! It’s the writers :)” as if that made it any better.

Or. You know. For healing at least. The fact that it's the same in both 1 and 2 is what really gets me I think. (Don't know if it's the same in 3, haven't played that one yet.)

The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us

a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...
