Nikki from OBSESSION joins FORTNITE tomorrow. You wished for this...

guess i shlda been clued in considering how little agency they give to the women in the film and how they used dissociative identity disorder purely as a mechanical vehicle to farm fear for a flimsily written male lead

> I used AI code generation in my game but just as semantic search ok sure. i don't think you should do that but whatever > I also used AI-based TTS but for specific effect non-AI TTS is a solved problem. it seems weird you wouldn't go there > also I used Suno ok so you're full of shit. got it

anyway listen to tweewaster on bandcamp or on youtube : )

My new visual album Tweewaster is out now! linktr.ee/maxotunes

maybe im showing my age but “make it easier for your audience to hear your work” feels meaningless to me when that ease is just “put everything on the agreed upon favorite app” like sorry is swapping over to bandcamp to stream music a bridge too far?

it has literally never been easier to find work from your favorite artists and instantly listen to it anywhere u are. who are we really catering to

ive been treating marketing language like this as a red flag for years and i have yet to be proven wrong

I JUST SAW ANOTHER ONE video released 4 hours ago, 22k subscribers, first ever plugin, $50 "early access discount", youtube title self-describes the plugin as "The best" go away lol

he's 100% right. endless sequels, "spiritual successors", AAA third-person shooter with special-vision mechanic frankensteins, and nostalgia-bait are where actually novel design goes to die. we've barely scratched the surface of what's possible to do and feel through this medium

this is at the heart of how i feel abt ai decomps. it’s just anti-community, at the very least while there are still active communities of people who do this with love and care, and actually dedicate real time to it

i think some of this is deeper society shit like "america has largely focused on ~rugged individualism~" meaning most people simply do not give a shit about the externalities of what they do, or really anyone other than themselves and their immediate goals

the only reason to ever rush to the finish line with any creative project is for profit. i don’t like that behavior no matter the tool used to facilitate it

this is not pointed twd people with good intent who are forced to rush bc of other ppls’ profit btw

honestly re: reverse engineering it just kinda blows to see your fun hobby get completely blown up by AI shit and people who love the slop machine because it's faster. AI art and shit at least *most* people correctly loathe + shun it, but too many people think that code isn't similarly creative.

this is insane no matter how u slice it, don’t get me wrong. but this person is not saying they literally spent $56k on this and im amazed that no one is parsing that from this sc

mcc@dryad.technology

Basically it's just very important to me that if someone burns $56k of diesel to do this, that I not benefit from their actions in any way

that’s what this *would cost* without a subscription. absolutely ludicrous ofc and it wld still suck imo to pay even a monthly sub’s worth to do something that’s more or less already available. but let’s pls read a little more carefully lol

huge thanks sm for the shoutout :”)

there's a premise in harmony by project itoh about losing consciousness by automating the human body and mind. "the harmonious brain is a brain with all uncertainty removed" it's ironic that these guys argue ai is conscious when they ultimately want to live an unconscious life

maybe i'm old fashion but the coolest thing about video games is being taken to new worlds that i hadn't thought up and experiencing something exciting that the artists behind the game want to show me
