Reading this Famitsu interview Uchikoshi did and it seems that the reason the Crash Keys game was canceled was because *Uchikoshi* wanted to use AI, not the publisher. This snippet is driving me nuts. Makes all the posturing with Hundred Line read extremely shallow.

Yeah that originally read to me like "the publisher wanted us to use AI but we refused. They canceled the game because we wouldn't let people get fired" but instead it was "we couldn't use AI to do a bunch of useless tweaking so I let the money run out instead of compromising" fuck off dude!!!

Despite the significant investments ploughed into artificial intelligence it has provided “zero payoff” to corporate America outside of technology, according to Apollo's Chief Economist Torsten Slok. Read more: bloom.bg/3UO2c30 📷: Victor J. Blue/Bloomberg

AI doesn't "create", it - outputs - generates - hallucinates - slops up - sharts out There's no "AI art", there's - AI output - AI imagery - AI text (*not* AI writing) - slop - dogshit Let's do our best to choose words that don't respect the evil fascist machine, don't give any value to its output

Props to the ad agency: they nailed the "white person who plagiarises and steals credit using LLMs" look with 100% accuracy

I got an email about covering this game. Needless to say I'm rejecting it.

Even if you *are* real, if you are pitching me with ChatGPT, I am not interested.

I know one of us says this basically every day, but if you are an actual podcaster/bookstore/book club organizer... do not use chatGPT to write your pitch. We will delete it. We see 7-371 of them a day and we can spot them by the 5th word. It doesn't matter if you're real. We'll delete it.

生成AIの問題点は著作権違反の温床(倫理観もあるけど一旦置いておいて) それを「良いもの作れば食っていけるから大丈夫。四の五の言わずに早よ描け」はなんの解決にもなってないと言うかずれてる。 その良いものを横から奪って僕のものですよって公言して回ってるのがAI 使ってる連中なんだろって。何年間同じこと言わせりゃ気が済むんだよボケジジイがよ。引き合いに矢口先生出してんじゃねぇよ あとそもそも言われずともみんな四の五の言いながらも描いてるから。

PSA: The latest NVIDIA App update adds a Default-ON option that allows AI Agents to control the app... Might want to turn it off.. Even aside from being lame AI features, that feels like making security even worse by defaulting it ON.

If "AI" were a mere tool and not a political narrative you wouldn't need to headline "X used AI to do Y" all the time. Anything anyone does while "AI" is involved must reify "AI"'s power and relevance. Because it's not "just a tool", it's a project of disenfranchisement some willingly embrace.

"this downright black-and-white refusal of generative AI is childish" Okay, now replace"AI" with child labor and say that again. Because a lot of the moral arguments against genAI are similarly structured than those against child labor.

The problem isn't that we just don't understand how enlightened your decision is. We understand it fine. You've surrendered to the "AI is inevitable and all we can do mitigate it" lies of the AI lobby. You can't explain your way out of this. You need to reverse your announcement today.

"Programming is hard" is not the statement you want to see from a company that makes a game engine. Then again, it may explain why UE5 games all run like dogshit.

I want to be explicit that Mark Zuckerberg, on the softest of softball podcasts, admitted he invested all this capex without really knowing whether any of it would work, shortly after his tech guy said that he had been repeatedly told “hey this better fucking work” by the CFO at an offsite

Ed Zitron@edzitron.com

This is the shit you love to hear just as everybody is feeling extremely anxious about the opaque ROI of AI and specifically AI capex in Meta’s case. You want a story where your CFO says “it will be really bad if you’re wrong about this”

Anybody who is constantly trying to find a middle ground between personal benefit on the one hand and horrendous ethical and environmental violations on the other while a financial crisis bubbles in the background, is a fence sitter at best. Calling them critical is a ridiculous statement

"It's already here, what do you mean you think you can refuse?" is just another variation of the agency-stealing inevitability narrative. The future is not yet written, and we can shape it, starting with rejecting inevitability and claiming our agency. /fin

I don't actually follow Stancil, but I do follow the phrase "stochastic parrots" and that seems to be a pretty reliable way to get notified when he's on here flaunting his ignorance (about "AI" specifically). >>

Yes, because it is really important to smoke, try heroin, download CSAM (!!!), or burn plastic, etc etc to be able to discuss the dangers and harms of those activities.

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social

One of the things that really shines through in these AI debates is how many of the antis refuse to actually use or touch the thing they're trying to criticize, which leads to claims that have this religious tenor and bear no resemblance whatsoever to real-world manifestations of AI.

"this wouldn't have existed without AI anyway, it's not taking away any potential jobs or opportunities" if you do not have the willingness or drive to make something without AI, then it shouldn't exist AI is built off of stolen labor. Want art? Do or fund the labor.

"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.
