Something I wish more people would realize.

Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games. You've got my support 💖

WHEW JESUS BARS BARS BARS BARS BARS

Most interviews about fascism don’t end with me almost crying about the wonders of Pacific wild salmon, but somehow this one did. One of the best conversations I’ve had on tour so far. Thank you Oli Dugmore and The Exchange. @newstatesman1913.bsky.social youtu.be/JdfMaPrMBW4

the "agentic" vision of computing is a spam world where everyone has their own personal army of spam bots working 24/7 on their behalf choking everything with spam to try and get one over on the next guy. and that's just not something that can really... exist, long term?

this is the fucking problem with all the "AI is useful" shit, it's like... it's all, constantly, always, me me me me me. not one second spent thinking about the degradation of literally everything about life and society, just my convenience trumps all.

They're going to kill us all to build a beach resort.

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

the Catholic Church racking up PR wins by saying shit like “we shouldn’t bring back public executions” and “your Claude app isn’t sentient”

I started out pretty AI neutral, aside from the environmental concerns, but I'm, being pushed into hating it more and more because it keeps making things I care about actively worse, and the results keep speaking for themselves in a really bad shitty way.

I've seen a lot of programmers really disrespect themselves thinking that genAI is "fine" when it comes to coding or w/e because it's not "art" Programming is an art. It requires creativity. And you're literally programming graphics, it's visual art. It's just art. It counts. AI coding is AI "art"

I like seeing the dev of the SNES core on the Pocket actually telling one of these dudes off. Holy shit.

Make stuff. For the love of all that there is, please just keep making stuff! Doesn't matter if it's bad, good etc. Just *keep* making stuff.

I wrote a little piece about the ongoing battle for the soul of software as a craft, where we've been, and where I hope we're going

Yesterday's news about Jacob Geller broke my heart, so much that I couldn't stop dwelling on it all day. In an effort to make sense of this horrific news and my admittedly complicated feelings about it, here is my article on the Jacob Geller situation: epiloguegaming.com/what-do-we-d...

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Sad news everyone. Our beloved friend the computer has now become a hated enemy

Cover art I made for the Italian edition of Between Two Fires. Available to pre-order from Mercurio Books

there are so many amazing, life-changing things you can do with computers and i think it's a serious problem the companies that make them keep trying to sell them by saying "do you hate everyone in your life? are you less of a person than a hollow automaton waiting to be told what to do by me?"

I don't think it's especially fraught tbh! "AI" coding assistants are built off of the blatant theft of the entire open-source code ecosystem without permission nor respect to their licensing terms. Fuck that shit.

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft. Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

I’m not the first person to make this observation but the prevalence of nauseating ai-generated business logos means stuff like this hits CRAZY for me now
