In addition to all the reasons others have pointed out why this is stupid, it’s also a great example of how AI users have no respect for creation as a process, as iteration. That friction and struggle they want to remove is figuring out what the thing actually is, not your ‘idea’.

Mike Cook@mtrc.bsky.social

I appreciate the bar is quite low but this excerpt from an interview with Molyneux about AI is almost too on the nose. Nice anecdote about a colleague he used to respect and enjoy working with, followed by an explanation of how him and everyone like him is now expendable.

Which is why I find academics who use AI for their writing particularly egregious. The writing process is the thinking. You’ve outsourced the actual thinking.

Los conglomerados se han dedicado a devorar estudios increíbles de todos los tamaños como Roll7, Double Fine, Arkane, BioWare... Solo para esquilmarlos y cerrarlos. Las consolas van a costar más de mil pavos. Las IAs copian juegos y destrozan a los creadores pequeños. ¿Qué va a sobrevivir aquí?

Me parece demencial que un estudio creativo como Arkane Studios se tenga que dedicar a buscar un comprador para no tener que cerrar en lugar de estar haciendo Dishonored 3. Llevo meses con la sensación de que después de GTA VI se acaban los videojuegos tal y como los hemos conocido hasta ahora.

Even the games name "Penguin Colony" is to play into this idea. A Colony? They are Indigenous. Almost every penguin in the game has a colonial name -- "King" "Emperor" "Magellan" "Gentoo" "Adelie" After the game we are shown all of this information as our expedition results.

Veselekov@veselekov.bsky.social

Having players begin to question the ever present colonial language in games was intentional. Even the game mechanic of "collecting" and "discovering" was something I wanted to challenge. You are shown what you found It is up to you to question the validity of. What you find has Nazi appraisal
