Fun thing to think about very briefly: who currently has better lawyers, the United States or Nintendo

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉

Everyone who tried to draw around me and started drawing LOVED it at the beginning because of their QUICK IMPROVEMENT. Then quit when they hit The Wall™️.

But it's when you hit The Wall™️ that you NEED to push through with practice!! And you gotta do it for yourself, because it's ALWAYS worth it! 😤

We'll be at #ECCC showing off our game, come see what we've been up to! #indiedev

If you’re part of any creative groups, unions or other organisations in the uk you should be passing news like this along and spreading the world. News like this gets has the chance to be overlooked but if enough organisations kick up a fuss things can change.

Apply | Game Devs Of Color Expo Apply to speak at our online conference, show your game in our Direct, or sell your game in our Steam Sale.

They also have a possible Steam Waiver program to wave the $100 Steam fee for games applying that don't yet have a Steam page which is pretty neat.

Oh hey, the game I art directed is sharing their Unreal Vision OS fork. Neat!

Just a reminder that in 1979 the IBM training manual had this conclusion.

Also worth thinking about: an AI can't be held accountable for its screw ups but its user can be...

It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?

I've been meaning to ask what the connection was! If the name came from a shared reference or if Shaxs existed in Star Trek before the show.

They definately feel inspired off of each other.

True, but to keep it going up they need to sell games so the good news is players do have voting power with their dollars. If enough people decided to stop supporting GenAI games it would make a difference.

Even without the woke thing please know "a strong senior-junior hierarchy" combined with offering "high responsibilty" and causing "agony, weeping, and gnashing of teeth" are big red flags 🚩.

Careful applying to companies like this and don't send your students to them.

Thank you for the repost!

Thanks so much!

Gamers Are Overwhelmingly Negative About Gen AI in Video Games, but Attitudes Vary by Gender, Age, and Gaming Motivations. Learn about how gender, age, and gaming motivations shape the perception of Gen AI in video games.

Studios and publishers going "AI-First" makes me think of this recent study where 85% of players have a negative view of GenAI with 62% being "very negative". Only 7.6% approve.

Makes it hard to believe this is for players as much as its for the shareholders...

Is it possible to share in case any of your followers are Seattle devs that can benefit from this?

Another favor to ask on a research project. We're wrapping up a large project on AI music. We need folks to participate in a short 10 min quiz to test your ability to distinguish between AI music & human music. Especially looking for help from musicians!
