“Ooh boy, AI is great!”
“Look, we’re Miyazaki cartoons!”
“Now we’re ALL artists!”
“Oh shit the gate just closed!”
“They’re monitoring everything we say!”
“Fuck, there’s police drones everywhere!”
“The AI just locked my money because I said Free Palestine!”

Fair reminder next time you're pissed off at some blue checkmark's post or comment there's a very high likelihood you're pissed off at a bot programmed to piss you off
Hide, mute, block, and put it out of your mind

americans like simple narratives they can id with. sticking to class issues as the right hammers on negatively framed culture war narratives will inevitably cause them to lose. they are unserious abt the economic crisis americans are experiencing. they're out of touch.

I've been seeing some comments about how Warren Spector will come back to making games because generative Al made it easier and cheaper than ever before. I have some news for you.

I've been called Twitter's resident AI hater, and I've literally, not ONCE ever been contacted to post anti-AI content by ANYONE.
You know who DOES contact me on a weekly basis? AI startups and companies trying to get me to peddle their slop.

Warren Spector, legend in the gaming industry, godfather of the immersive sim, producer of countless classics (Ultima VI: The False Prophet, System Shock, Deus Ex, Epic Mickey, ...), is retiring from game development.

It's pretty simple.
AI has destroyed the internet and all trust in the people and contents of it. You can no longer trust anything that has been submitted to you on it nor that you find on your own. There is a pre-nuclear steel cutoff point at which the age of a post has become an element in its trustworthiness. That destruction has taken out the work of creating those things and removed humans from the process because greed told business owners they could do it cheaper this way but it just made everything way worse.
And because it kind of sucks but does a passable job if you squint, it's replaced a tonne of juniors while still requiring seniors to oversee it, thus interrupting the flow of juniors who could become seniors and choking off the natural lifecycle of human progression required to have continued service. When the seniors retire we will not have new ones to replace them and their capabilities will be lost forever.
The ability to make kinda shitty versions of stuff and carry on conversations has automated theft, fraud, harassment, and political manipulation on a scale previously unimaginable. Computers that were once deterministic will now lie to you with the confidence of a con-man. The greed and manipulative accounting of shifting revenue around has destroyed consumer computer markets and people can no longer afford what they need to work, or play, once again driving people back into the arms of business owners who can't wait to rent it to you for a subscription. And because investor eyes light up at the new Flavor Of The Month (like they did with blockchain before it) it's being jammed in everywhere it doesn't belong and now every product you liked is worse.
Search doesn't even work anymore and attempting to use any of the AI chatbots for this removes the element of context from your ability to determine trustworthiness of a source, because there isn't one. It's a remix of a remix of a remix, reconstituted from parts, and the average it makes from the slop could be true or it could be full of shit, which is way worse than having to evaluate multiple real human points of view to construct your own. We are taking the averages of averages away from the contexts within which the data points were made in the first place then wondering why everything is slightly wrong now.
And to achieve all this, unaccountable tech billionaires have stolen generations of work from creatives, technicals, and anyone else with a "who will stop us" attitude, making it clear to everyone that the rule of law is over because there's so much profit available it's in their best interests to just ignore it. They know this now, and they will keep doing it forever. We have rewarded the very worst behavior from the very worst people and what little power the individuals had has been transferred back to more corporations.
AI is a race to make everything worse for everyone while a handful get rich, and if you have to stick your fingers in your ears to pretend you just 'dont get why people dont like it' I have more respect for the people doing that evil on purpose than I do for you.
I generally have a sympathetic view of people who disagree with me, but over time I’ve realized there are a few topics where I really struggle to see the other side:
Waymo
Data centers
AI usage (especially the fake water/enviro concerns)
Unfortunately huge political incentives to reward the populist misunderstanding on these topics
