After much research I have perfected the theory of "AI as the One Ring". All AI techbros consistently fall under: - Knows it's bad, thinks they're just built different - Thinks it's inevitable and switches sides w/ no morals - Thinks it's his magic girlfriend - Evil CEO ruling over the rest of them

On the Echoearth, because Wizards of the Coast voluntarily unionized, they negotiated a reduction in the number of sets per year, which freed up enough printing production to support print-on-demand Secret Lairs

RT if you don't use AI for coding

There's so much fearmongering going around about people copying games with AI. The solution is not to hide away, but to lean into your weirdness, and I mean it in the best way possible AI can't copy your lived experiences or that niche PS2 that means the world to you and wish they would've

This is something that I've tried to articulate before. For me it's not even just about well written code (although beautiful in of itself), but also the intention, and the series of choices made in it's creation. It's not just a beautiful function. It's MY beautiful.

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

We’re proud to share that over 42,000 of you have signed our petition for Wizards to voluntarily recognize our union! Our numbers inside and outside of Wizards are growing every day, and we are grateful for the support! actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcp...

absolutely disgusting to shamelessly gloat about vibecoding your product as you're charging ahead to devalue an entire industry and several art forms with copious amounts of AI confetti hyperslop, depriving real artists and developers of oxygen

Announcing RimWorld update 1.7! It moves the game from Unity to Waylith, our in-house engine, and runs 2-4x faster in our tests. Try it now on the unstable beta. Oh, and RimWorld isn’t the only game on Waylith... Read on Steam: store.steampowered.com/news/app/294100/view/672882362547178633

Every time I do AI programming (NPCs not LLMs), at some point in the debugging process, I inevitably sound like an exasperated parent asking my little guys running around “Why are doing that?? I told you not to do that!” And then inevitably it turns out the problem was in fact my parenting. :(

Unironically the best closed environment in magic. These four decks are about as perfect and balanced and fun as commander precons can be. @ethanfleischer.bsky.social's absolute best works to date, and thats saying something because Ethan never misses

As always, I bemoan how much phone companies have fucked up autocorrect, which was a solved problem, with their need to AI train

the "adapt or die" people failed to consider the secret third option of forming a neoluddite community where I'm selling my latest video game on usb sticks in a little lemonade stand

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

Imagining a world where wotc throws some of those record profits at a dedicated printing/distribution facility specifically for secret lair so everything can be printed to demand without disrupting print timelines for other products and can get to people in a reasonable amount of time.

I have another giveaway this week! This time it’s a Jace token with a pencil sketch of Tam on the back! Just repost and be following me on Sunday October 4 for a chance to win it.

As someone who endeavours endlessly to make the games industry accessible to everyone, everywhere - the answer to this person is: no, we don't, yes, you are.

i posted an epiphany i had about why i hate AI so much on fedi and i wanna post it here but it won't fit and i don't wanna cut it down to size so fuckit i'm just posting a screenshot

there is no skill these people don't consider a means to an end they want the experience machine they're begging for their AI models to create it, to hook them up to the machine

This year has been a real pain for moderation. We explicitly said no genAI, yet we still have people thinking that doesn't apply to them or that we won't notice. The most egregious ones are the ones that generate the text which explains how their game adheres to the jam's themes.

Dear trans people who see this: you are all very brave, and I could never be as brave as you. I cannot express the respect I have for being yourself even if it makes the world hate you. That is all.

I don't need Internet to do programming. Heck I don't even need a computer. I can program and execute small virtual machines with a pen and paper to test my algorithmic ideas. In fact I've been doing exactly that for almost 20 years already when I'm not near a computer.

A month and a half later, my pc is functioning once again!

A group of 25 Fields Medalists, including myself, have made a joint declaration on Math and AI: mathandai.org . We welcome additional signatories. See also this article in the Economist announcing the declaration: www.economist.com/science-and-...

There is apparently no more searing hurt than an "AI" fluffer discovering their favorite science fiction writer disdains their beloved spicy autocorrect, it's a pain only matched by a conservative learning that their favorite rock band has been Marxist the whole time

I like to think that some part of Jace's subconscious made these Sphinxes. And as a Blue player, this is exactly what Green looks like to me. I play Land-pass on turn 3, I look down at my hand, plotting my path to victory. I look up and Green has access to 4 lands, 3 elves, and 17 mana. #MTGFRA

FWIW I don’t think that AI is an existential threat, nor on track to become one. I do however think that the leaders of the biggest AI companies, AI’s strongest boosters, and some of the folks who are most adept at using it to exploit others are actively hastening along OTHER existential threats.

If not for Tim Curry, Brennan wouldn't have gotten a job at CollegeHumor, and Dropout would be a very different place today...

People who don’t know the difference between ‘entomology’ and ‘etymology’ bug us in ways we cannot put into words.

"AI" has existed in its current form for barely four years and the fact that it's jammed up the cognitive development of an entire generation that fast (and that there's a specific overclass of techofascists who are deeply thrilled about this) is a big damn red flag. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/17/u...

Yeah it's called Eternal Skies. It's like a card game, you know like Magic the Gathering, but you play the computer and there's a story. It's like the old Pokemon TCG on game boy or the old Yugioh games on handheld. Or the 1996 MTG game but that's a bit of a deep cut. It's an under served genre.

Who needs sleep when you have game dev 😅

With Sega (my former beloved) now jumping on the AI slop train, I'm seeing people say well everyone usea AI now at least for code! No, they don't. And here are 3 starter packs of game devs who don't use ANY AI The slop is not inevitable go.bsky.app/6DRdowf go.bsky.app/AS5R4p7 go.bsky.app/7K7JDCJ

I'm not a fan of the mass build out of AI data centers, but I do appreciate the more moderate position in this CBC article. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...
