*Long sigh* Yeah it seems like this is exactly what's up, actually. This new "NaNoWriMo" 2.0 is AI all the way. prowritingaid.com/novel-november Their website tries *real* hard not to mention AI, but then you catch stuff like, "...ran it through Plot Analysis" and yeah that's kind of a giveaway.
So, wait, has NaNoWriMo rebranded as "Novel November", paid for by ProWritingAid, which used to be a spell/grammar checker but now is (you guessed it) an "'AI' grammar checker"--in short, yet another way for a griftslop machine to grab human-written text? Do I have that right?

buried lede here is that they're laying off most of their staff, i don't think a studio like dontnod will be able to survive with an outsourcing-forward model unless they undergo massive transformation of their internal practices

This is huge. Myself and many of my coworkers and friends who were dismissed suddenly last year were working toward this exact moment and while I’m sad we’re not there anymore to see it through I sincerely hope we see the cohort at Rockstar make the right decision 🤞

If you'd like to support me (for free) you could help out by wishlisting All-in-1 on Steam. It's at 2,000 wishlists now but hoping to reach 5,000 or (even better) 10,000 before release! store.steampowered.com/app/4059160/...

Between Tim Sweeney being an absolute AI chud and the harassment of our beloved @kenney.nl, we've decided to cancel our previously announced Epic Games Store release for Shape Sender Deluxe 🚮

It's a blatant display of intellectual dishonesty: he claims to believe that "AI" is the future of gaming development and it should be embraced, but he also seems to think its use should be a matter of privacy and not to be broadcasted to customers. Such an intolerable dipshit.
Steam's AI disclosures are akin to "forcing developers to list their voting history", says man who must hate seeing eggs virtue signal that they're free-range. https://bit.ly/4yHFEyK

Actions speak louder than words, personally I was in talks with Epic to get all my game assets on their Fab.com marketplace (for free) but cancelled the deal immediately. If they want slop, let them have slop.

It’s amazing, on multiple levels, just how much american arcade operators, and more broadly, developers, rushed to turn their playerbases into pure cattle; they went so far as to construct a reality and industry in which being treated like cattle is an ideal for players to seek out in art software.
It's a lesson on how much these systems can shape player perception, not just of an individual game but of entire genres and eras of gaming. In the case of beat 'em ups, the continue system literally flattened them to the point where most people can only distinguish the themes.
