The biggest tell about this whole AI disclosure thing with AI bros and Tim Sweeney is that if Gen AI is so good then what's the problem with disclosing it, and if consumers are genuinely concerned about whether a game contains AI that it would impact their purchase, why would you want to hide it?

Let's be real, the only reason Tim Sweeney hate's AI disclosures in games is because he knows it hurts sales. This man does not give a shit about the state of the gaming industry insofar as it relates to quality as long as Epic can profit from it.

Genuinely what in the fuck is this goofy-ass apples-to-oranges comparison. He's crashing out because everyone is vocally telling him they want to know if what they're buying has AI slop or not.

The post Amy Acton’s Estranged Mother Killed Kittens, Court Records Show first appeared on Mediaite.

There's a greater conversation to be had about how this will end up being the red line for some people and not the other truly vile things to have come out about this woman, but Vivek doubling down on platforming her only for this to come out as well underlines how truly he deserves to lose.

He either knew or didn't care how evil this woman was because he thought it would damage his political opponent. Congrats on making your entire campaign be about what a massive piece of shit you are Just incredible levels of hubris.

Etsy were happy to let this continue for as long as they made money from it and I can only imagine they're doing this now because of the reputational and financial harm its done to their business.

People have got SteamOS running on android now. Literally just an android app you install and run and there it is, Steam. It still has to run through a compatibility layer, but it's astounding how well PC gaming has progressed on Android gaming handhelds. Basically just mini Steam Decks now.

I'm still a bit weary of signing into a third-party app with my Steam credentials personally but I've been using Winlator for so long now that I'm happy with the level of control I have over the various settings to get games running. Compatibility still isn't at the x86 level, but it's still great.

xAI, OpenAI and Anthropic (three for-profit companies) didn't all just come to the conclusion simultaneously that they need to slow down AI development because of AI safety. None of these companies have ever acted like safety is their foremost concern. They've hit a wall.

Very convenient that big AI companies can now tell investors the reason their new AI models are struggling to improve is because they're knee-capping the models on purpose because now they really really care about AI safety. Biggest corporate fraud in human history.

I don't quite know how to articulate it, but Sydney Sweeney now just now seems to be a parody of herself, where her single defining trait is that she's hot, it's all people every say about her, and solely how she advertises herself. Which is fine, but it gets to a point. She insists upon herself.

Sort of in the same way people say Sabrina Carpenter is undeniably pretty, but not hot. The hotness becomes such a performance that it all feels very artificial.

Also you can tell how shallow her presence has become in the way she's become default-hot-person people suggest for literally any female acting role now.

Saw a review of that new Wolverine game and man AAA gaming is becoming bleak. Out of control budgets for on-rails games that can't even trust the player to follow a linear path without making you follow a glowing trail and quick time events that just resolve themselves if you don't press a button.
