‘Wildwood’ director Travis Knight on AI: “A pencil is a tool. A paintbrush is a tool. A 3D printer is a tool. A digital capture is a tool. AI is not a tool. AI can go fuck itself.”

Consolidation is killing our industry. The Gamergaters who make money off the rage game will have you think this is a victory. This is purely a loss. A loss of work and art and fun and expression in a space that desperately needs it. Massive fucking bummer.

This is somehow the funniest and most appropriate typo of my name I've ever seen

Rami Islami is one of the video game industry’s most prominent Muslims. He tells Hyphen why money, language and geography still limit who gets to make games — and why he’s working to change that. hyphenonline.com/2026/09/28/r...

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

Rep. Delia C. Ramirez has introduced a bill that would abolish not just ICE, but the DHS altogether, repealing the 2002 law establishing the agency and replacing it with one focused on protecting civil and human rights.

Am I just not understanding Substack? As far as I can tell it's just paywall blogs with email lists and Nazis.

I would read the hell out of an article collating historic quotes about the inevitability of NFTs and the metaverse from the current crop of LLM-poisoned boosters. Important context.

"I have been challenged to a duel," she said. "For kissing a woman." "Did she consent?" the swordmaster said. "Yes, but men courting her did not." "Ah. How many?" "Are these men good?" She gave three names. "Far below your level." "Excellent!" She rose. "There are more women I want to kiss."

It's a new week, Bluesky. Trust no poll. Trust no pundit. Vote early if you can. Vote in person if you can.

As always no AI was used in the production of Knights of Guinevere. Everything you see here was crafted lovingly by human hands and human hearts.

Historian here happy indigenous peoples day. Columbus was arrested by the Spanish monarchy for his atrocities. Italian American immigrants at the turn of the twentieth century claimed him. Wish they had gone with Mazzini or Garibaldi. Columbus was from Genoa long before Italy was united as a nation

Unity literally announced the "AI makes a game for you" thing as an April fool's joke in 2012 - dunking on the creative bankruptcy of the whole concept - before announcing it with a straight face just the other day.

“Hype is eating the future, and leaving us the bones.” Sun-ha Hong of UNC-Chapel Hill says the Silicon Valley hype machine systematically “borrows credibility from the future to purchase legitimacy in the present.” The cost, he argues, is a planetary-scale drain on our alternatives.

techpolicy.pressTech Hype is Cannibalizing the FutureEvery day, we are told that we live in the future—but hype is eating the future and leaving us the bones," writes Sun-ha Hong.

I'm increasingly frustrated that people who are anti-AI aren't being taken seriously, and taking a page out of my thoughts on why the anti-trans backlash got as far as it did I'm starting to think the anti-AI side isn't extreme enough.
