You might have seen the original "no genAI seal" by @kanaratron.bsky.social. I've made the icon into a set of assets in both PNG and vector formats that can be more widely used in different contexts. You can find them here: www.joramwolters.com/no-gen-ai-ico/

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

Anyway play my demo or whatever store.steampowered.com/app/4429720/...
Should be 18+ imo, that's the legal age for gambling. Mechanics like these completely drain teen minds of normal reward responses, to the point where I get students who don't even get why you'd play a game that doesn't reward you with item progression
Games with loot boxes and gachas will now automatically receive 16 age ratings from European ratings board PEGI. The change is also applied retroactively to digital games. (Read more at Pocket Gamer)

Unity once again throwing what little goodwill they might have had whole-heartedly into the bin
NEW: Unity is automatically opting Asset Store creators into supporting its generative AI platform, Unity Spark, via a process called 'itemisation.' One dev told me the process should be "opt-in instead of opt-out" and said they are firmly against genAI. www.verticalslice.news/unity-opting...

This is a good list, I usually lead with "All of genAI was born from crime with the specific intention of harming (creative) labourers, no increase in output quality or efficiency will ever solve it's ethics."
I woke up, and want to clarify: Note that none of my arguments were - AI output is ugly/I can always tell - AI can't do my job well - AI looks different from human output These are not sustainable arguments. As AI evolves they will likely erode. That's why I wrote a huge list of DURABLE arguments:

Waving this sword about, the candles flutter and diminish, but draw blood with it and the wax refills and the flames roar ever brighter and hotter! #swordtember #TTRPG
I'm turning a couple of my favourite sketches into slightly more rendered item cards, they'll be system agnostic and don't sport any specific rules, just descriptions and vibes.

Having a lot of fun with #swordtember this year, keeping the renders very loose for sake of time but there's some fun ones in there I might render out later!
I'm a rebel; anyone in the public feel free to trade me whenever you see me on the street.
if you’re a games company that wants to survive it has been proven over and over again you need to do whatever it takes to stay away from being publicly traded. you’ll be turned into wood chips the moment it’s convenient.
