  • Ugh. I get ai is bad but what about the small indie developers who are just using it to make modeling references instead of paying for modeling references? The prices of a lot of that stuff are absolutely criminal. What about using it to generate model textures instead of buying overpriced bloatware from the unity store that’s probably stolen anyway? Surely there is at least some acceptable use case for ai. Fuck large corporations and everything they’ve done to destroy the economy and the job market, don’t get me wrong. Absolutely fuck them.

    It’s not like indie devs can afford to pay for Hollywood actors. If this is to become a conflict of “professional actors vs small developers” then shit. This is a shitty conflict with no clear winner at best. For now these strikes may not effect indie developers but a future Clarence Thomas Signature Shitpost ™ of a supreme court decision sure will.








  • I worked at Lowes as a department supervisor because that’s the best job I could find despite having an IT degree. It eventually got to the point where management was forcing unrealistic expectations on us then regularly threatening to fire us for not meeting said unrealistic expectations. They eventually made us take over an entire other department’s responsibilities so that department could do nothing but sit around at their desks all day. We already were barely keeping up and now suddenly our workload more than doubled. One day I got called into the office and they demanded a plan for how I can improve my performance or I would be fired “for real this time”. I then turned in my 2 weeks notice. By the time my last day came around, my entire department had already quit.

    Fuck corporations. They are destroying America. They have destroyed the job market. We’re all going to be living in mud huts eventually.
