He’d just use his standard response of “i nEEd to sEe tHe DatA” But also seeing the data is not the same as reading and comprehending the data, and making decisions that are informed by said data, which is what the job entails

Your reminder that Glaze and Nightshade are free standalone apps you can use to protect art or 3d renders you post online from style mimicry. If you got a RTX 2060 or beefier, Glaze takes a couple minutes on a roughly 1-2k image. With Nightshade you're looking at least 30min

Every person who says "of course there are some uses for LLMs" should be forced to immediately list what those uses are, taking into account that: a) they cannot be accurate and there is no way to make them accurate b) they have been repeatedly shown to make users dumber and worse at their jobs

Yesterday we visited Green Mountain Falls, CO to visit the kinetic sculpture Off the Beaten Path by Patrick Shearn. I wasn’t ready for just how dynamic it was even in the slightest breeze. Reminds me of a murmuration of starlings. Incredible artwork. It’ll only be up through October 19th.

I’ve been playing @twirlbound.com’s The Knightling (published by @sabergames.bsky.social). It’s an impressive achievement from a small team, full of delightful ideas and a huge world packed with platforming action, environmental puzzles, a super cool shield you can surf on and huge enemies. Play it!

Something I've been pondering lately: I think that every trans person I've known before and after transition, I have liked MORE after transition. That's not to say that I disliked them before, just that a person who is their full, unrestrained self is so much better.

Fun fact, you can care about the current state of the world and what is going on while being active in your community, & ALSO be stoked about your favorite musician/artist/game developer releasing something new. These two things can be true at the same time. Stop shaming people for finding joy.

Gamescom was such a blur that when I was talking about the Knightling I literally lost all sense of how many days were left until launch. Please use this as reference instead 😅

Don’t forget that we are also oftentimes responsible for planning the launch party 🙃

There’s not enough coffee in the world to redeem this
JC Lau (@drjclau.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah, unlike design or art where you can point to something and say “I did that”, production is the absence of a thing: crunch, blockers, etc. and it’s much harder to point to a blocker you removed and say “I did that” when the blocker doesn’t exist anymore to point to
JC Lau (@drjclau.bsky.social) reply parent
I think one of the tricky things is that producers are expected to be team managers, where that implies managing the team morale as well, and we’re also not given good tools for how to handle that so we just don’t 😭
JC Lau (@drjclau.bsky.social) reply parent
What a weird thing to be proud of saying
JC Lau (@drjclau.bsky.social)
When you take everyone on the team’s anxiety and you have nowhere to put it you just squash it deep down in your soul until it becomes a part of your personality 🫠 Also part of our job is to be good at catastrophizing so it’s a chicken and egg issue

For real though, after NFTs and when the AI industry crashes the economy, people really should listen to artists more. We called this shit with both of them from day one. I was so mad about it in 2022 that deviantart tried to get me to debate them in a Twitter space.
