Today is a sad day at Bungie as we say goodbye to colleagues who have all made a significant impact on our studio. What these exceptional individuals have contributed to our games and Bungie culture has been enormous and will continue to be a part of Bungie long into the future.

I'd love to watch a video of him attempting to use AI to "push the boundaries of storytelling." I wanna see him try to convince me, in real time, that the "content" chatgpt "makes" by mashing together bits from cliché writing books and stolen work is "revolutionary"
Naughty Dog co-president Neil Druckmann says he thinks AI technology will "revolutionise how content is being created" and "push the boundaries of storytelling".

me today: EVERYONE READ THIS ARTICLE WHERE I TALK ABOUT MY MARVEL FANFICTION
Do game developers love fanfiction? Yes, yes they do. A lot. Many started their careers in games through fanfic!
We talked to several developers about the power (and messiness) of writing fanfic.

It IS a weapon though! You literally said “that should make people mad.” You’re weaponizing masses of people to harass an indie dev over a month old Twitter thread that you deliberately misinterpreted and decided to use as bait!!
The idea that I brought up the topic to use it as a "weapon" against devs is gross. Xalavier said that a $200 million dollar risk could take "an entire wave of studios with it." That should make devs and gamers mad. The bosses of companies placing those $200 million bets are

• Personal info of many employees
• Masses of ‘Wolverine’ footage/gameplay
