I work in IT so I need gaming to prevent me from going insane.

Seems as though I am being severely misquoted here and Right to Reply is a real this, so here we go...

I said in my AI video that AI is a useful tool for many, but not a replacement for human or human creativity. I am being misquoted and misattributed into saying that I am anti-AI entirely, and thats NOT true or what I said at all.

I even discussed my absolute trash abilities in Photoshop specifically with Thumbnails so I have been trying out some things to help spice them up. Every day I get emails from people wanting me to hire them to make Thumbnails and the truth is, no I wouldnt spend money on that. But what is even funnier is that people are claming that my thumbnails are completely AI generated which is also untrue, for instance, here are the source images used for the cut-out versions of me below....

So where as I am not willing to hire a dedicated Thumbnail artist (believe it or not, neither Phil, Nic or Myself are any good at Thumbnail creation) I did however hire a Researcher this month to assist with our new Weekly News videos, as well as other interesting topics that deserve deeper investigation... I suppose I COULD have used AI for that, but thats an example of where I feel AI is dangerous, just using a search query, copying the results and calling it a day is exactly what a LOT of people are doing, and thats not what I believe it.

Also attributing to me having some assistance with creating Thumbnails is not the same as "Vibe Coding" which we KNOW is a real thing causing REAL problems...

I think all you have to do is look at the Profile of this guy to understand where his true biases are and you know what, good on him... He wears his bias like a badge of honor and hes entitles to it. Doesn't make him right, but hey, at least he doesnt hide it.

If you think thumbnail creation is a big problem, Id love to hear why.... the video is shot and edited by real people I have hired... unfortunately, we arent LTT with huge budgets to hire people for every task at hand, and Thumbnails are extremely low on the "to hire" list.

The Stop Killing Games movement has officially backed the proposed California bill focused on protecting players when online games are shut down.

> Publishers must provide an offline mode or a way to keep the game playable after server shutdown.

> If this is not possible, players should receive a full refund.

> The goal is to protect digital ownership and game preservation.

This proposal follows growing concerns over games becoming completely inaccessible once support ends, especially after shutdowns like The Crew.

Most gamers think that if players pay for a game, it should remain playable or be fairly compensated.

Rewatching Sword Art Online has me back playing VR games. VR sure has come a long way since it first came out. Can we please have full-dive VR already!? Maybe AI can build the specs for a Nerve Gear 😅
