We've been a fan of Cory Doctorow's work for a very long time - and his new book has 4 days left on Kickstarter:

The Reverse Centaur's Guide To Life After AI:

Bonus quote by music legend Brian Eno! Can't argue with that.

Pasted from the campaign itself, so you can get an idea of what the book is about:

A book for people who are sick of AI bullshit

I wrote this book because I was totally fed up with how much space AI was taking up in the world, in our conversations, in our policy, and in our economy. In a reasonable world, we'd call these AI tools "plug-ins" and we'd use them or not, based on our assessment of whether they make sense for our use. Employers wouldn't be spying on their employees to make sure they were using AI. Schools wouldn't be determined to teach "AI literacy" to our kids. Governments wouldn't be handing over the last drop of potable water and the last Watt of power in our grid to speculative data centers.

Some AI uses are fine. Others are foolish. Some are incredibly destructive. But AI as a technology just isn't that important. Sure, some of this stuff makes for a cool demo, but this is tech, there's a new cool demo every couple years.

What is important is the indiscriminate, uncritical way we're integrating this defective, wildly unprofitable technology into our governments and businesses. We're replacing people who do jobs with AI that does those jobs badly, and then, when those AI companies (inevitably) go bust, we'll have nothing. AI is the asbestos we're shoveling into the walls of our civilization, and our descendants will be fixing the mess for generations.

Nova Drift iOS & Android version 1.2.346 is now live - we took some of the most pressing issues from launch an hotfixed them:

- Rare crashes
- First time users are asked to choose between joystick or L/R buttons
- Expanded hitboxes on interface buttons

Other improvements are in the works: touch control tweaks, edge case crashes, and a save & quit feature...

Which Homestead biome are you looking forward too the most?

[Pixeljam @pixeljamgames]

5 days until Nova Drift Mobile drops!

And when it drops it will make a KABOOM heard round the cosmos.

Or just a loud popping sound, we will see.

[Pixeljam @pixeljamgames]

@2_left_thumbs Congrats Graeme, awesome news!

[Pixeljam @pixeljamgames]

When we added swords to Nova Drift, I really wanted to rename the game 'Super Space Sword' and redo all of our marketing materials around it. Fortunately Chimeric talked me out of it.

Anyway Nova Drift launches on iOS & Android March 10th!

Did you hear? Did you hear? 📢
There's a contest going on in the Pixeljam Discord!
Beat this one map and get $25 bucks.
Fun stuff like this happens all the time, so comes say hi!
(I am not liable for any frustration this map creates.)

[Pixeljam @pixeljamgames]

@Everette @pitdesi Just our 2 cents but we (and I bet most game devs - digital or tabletop) prefer existing Kickstarter over "capturing the most value" Kickstarter. It's nice to have a few companies left in our corner that didn't succumb to enshittification.
