I'm thrilled with this news - but this also mean that this propaganda machine is now only available to the ultra-wealthy and government.
Don't forget OpenAI just entered a partnership with the United States DoD.

We’re saying goodbye to the Sora app. To everyone who created with Sora, shared it, and built community around it: thank you. What you made with Sora mattered, and we know this news is disappointing. We’ll share more soon, including timelines for the app and API and details on preserving your work. – The Sora Team

@Willowstration Anything and everything to legitimize their ai server investments, and nothing that actually make games run better, or play better.
All for the low cost of a yearly $5000 GPU and probably a subcription service!

Just thinking about the stupid futility of the graphics arms race in games. Visible pores on your character’s nose don’t inspire players to hop back in. Just so beside the point, and yet it dominates the conversation at a time when the industry is really struggling 🤷♂️

@Luuminah Arachne because I'm a PvP person and that trailer from a few weeks back was insane! But I also absolutely love the Sekiguchi iconography!

Agreeing with a misogynist dog whistle video made by an alt-right political grifter sure is decision!
If you're excited for No Rest for the Wicked, just know who you're giving your money to.

I don’t understand why this keeps happening. When exactly has AAA decided that we should have middle management be in charge of game development and have them even represent the game and the studio while apparently thinking that this is what gamers want? I’ve never interacted with Holly Longdale before and she might just be a phenomenal PRODUCER, but she clearly isn’t equipped to talk about the product in an honest way that would get PLAYERS excited. It shouldn’t be that hard for these studios to interact with their fan base in an honest way that makes them feel heard, that makes them feel valued. In a way that lets them know that you have their best interest at heart instead of just seeing your fans as some alien entity that you have to analyze in order to get them to spend. People just want to hear from the folks that are actually in charge of making their experience better. So why create another Kathleen Kennedy type of situation when that approach just literally tanked one of the most profitable IPs ever created? 🤔 youtu.be/WZRCYECgbRk?si…

Don't piss me off.
Deadline@DEADLINE
EXCLUSIVE: Craig Mazin, co-creator of arguably the most acclaimed TV adaptation of a video game to date, HBO’s ‘The Last Of Us,’ will be taking on another hugely popular and acclaimed game title next, Larian Studios’ ‘Baldur’s Gate 3,’ which is set in the world of ‘Dungeons & Dragons.’ Unlike HBO’s ‘The Last Of Us,’ which retold the story from the PlayStation games, the ‘Baldur’s Gate’ TV series will be a continuation to the games, telling a story that takes place immediately after the events of ‘Baldur’s Gate 3,’ as the characters — old and new — are dealing with the ramifications of the events in the third game. More details: deadline.com/2026/02/baldur…

That AMA was writers saying genAI was shit from butt when they tried it, VA being safe from it because they’re unionized, and that they stopped using it for concept art after the backlash.
And then Swen would come in and say how much he still want to find a use for genAI 😩
VGC@VGC_News
Divinity and Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian has said that it won’t use generative AI to create concept art or in the process of writing Divinity, but the developer is still interested in using the technology in other areas. videogameschronicle.com/news/larian-ba…

We are no closer to AGI than we were 10 years ago, the current ai technology just got really good a mimicking and faking intelligence. It's snake oil, a plagiarism machine eating itself and our society. The only winners will be the ~3 men who will become trillionaire from it.
English
And no, it's not gonna get better.
The only way forward for ai is pumping it with more data and energy. Data is running out, and the energy requirement are exponential for marginal gains.
English
What a lot of people don't realize about ai critiques like myself, is that we're against ai, not because it's bad and ugly (it is). But because what it offers isn't worth all the damage it's causing environmentally, financially or societally.

AI consumed as much water as the water bottle industry this year. It also created as much carbon pollution as New York City, according to a new study.
English
This is really funny if you know why the price of RAM and SSD exploded lol
PC Gamer@pcgamer
Swen Vincke says the price of RAM and SSDs means Larian will be doing lots of optimisation in Divinity's early access 'that we didn't necessarily want to do at that point in time' pcgamer.com/games/rpg/swen…
English
There's literally 0 reason to use ai in creative fields, other than to cut corners and be more efficient. It's a symptom of capitalism, not a way to make better art.
Of all studios I thought Larian would get it, it's disappointing.
English
If all my peers are using ai to generate multiple concept arts a day, I'll have to do it too to survive. It's no longer a choice as soon as you allow it.
Swen Vincke @where?@LarAtLarian
Holy fuck guys we’re not "pushing hard" for or replacing concept artists with AI. We have a team of 72 artists of which 23 are concept artists and we are hiring more. The art they create is original and I’m very proud of what they do. I was asked explicitly about concept art and our use of Gen AI. I answered that we use it to explore things. I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art. The artists do that. And they are indeed world class artists. We use AI tools to explore references, just like we use google and art books. At the very early ideation stages we use it as a rough outline for composition which we replace with original concept art. There is no comparison. I talked about how we use ML here if you would like to know more: gamespot.com/articles/baldu… We've hired creatives for their talent, not for their ability to do what a machine suggests, but they can experiment with these tools to make their lives easier.
English
If you're using generative AI for concept art then yes, you DID use AI generated content in your game.
What the hell makes you think visual artists don't deserve the same respect as actors and writers?
KAMI@Okami13_
Larian CEO confirms the studio is using generative AI to "explore ideas, flesh out PowerPoint presentations, develop concept art and write placeholder text." He says there won’t be any AI-generated content in Divinity — "everything is human actors; we’re writing everything ourselves." (Source: bloomberg.com/news/newslette…)
English
To every Larian employees that have been pushing back on this, thank you and keep on fighting the good fights 🫡
English
Shorter dev cycle, generative ai, efficiency gain..?? I’m so disappointed, Swen sounding exactly like the industry and shareholders he has been criticizing for years. So so bleak, all of Larian goodwill is gone.
Knoebel@Knoebelbroet
'Divinity' will be turnbased and Larian aims for a much shorter dev cycle than 'Baldur’s Gate 3'. They will not use gen ai (for stuff in the final game) and everything will made by humans. 'Divinity' will be an early access game. bloomberg.com/news/newslette…
English
One of my hope for @divinity is that they go back to DOS style skill icons, instead of the more iconographic BG3 approach.
(psst @larianstudios I can help you make those - I'm sure you'll need a small army of visual artists to bring all of those to life!)
Larian Studios@larianstudios
The plot thinnens. With a 93 Metacritic score, the award-winning Divinity: Original Sin 2 is now yours to play on Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5! Upgrade for free or begin your adventure today and prepare for what lies ahead.

I'm always seeking gigs in the game industry (Branding, UI, illustrations...) It has been hard marketing myself, because all the cool games I'm working on are currently under NDAs. But I swear I've been cooking this year!
Please share, visibility is at an all time low 😩
