Let 10,000 Heads Bloom feat. Brian Merchant

It's the free one! 

Brian Merchant (@bcmerchant) returns to discuss Elon Musk’s frantic UK civil war wishposting, and the role of his particular personality in encouraging right wing insurrection around the globe. Then, we move on to discuss Brian’s piece for Wired about what AI is already doing to the games industry—deskilling and displacing artists, and driving down quality. We end by asking: why on earth are we doomed to automate the arts?

Check out Brian’s article for WIRED about AI in the games industry: https://www.wired.com/story/ai-is-already-taking-jobs-in-the-video-game-industry/

ai allows you to disingenuously claim that no one on your staff created those bogus celebrity endorsements or rally photos.

This episode sounds like the rational version of the ad artist in Mad Men that went crazy because of the “computer” added to their office in 197? He was right just 50 yrs too early

if generating no name players for a back catalogue yearly videogame franchise update is the wedge issu that allows AI into the digital arts professions then fuck me ... still think it's bad but damn

Not really germane to anything, but deeply funny for Riley to come to the precipice of "are games art?" and then kind of nudge it over the line like [insert your least liked rugby union team here].
