A WIRED investigation finds that major players like Activision Blizzard, which recently laid off scores of workers, are using generative AI for game development.
It’s not a good article. I was following along until, 5 minutes in, it suddenly decided to be detailing and describing exactly what AI and LLMs are. Like, long after showing some of the ways it’s hurting the industry, presumably to pad words.
For every shitty article pushing AI hype out there, there’s a shittt article pushing AI hate. Extremism generates clicks.
I thinks there are some nuggets of good information in there. The bits on first-hand accounts from former and current Activision employees, and on how it’s mostly the concept artists that are hurt is interesting.

I’ll ask ChatGPT to pull out the key takeaways for me so I can have an unreliable summary of a tedious article.
For anyone interested, here’s what I got. I vouch for none of it.
Sure, here are the key takeaways from the article:
Workplace Changes Post-Pandemic: Many companies are reevaluating their workplace practices and considering hybrid work models as a permanent option.
Employee Expectations: Workers are increasingly valuing flexibility, remote work options, and better work-life balance, influencing employers to adapt their policies.
Talent Attraction and Retention: Companies are focusing on how to attract and retain talent through flexible work arrangements and enhanced benefits.
Impact on Office Spaces: There’s a shift in how office spaces are used, with a trend towards creating collaborative and social spaces rather than traditional workstations.
Technology Integration: Businesses are investing in technology to support remote and hybrid work environments effectively.
These points highlight the evolving nature of work environments and the adjustments organizations are making to meet new expectations and technological advancements.
