The anti-AI crowd in gaming is split between the devs and the players. For the devs, what you have are artists and designers who are afraid for their jobs (rightly so, because AI will shrink teams, though outsourcing and general cost competitiveness with global teams had been hollowing that out for years prior anyway) and have a strong political bent that emphasizes groupthink.
Players, though, are definitely gatekeepers. Console wars from the beginning were that. Incredibly strong tribalism in games when it came to packaged goods consumers.
However the people with that attitude tend to be a specific type (PC/console AA/AAA playing fixed price/premium content) and the younger generations and the players coming from China/SE Asia/etc. simply do not care. They came from mobile, some from PC, but these were always F2P-dominated markets. And now you have the Roblox disruption where 80% of games are AI and you have millions of players every day playing and not caring.

Lies, damned lies and then there is the Congress election manifesto “Abhaya Hastam”
Mr @RahulGandhi Since you’re in Hyderabad enjoying at the expense of Telangana exchequer, why don’t you answer simple questions about 420 promises, 13 declarations & 6 guarantees?
✳️ BC declaration: promised ₹ 1,00,000 Crore budget allocation for Backward classes
❌ Delivered: Less than ₹ 5,000 Crore in three years
✳️ Promised 42% in education, employment and govt contracts to BCs
❌ Delivered - ZERO
✳️ SC & ST Declaration: Promised a new scheme Ambedkar Abhaya Hastam ₹12 lakh to poor SC & ST families
❌ Delivered - ZERO
✳️ Promised 31% in govt contracts to SC and ST communities
❌ Delivered - ZERO
✳️ Youth Declaration: Promised 2 Lakh Jobs within 365 days, Rajiv Yuva Vikasam
❌ Delivered - 10 thousand jobs and Zero Vikasam
✳️ Student Declaration: Promised 5 Lakh Vidya Bharosa card
❌ Delivered - ZERO
✳️ Minority Declaration: Promised ₹4,000 Cr budget
❌ Delivered - Less than ₹1,000 Crore
The list is endless just like the saga of betrayal of Congress to Telangana

As someone who's spent 30 years writing game engines, I'm confused by all the outrage over #AISlop.
Where were you all when Unity and Unreal unleashed #EngineSlop on the world?
You're not a REAL game developer unless you write your own engine! 😉
See how ridiculous that sounds?

Shri @PriyankKharge has earned himself a new title: Karnataka’s Minister of Misinformation & Propaganda.
His obsession with the RSS has him so consumed by political vendetta that he seems to have forgotten the responsibilities of the offices he holds.

It’s truly heartening that our collective efforts have begun to bear fruit.
A huge shoutout to industry veterans like @rohithbhat who are ensuring the world comes ashore to our #SiliconBeach.
Their way of and willingness to give #BackToOoru will write this new chapter of our coast’s growth in the days to come. More power to every effort and voice in this direction.
That was quick!
The consistent efforts of our MP @CaptBrijesh and industry leaders like @rohithbhat and team of @itssiliconbeach deserves much appreciations for making it happen. Hope to see infrastructure upgrades too in order to cater to the booming economy of the city.

Remember HCU green murder where 10,000 trees were felled overnight destroying Kancha Gachibowli forest in Hyderabad?
Very similar scenes are unfolding at Satavahana University campus, Karimnagar, Telangana…right now.
Trees are being murdered, massive destruction is happening on campus which in inhabited by many animals including peacocks, deers & birds!
WTF is this development and who is even asking for this!?
The hate governments have for trees is unexplainable!
What is this obsession to destroy green cover?
Why so much hate for the environment?

So called Kannada Activism in a nutshell:
They have problem with Chatrapathi Shivaji Maharaj who fought for Dharma and nation but are perfectly okay with Tippu Sultan who massacred thousands of Kannadigas because they refuse to convert.
Tippu Sultan Statue: ಸಂಸತ್ ಭವನದಲ್ಲಿ ಟಿಪ್ಪು ಫೋಟೋ ಇಡಬೇಕು ಎಂದ ವಾಟಾಳ್ ನಾಗರಾಜ್ #TV9D

Here's the problem.
If a Muslim or Christian complains about #AirPollution he is anti-Hindu.
If a Sanatani complains about it, she is a leftist or dynasty supporter.
If a tourist complains he is disrespecting Indian culture.
If a scientific historian says there were no fireworks in this world when Lord Ram returned from Vanvas he is funded by foreigners.
If a sane centrist says her kids have a breathing problem she is asked to protest against the bombs in the Iran war.
Everything is reduced to an abusive binary.
That leaves statisticians wondering if they should come up with something called the Idiots-to- Citizen ratio.

🚨 WHO IS ACCOUNTABLE FOR BENGALURU'S UNPLANNED GROWTH?
There is a serious question for the Karnataka Government.
If special electricity-connection relaxations are being made for buildings up to G+3/S+4, what scrutiny ensures that large 10–15-floor gated communities coming up across Varthur–Sarjapur have all the necessary approvals and infrastructure?
🌳 Lakes and green spaces are under pressure.
🏗️ Trees are disappearing for construction.
🚗 Traffic congestion is increasing.
🛣️ Roads are dusty, damaged and full of potholes.
For the past three years, residents have watched construction expand rapidly, but where is the corresponding investment in basic infrastructure?
Before allowing more high-rise developments, ensure:
Proper, dust-free roads.
Traffic management and road widening.
Protection of lakes and existing trees.
Adequate water, drainage and civic facilities.
Transparent scrutiny of building approvals.
Development cannot mean more apartments at the cost of nature and citizens' quality of life.
The perception that rules can be bypassed and construction can continue without adequate civic accountability must change.

I have stayed in Bengaluru, Belagavi and Mangalore. I have been to Coorg, Chikmagalur, Hampi, Bijapur and Badami. With all due respect, this take is absurd.
Bengaluru is not even the best city in Karnataka apart from IT and urban life. Step outside it and every other district is cleaner, greener, people very friendly and far more liveable.
Comparing the rest of Karnataka to Bihar just tells me you have never actually been there. Visit once maybe?That is all it takes to know how wrong this take is

And, why was BDA portfolio not given to Bengaluru development minister @krishnabgowda ? 😐#IYKYK
Bengaluru: Hebbal Flyover will not be completely closed for 18 months, @BDAOfficialGok said on Saturday.
Vehicular movement will continue with phased diversions & regulated restrictions during construction of ₹445.7-crore elevated corridor.
Barricading will affect only one of the existing three lanes in each direction, leaving two lanes and service roads open.
BDA, GBA & Traffic Police will improve alternative roads, including New BEL Road and RT Nagar Station Road, before introducing diversions. The 1.74-km, four-lane corridor is scheduled for completion in 18 months. @mlanaharis @Captain_Mani72

Devotees waiting hours for darshan hurl slippers at screen showing DK Shivakumar’s pooja, protest VIP treatment
Anger erupts at Hassan’s Hasanamba Temple...Devotees waiting for hours protested after general darshan was temporarily halted during Karnataka CM DK Shivakumar’s visit with his fly
Some angry devotees hurled slippers at an LED screen broadcasting the CM’s special pooja, questioning why VIP visits should delay darshan for ordinary devotees

TVK MLA's will do well to remember that most of their voters don't know their names let alone know about them. The vote was for Vijay and Vijay alone. If you or I had stood on that ticket as Vijay's candidate we would have won. Throwing their weight around is totally unacceptable. If the TVK MLA is found to have slapped the individual who made the complaint, he should, at the very least, be suspended from the party and sacked from his post including Deputy Speaker. People are watching to see how Vijay responds.

In my childhood, I visited this temple without any trouble as my grandparent's house was right next to this temple and after we had our house built, visited it each year until I moved to Bengaluru. There was no concept of VIP darshana or segregation of queues.
I had played in the vicinity of temple when it was closed during remaining months.
Due to media hype & political interference, this has turned into a stressful affair every year & has turned into money making business in these 8-10 days.

Widespread CSR kickback networks are turning statutory obligations into private enrichment, severely undermining initiatives like Karnataka’s government school overhaul. The MCA must shed its systemic indifference, and the CBI must step in to unearth the full scale of the scam.

Lakhs of devotees wait for hours for Hasanamba Devi’s darshan, while CM DKS gets special pooja privileges with his family. Frustrated devotees even threw slippers at his video on the big screen.
Why this VIP treatment? Don’t ordinary devotees deserve equal respect and darshan?
