Some of our members in Game Workers Unite Ireland were in Paris for a game union summit today and joined the STJV and other European game worker unions for a solidarity protest outside Take Two offices.
The blatant union busting firing of the Rockstar 31 workers can not stand. Reinstate them now!

A Class of Functionals on the Sequence Space $s$ Satisfying the Palais-Smale Condition
We introduce a class of functionals on the space of rapidly decreasing sequences $s$, called $\mathcal{F}_s$-functionals, defined as decomposable sums of quadratic and convex terms with quadratic growth. We prove that such functionals satisfy the Palais-Smale condition and admit a unique global minimum. Furthermore, we show that the Palais-Smale condition is preserved under linear homeomorphisms. This allows us to construct corresponding functionals satisfying the Palais-Smale condition on Fré…

A Markovian Framing of WaveFunctionCollapse for Procedurally Generating Aesthetically Complex Environments
Procedural content generation often requires satisfying both designer-specified objectives and adjacency constraints implicitly imposed by the underlying tile set. To address the challenges of jointly optimizing both constraints and objectives, we reformulate WaveFunctionCollapse (WFC) as a Markov Decision Process (MDP), enabling external optimization algorithms to focus exclusively on objective maximization while leveraging WFC's propagation mechanism to enforce constraint satisfaction. We emp…

Operationalizing AI: Empirical Evidence on MLOps Practices, User Satisfaction, and Organizational Context
Organizational efforts to utilize and operationalize artificial intelligence (AI) are often accompanied by substantial challenges, including scalability, maintenance, and coordination across teams. In response, the concept of Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) has emerged as a set of best practices that integrate software engineering principles with the unique demands of managing the ML lifecycle. Yet, empirical evidence on whether and how these practices support users in developing and operat…
