The subtext of every bit of communication from AI companies is ‘we’re just trying to look busy for 6-12 more months’
1. Are you currently using an AI tool for work-related tasks or projects? * Yes * No, but I would like to (PLEASE SKIP TO QUESTION 7)
My employer asks me to complete a survey on AI usage for which this is the first question (required):
if this doesn't sum up the tech-ai-forcible-use bullshit in a single question 🫠 oh how i hate them!!!
I say this every year, but:
The uni students I'm teaching are thoughtful, intelligent, will make everything they encounter better.
With a new addition for 2026:
They deeply hate AI.
I especially enjoy how it says it's a character driven story when only the last couple sentences even mention characters, and even then only using them to make comparisons and still saying nothing about those characters

The ESA and game preservation The ESA has repeatedly pushed back against game preservation efforts, and continued to do so here. In its argument, the organization said a "substantial market" still exists for classic games, including secondary markets.

(the ESA has been THE primary organization advocating against the Video Game History Foundation's efforts to allow online access to their library of preserved games, for the record - JUST IN CASE anyone wants to sell them someday)
Unpopular opinion, but a lot of this "doing it right" mentality is how we wind up with games all feeling the exact same.
Difficulty spikes, weird controls, ropey onboarding all of it critical to prevent games feeling like they're ground down and pumped out safe mush.

counterpoint!
the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time
