I'm really enjoying your play through: the slower pace, moving the camera around, thoughtful commentary, trivia and insights are a wonderful change from most

In summary: AI rots critical thinking, hallucinates, is shaped by the hyper-wealthy pedos that own it, its data centres guzzle water we can't spare, it will help lay off millions, we can't trust photos anymore & it keeps recommending nuclear war. But yeah, nice memes, dipshits!!

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

He witnessed a migrant death at an ICE detention center, then was deported A deported witness describes the death of Geraldo Lunas Campos at an El Paso ICE facility, alleging guards beat him while he yelled 'I can't breathe.'

"He was yelling 'I can't breathe, I can't breathe' as they hit him"

DHS deported one of the witnesses to the death of Geraldo Lunas Campos at Camp East Montana. He was held in disciplinary segregation at the time when guards choked the 55-year-old Cuban immigrant to death.

I have zero reason to believe that an AI couldn't "come up with Tiny Towns or Flip Seven or Cubitos". I can prompt any of several AIs RIGHT NOW and get ideas for games as good as those. The gaming industry doesn't exist because humans create otherwise unobtainable ideas. It exists because many many previous games exist, feed into the minds of designers, who produce new variants on those themes. People then apply risk capital against those ideas to see if there's a product market fit. Sometimes there is, and sometimes there is not. (In fact, much more often than not).

Extremely occasionally (twice in my lifetime: D&D and Magic: the Gathering) a human has produced an all new form of gaming entertainment. Those moments are so rare and incandescent that they echo across decades.

Game publishing isn't an industry of unique special ideas. It's an industry about execution, marketing, and attention to detail. All things AIs are great at.

A British grandmother with a valid visa detained by ICE for 6 weeks.

"So why did ICE detain her, and keep her locked up for so long? ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. 'Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that,' Karen says."

I couldn't talk about this publicly when playing it for IGF but any close friend of mine can attest that I would not shut the fuck up about it. The funniest game I've played in forever and a deeply engrossing take on match 3-driven metagame.

Pixelart of a pale woman with medium-length hair and dark eyes with glowing pupils, looking slightly down at the viewer and wearing gold ornaments that outline the shapes of bra, shorts, an armband and a face mask, but instead of concealing anything these areas expose reddish bones underneath the skin and flesh. Pale wisps of magic emanate from the edges of these cutouts and swirl around her middle and ring fingers on both hands

About one of the Trump accusers in this piece:

“The interview [with the alleged victim and her attorney] was conducted July 24, 2019, and entered into the FBI’s case files on August 9, the day before Epstein was found dead in his jail cell.”
