A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

Good to see outlets get to where I was uh, somewhere between 6 and 18 months ago lol

"I ask all of you to think of it, graduates and families alike, let yourself dream of a future in which we can harness this amazing new technology to eliminate entry-level jobs entirely. Indeed, that work has already begun, and that future is now." /college kid booing intensifies "Wow okay,"

A "piece that was killed" is something we hear over and over again working with press promoting Dreams on a Pillow, not just now but across the years. In some cases the content had been fully written & was pulled right before or even after publishing. In others, it never was allowed past concept.

more broadly: the only solution I have to the problem of too many games / not enough players is to grow the audience, which imo means — market indie more indie games to more people, so that non-gamers come across not just one game they’d like to play, but this one & that one & then another

This is the University of Central Florida. So many people really have no idea how much kids hate this shit.

If the games industry had the power to make certain games a cultural phenomena with global hit sales, it would so all the time. However, the games industry cannot even agree on what "alpha" means

appreciate all the people replying to explain that one piece has become a symbol of IRL revolution, but in a funny twist—and in fairness, I don’t expect most people to know about this—aftermath was one of the first sites to write about that phenomenon aftermath.site/one-piece-fl...

Seeing how much money is pooling into indie animation kickstarters continues to represent to me how much audiences want fresh animation and how much studios are still beholden to private special interest instead. The issue isn't the content, its the delivery system.
