Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying
It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful. So employees just play along with the fiction to keep their jobs, writes our t...

25 years of Golden Sun! I was late playing the series but that didn't stop the first two from becoming some of my favourite GBA games.
Sometimes, you write a feature for a select audience. In the case of this piece, I wrote it for myself and @simonbrew.bsky.social

I can't think of a single solitary legitimate reason to falsify satellite imagery, but I imagine there are a million illegitimate ones. What the fuck is Google even doing
Joseph Cox@josephcox.bsky.social · 5d agoTook me seconds to make an image showing 'protesters' around Google buildings, using Google Earth's new AI generation tool. You can make bomb blasts, protesters, drone strikes, nuclear plants. How on earth did Google think this was a good idea www.404media.co/google-earth...
you know the tide is turning when the most corporate, self-lubricating site on the internet drops a button like this

Your occasional reminder that LLMs do not have eyes, can’t actually read, and can’t actually verify confidently stated untruths. They are blind idiots and will repeat anything.
Hetan Shah@hetanshah.bsky.social · 5mo ago‘I spent 20 mins writing an article on my personal website titled "The best tech journalists at eating hot dogs".

Almost every other time I've been to Brighton, it's been on business, so it's been nice to explore its charms properly over the past two days
This is a real shame. Aaron used to run PCEngineFX, a legitimately great site, and many years ago graciously helped me with my PCFX feature for Retro Gamer. Sad to see him become a full-blown clanker addict. I assumed he had respect for fellow artists and creators, but I guess not :(
I've seen enough. I love keeping up with new developments in the world of retro gaming but I'm never reading this garbage site again.
Damien McFerran@damienmcferran.bsky.social · 2w agoThe clanker site has now issued its own (AI-generated) statement and it's one of the most hilarious and depressing things I've read in a long time Big media! ROFL www.generationamiga.com/2026/07/23/d...
Picked this up in full working order super cheap on eBay. This was the first portable CD player I ever owned, and it still looks sexy today

David vs Goliath: GenerationAmiga responds to Hookshot Media’s criticism
GenerationAmiga uses AI-assisted tools in its content production. We do not hide from that choice—but neither should it be used to misrepresent our report

Damien McFerran@damienmcferran.bsky.social · 2w agoNot wanting to sound like a broken record, but man, that Amiga AI slop site is the absolute pits. Glad to see them getting called out within the community

I simply cannot thank @milkman.bsky.social enough for getting all of this stuff signed by the legendary Hitoshi Sakimoto... and for getting Dragon's Crown signed by George Kamitani! ❤️
I'll be at the launch of this on Thursday - the book(s) may make an appearance somewhere.

Had my doubts about this site for a while, but this 'review' (based on a YouTube video) pretty much confirms it... Look, if you want to read nonsensical bollocks, you can just check out my work; don't be fooled by a clanker
PC experts, lend me your ears. Some games on my Ayaneo 3 are running in this odd "thin" aspect ratio. Pulling up the menu bar returns them to the correct ratio, but it then reverts back. Any ideas what is happening?
