Any time we hear "AI did this and this", it's not proof programs are becoming sentient, but that the humans deploying said AI did this (which is generally failing to deploy proper sandboxing measures to prevent an AI from going against security) It's not the AI that's rogue, it's the company

1) So You're A Game Designer Who Needs Advice From a Historian? Games with historical/historically inspired settings/themes are great. Occasionally an email pops into my university inbox from someone seeking advice, feedback, consultancy, and so on. As the advice-seeker, what's the best approach?

This is such a lovely, unerring review of SPINE. I'm going to start using it as a video overview! Matt creates such high quality videos, from reviews to APs. I'm grateful that someone who puts such care into their work is willing to spend their time on something I created. Please give it a watch!

I am a pro-union Governor, and I was glad to meet with the United Campus Workers today. I continue to encourage the University of Kentucky to work with and support these hardworking Kentuckians – who have helped the university succeed – through the good pay and benefits they deserve.
