The trend for it being impossible to talk to a pharmacist is so incredibly frustrating. Tried calling my local cvs and I had to negotiate with an AI to get the βprivilegeβ of leaving a voice mail. I just want to see if they take a discount card for my stupidly expensive pain meds π

Incredible. When Eβn Mβk & his crew obliterated USAID in a weekend, they deleted a vast trove of publicly-funded knowledge: the Development Experience Clearinghouse. A Canadian high school student (!) happened to have downloaded the entire thing for a project. AidData has now posted it for all.
Before reimagining development data, remember what weβve learned
Why weβre publishing a free, searchable, and ungated archive featuring a quarter-century of USAID evaluation reports.

It continues to be criminal how views this music video has. Adam Tensta and Bolly Kraven kill it here, along with all the actors! youtu.be/cKd597zUyjI

SCOOP: 404 Media placed a tracking device in a shipment of rare books to see which AI company was buying it. What did we find? It ended up at an Amazon facility where Amazon scans and destroys books. Yes. This is literally the logo outside the Amazon warehouse door. Read now:

David and Leigh Eddings. I loved their books as a teen and young adult! Then it came out that they were child abusers, and had their children taken away due to how bad it was, and I just canβt read those books anymore
Question for the Skyline: What was your HARDEST "cancel"?? Like the actor/singer/athlete that was the hardest to drop. I feel like it's always people I don't fw getting canceled so it's never really a loss. The hardest one was maybe TI because I actually liked multiple albums by him.
Time for some nostalgia and newness rolled into one!
TIL that bisexual supposedly no longer means being attracted to trans men and women, only cisgender, and I donβt want to change my hearts in my name as I like the color combo more π
I am on a fresh save in Binding of Isaac after buying it on PC, as I got it originally on PS4. Itβs been fun re-unlocking and discovering things! Making a lot of quick progress:
When an Azazel run goes well, it goes real well. Look at all those hearts!
Saber PR responded to my post by saying that the story was written by people and no writers were replaced, buuuuut also that the game uses AI generated text and voices. Cβmon man lmao
Saber Interactive denies replacing writer with ChatGPT on its new driving game, but says it will use AI for dialog 'as the number of passengers in the game is infinite'
Despite the admission, there's currently no AI disclosure on the Rideshare "Stimulator" Steam page.

I didnβt even see this had been announced. I was lead writer on this one! And Saber replaced me with ChatGPT midway through development. All the passenger voices were AI too. Either they changed direction at some point or theyβre not disclosing it on Steam
This is the greatest Yakuza meme Iβve ever seen!
So, hey, @spryfox.bsky.social's title, Spirit Crossing, sadly does in fact use GenAI. Dev's have confirmed as much in their Discord. There is a Claude file in the game files for the playtest that started a conversation about it, and sadly, that will be the end of it for me. I'm heartbroken...
A game nobody worked on got 15k reviews so I bet we can get 1k wishlists for my merfolk power fantasy rpg that I work hard on and only hire human artists for. We can't be that far off. 1k is the last new years resolution i have left to tick off. Hit the button and stay awhile.

well congrats everyone, after the success (15k reviews!) and positive media coverage that AI-generated-art library-sorting game on steam got, there's now a rapid wave of AI-disclosure sorting games releasing on steam

This video changed my life for the better. Thereβs nothing quite like a Tim Rogers review
Time to rewatch one of my favorite films of all time
There was a mass disabling event in recent history that could cause long term health issues including but not limited to mobility, recent studies showed that nearly half of those diagnosed with Long Covid have suffered mobility and balance deterioration. I imagine some may need mobility aids.
In a move that will surprise absolutely no one who's been paying attention, Stock has decided that women with disabilities are suffering from "social contagion"

Since we're getting closer to releasing the game, we figured it was time to cut up a new for They Speak From the Abyss: Zenith!
