With the cost of games from the big developers constantly increasing while not actually providing any more value, and the increasing reliance on using LLMs to develop them, I think it's honestly just becoming a no-brainer for me to just play games from indie developers or my backlog at this point.

over the past few weeks several AI evaluation/cybersecurity experts have explained how what's happening is a result of human incompetence rather than "AI going rogue". I'm begging the media to show a shred of journalistic integrity and stop parroting what altman or amodei say

Upcoming vampire RPG Nighthawks has been removed from Steam search and delisted in certain countries as Valve classifies it Adults Only: 'It's very bad news for us'
The label "immediately makes the game persona non grata in several important countries like Germany".

We are aware that Steam has classified Nighthawks as an adult game and has excluded it from searches (and delisted it entirely in certain countries). We are working on it. Valve is under the impression that this game is way sexier than it actually is.

Fun fact: "Reviewing an AI made translation" is more work for translators than just translating it themselves, because AI translations do not pass the sniff test beyond the most superficial. It's a loophole companies use as an excuse to underpay translators, and nothing else.

Seeing the Romancing Saga 3 remake reminds me that I haven't actually played the Romancing Saga 2 remake yet so I'm going to fix that.

If I ever got Mega Man Legends 3 but discovered it had Gen AI used in ANY part of the development process, I wouldn’t buy it. Doesn’t matter how good it is. Doesn’t matter how long I’ve waited for it. Zero tolerance. That’s what’s needed from this point on.

This is the most fucked up and immediately harmful policy decision I think I've ever seen in adult trans healthcare in the UK, and that's saying something. The Welsh Gender Service is one of the best in the country. It is widely praised by the patients it helps. That is why it is being targeted.
