This article from @boardgamewire.bsky.social proves what ive been telling pubs was coming for years, but esp the past 18 months. @ Gen Con, in every meeting I was asked what's up in games, I said if you arent printing w/ a solo mode right this minute, you're behind boardgamewire.com/index.php/20...

Solo play is now one of board gaming’s defining mechanisms, university research of 104,000 titles finds -

Solo play ranked as the third most prevalent component in games released between 2020 and 2025, behind only dice rolling and hand management.

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

NEW: Nick Adams’ Foundation for Liberty and American Greatness has brought in millions in donations and helped him land a State Department appointment, but records show there is almost no indication FLAG was spending that money on its stated mission.

i still just really feel like AI stuff is basically illegal. like I don't think a good faith interpretation of "fair use" entails vacuuming up everyone's intellectual property to build your chat bot. that sounds wrong to me

A gentle reminder that "Mount Rushmore" was carved by a KKK-associated white supremacist as a deliberate defacement of a sacred Lakota site, much as the same chud defaced Stone Mountain in Georgia to create a tribute to the Confederacy and white supremacy www.washingtonpost.com/history/2020... 1/x

The creator of Mount Rushmore’s forgotten ties to white supremacy

Sculptor Gutzon Borglum was deeply involved with the Ku Klux Klan while designing the Confederate memorial at Stone Mountain outside Atlanta

Fox at Mount Rushmore: They just said there is severe weather on the way. In fact, they said hail could be coming and they are urging everybody to get inside. We're going to get to shelter.

Forearm tattoo of a die cut sticker with a blue-turquoise background, neon pink & green leopard spots, and The Cheat holding a neon green glowstick, eyes closed, & his hand on the lightswitch. Above and below in script-font, it says "Disrespect Your" & "Surroundings".

#tw blood Yet another masterpiece from @tattoosbymars.bsky.social featuring @strongbadnofoolin.bsky.social's sidekick, The Cheat, and a record of his infamous grounding via lightswitch rave. One more sticker down, two to design, and then filling in the whole sleeve with color. So very excited :D

Told you. "Worse but cheaper" only works until it categorically fucking doesn't. "AI" cannot do these things and the people selling you on the idea that they can cannot be trusted.

Some amazing quotes in this article about how Ford replaced hundreds of engineers with AI, which broke a bunch of shit causing billions in damage and forcing them to rehire those people. www.the-independent.com/tech/ford-ai...

“Artificial intelligence is a fantastic tool, but it’s only as good as the information you use to train it,” said Charles Poon, Ford’s vice president of vehicle hardware engineering.
