Kojima needs to make a game for the Playdate. @panic.com will not stealth drop his project. Yo... going a bit smaller on the budget might even lead him to make something remarkable.

6. We also know these systems impose biases and prejudices that aren’t always apparent to end users on social and political topics. I would bet money they are doing it in science, too. They are like an ontological nuke on the entire system of knowledge.

UK publishers / media owners - have you turned off AI overviews in Google Search Console for your site(s), and if so, what impact has it had? Should be a no brainer decision as this post says it won't affect rankings, but I'm wary that's actually not true!

UK publishers allowed to opt out of Google AI search results

The Competition and Markets Authority says it would put publishers "in a stronger position to negotiate content deals with Google".

Increasingly likely that I will click a game review, get 3 paragraphs in and think, "Wait, this is just listing features in a bland, chirpy style and seems to repeat or revisit points from sentence to sentence as not aware of what was just written... ah f*ck". Depressing as hell.

Said the same to myself. Glad to see others caught it. In 1983 the Famicom and Sega's SG-1000 were released. The Japanese industry was roughly the same in terms of sales to the US. To be fair THE US market did nose dive, but globally games were flourishing artistically, so to speak.
