I have at times live-posted GDC sessions and now I’ve picked “Teaching Games with Games” where @alt254.bsky.social & @chouxsalad.bsky.social have designated this year’s 4-person panel topic as “teaching students about generative AI” without doing what S.B. describes as “cop shit” (policing AI usage)

Round 2 of the OCTOPAD OPEN! Beyond high score, I'm curious to see new Tetris strats emerge—should teams have both an A & B player for "L" pieces? What about a dedicated shot caller? Are laser pointers allowed and what does SELECT do? Drop by Boshi's for the answers to these questions and more!
