Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

when ai leaves u behind
7 panel comic.

Panel 1:
A Red Guy with AI across his chest looks like he’s about to run away. A Yellow Guy stands next to him. Red Guy says “I’m the future, buddy. You comin’?”
Yellow Guy replies “Nah”

Panel 2: 
Red Guy is almost out of the panel. He leans in and says “Enjoy getting left behind, pal”
Yellow Guy replies “ok”

Panel 3:
Yellow Guy stands alone.

Panel 4: 
Close up on Yellow Guy, there is a quiet “huff-huff-huff” noise coming from behind him

Panel 5:
Yellow Guy turns to look behind him

Panel 6: 
Close up on Yellow Guy’s face as if from the point of view of an attacker.
Yellow Guy yells “Jesus Christ”

Panel 7:
AI Red Guy is now chasing the Yellow Guy. 
Red Guy: “Use me”
Yellow Guy “No”
Red Guy “USE ME”

“Every country has bad actors, agitators, hooligans, extremists, and criminals. Yet virtually no one treats them as proof of some deeper national pathology. We do not routinely speak of “French violence,” “Australian extremism,” or “South African criminality” as though the actions of a fringe automatically define an entire society.”

Surely at this point, writing about Xbox games deals without mentioning the BDS call (that's been echoed by so many people in the games industry) has to be journalistic malpractice. Is that not an extremely important piece of context to have for a KOJIMA GAME?

Great piece of criticism - its arguments relevant outside of games media too, because our media in general seems to have lost its criticality (re: US, Israel, AI and tech sycophancy) and its ability to interrogate systems, power and propaganda.

Coverage of My Book Being Banned Proves the Thesis of the Book
A library in Australia “removed” How to Sell A Genocide from its shelves, and the media’s coverage of it committed at least three of the tropes I document. Let us review them.
