The prototype "Project Dream" developed by Rare and recently dumped, contains data from the baseball game Ken Griffey Jr.'s Winning Run. Namely the tilemaps and tilesets for messages like "Strike", "Ball" etc. (address 0x10000).

Sharing this video by Not Malcom because I care about other creators. If you accept game keys, sponsorships, payments, etc. to play / talk about a product you need to make that relationship clear to your audience. Failing to do so could result in legal consequences. www.youtube.com/watch?v=l84V...

The people who run the AI slop news site retroshell, also sell gaming T-shirts on playerclothing.com. They claim that "each tee is the result of almost 10 years of development." Here's their mission statement. Let's take a look at the tees.

Co-founder of Graveyard Keeper dev Lazy Bear Games regularly posts AI art & asks for help with AI gen code Going as far as feeding his own games art into the slop machine The game itself is from 2018 so it predates the stuff, but they announced a sequel & I expect it to be full of AI-gen slop

While I agree with the sentiment, how is it a "random bush"? It's the only bush on the entire map that's clearly blocking a path. A very suspicious looking bush if you ask me. I think it's very good and very intentional level design, that's the opposite of random.

Looking up Mega Drive games, I just stumbled onto a content farm channel called Retro Pocket. The thumbnails, the scripts, the audio, the descriptions, all of it is AI generated. 1000 videos in exactly 2 years. The few non-bot comments are eating this like it's their last meal. We're so cooked.

YouTube channel BrewSolves is still doing the James Somerton method of turning old books into videos. On top of barely paraphrasing the book and the FBI report, I noted 3 errors in 3 min. Also, on-screen quotes and b-roll footage add no value to the story. Just read Wikipedia or the fucking book.

Live your life without an audience.

"I was born in 1990 and I was sort of raised in America when it was a cult of self-expression, and I was just taught, you know: express myself and have things to say and everyone will care about them. And I think everyone was taught that, and most of us found out that no one gives a shit what we think...They say it’s the ‘me’ generation. It’s not. The arrogance is taught or it was cultivated. It’s self-conscious. That’s what it is, it’s conscious of self. Social media is just the market’s answer to a generation that demanded to perform, so the market said “Here, perform everything, to each other, all the time for no other reason.” It’s prison, it’s horrific. It’s performer and audience melded together. What do we want more than to lie in bed at the end of the day and just watch our lives as a satisfied audience member? I know very little about anything, but I do know this: that if you can live your life without an audience, you should do it." - Bo Burnham

1/ Oriental Pearl made a video in 2022 calling out the "language gurus" of YouTube. She and her guest make good points I listed here. She also emphasizes multiple times the exploitative nature of making money from a "position of power" (being a big YouTuber) with false claims.

In 2005, I wrote an article called "Inventing Akromiya" about how the government of Uzbekistan made up a group called Akromiya to justify a massacre of civilian protesters. Twenty years later, the US is more like Uzbekistan, and I wrote "Inventing Antifa": sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/inventing-...

In 2005, the Uzbek government invented a group called “Akromiya” to justify massacring protesters. Now I worry the US government will do the same.

The ending for Secret of the Four Winds also uses stolen assets: Last Blade - Moriya stage and Last Blade 2 - Graveyard stage. The foreground trees are from Far East of Eden: Kabuki Klash (Hudson, 1995) and the cityscape from a random gif from at least 2017.

The Super Famicom game Itadaki Street 2 has a mini-game of Bingo. Looking at the RNG code, I found a flaw in the draw algorithm. One of these four bingo cards is significantly better and one is significantly worse than the others. Can you guess which ones and why?
