2K has announced that NBA 2K25, which released two years ago, will be delisted on 30 October, with online servers switched off on 31 December. The shutdown will make both competitive multiplayer modes and single-player modes unplayable. This schedule has become typical for the NBA 2K series.

NBA 2K25 still attracts peak concurrent player counts on Steam alone of over 3,000 players, according to SteamDB data.

No worries! I just wanted to know which discord alternative to finally settle on. Almost all alternatives are in EU which I considered a positive, but unsure now :( Good luck with the project and hoping for the best!

So this game called "Dverghold" came across my Steam homepage. Interesting retro vibes, apparently collabing with a dungeon synth artist for the OST. The art was kinda tickling my AI-dar though, so I scrolled down to look for any disclaimers.

It’s easy to see why the AI companies wanted to hide this from the public. The statements are some of the most damning indictments of the ways LLMs were trained, how they work, and the immediate threat they pose to human labor. @jasonkoebler.bsky.social reports. www.404media.co/doom-loop-op...

This is why I hate "just a tool" so so so much. You can make a calculator without access to every calculation. You can make photoshop without access to all photos. Someone show me a genai tool that didn't require all of our labour in its production. It's plagiarism software.

Two thoughts: 1. I was already leery of the game because the planned composer was generating AI music so I was going to keep it at arm’s length based on the weird sounding track in the trailer.
Tweets from Kuniaki Haishima:

It's fun to use Al to write lyrics, select a genre, and just press create, and two songs with vocals are produced.
I titled one "Vacuum Warrior" and made the lyrics heroic, and selected rock, techno, and hip hop as the music genres and created it. It's a complete roaring hip hop rock song, and the vocals are good too, it's awesome. (Haishima)

The way we perceive music is becoming more like, "This is good enough," but that means we have to keep up with this pace. (Haishima)

There are many many stories here. One of them, is that this is straight out of the tobacco & fossil fuel playbook. Have the same companies and billionaires fund "independent" institutes staffed by the same people, and "cite" their reports as "independent experts" showing "consensus."🧵

I love that AI companies have decided METR should count as a third party.

(METR) is highlighted in the following post.

Embedded Evaluators. Each frontier AI company commits to giving ongoing, employee-like access to a team of embedded third-party evaluators (such as METR), whose role is to verify adherence to safety practices and commitments, report incidents, and help assess the alignment of not just completed Al models but training pipelines and processes. This is the key step for verifiability of any pacing commitments, and has precedent in the
banking industry, which sometimes involves regulatory "supervisors" embedded along with employees. Anthropic is unilaterally committing to this step now. We intend this to be part of a broader push to redouble efforts on our safety and
alignment work.

Saber finally added the AI disclosure to Steam for Rideshare “Stimulator” and it’s even worse than I said it was. I can see why the CEO crashed out when I pointed it out.
Al Generated Content Disclosure
The developers describe how their game uses Al

Generated Content like this:
The main Campaign story, characters, and dialogue are written by a team of human writers. Al tools are used for voice generation and some localization.

The optional Free Ride mode includes Al-generated passenger missions and localized dialogue. Free Ride mode is separate from the main Campaign and can be skipped by players who prefer to experience only human-written narrative content.

The game also includes a mix of radio stations featuring human-made music and Al-generated music. Stations containing Al-generated music are clearly labeled as such in the game.
