Through the first two vols. of this and, my god, what a resource @brunodias.bsky.social has put together with this. I'm not a narrative designer, but if I had this resource when I was working as a games scholar would've deeply changed the trajectory of my work. www.gamenarrativereader.org

The European Union is working on its own web index to allow search engines based on the continent to stop relying on Google or Bing for their results. An important step to seriously sidelining those companies.

I do genuinely think AI could theoretically help with loneliness, maybe you just need someone to talk with etc etc but the issue is when you create something with no will that only exists to satisfy you and make you feel better, you end up making technology for sociopaths
