Apparently some people did not know about the use of AI in the new game from THE EXPANSE franchise and the studio Owlcat did not put the obligatory disclaimer in the Steam page. I am here to make you aware of it. Spread the word. www.eurogamer.net/owlcat-gen-a...

Owlcat uses gen-AI while making The Expanse: Osiris Reborn
"We don't use it to create any assets that will be in the game," says Owlcat, developer of Mass Effecty game The Expanse: Osiris Reborn. But where is the line?

NEW VIDEO: What's behind the rise of teens spying for Russia? Last year, Ukraine warned teens against becoming unwitting spies for Russia's FSB. Shockingly, some say they were recruited via a fake “quest” game, which one official said was “like a game of Pokémon Go, but with air defence systems.”

Unpopular opinion: this was a good idea by Duffy. It was also a good idea when FAA did it in 2021 under Biden. I have begged agencies for years to get more creative in how they recruit next generation staffers. My concern is if the agency is cutting corners on vetting and training.
