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.

Jason Arday
“It’s a strange thing to spend almost twelve years of your life without language,” begins chapter one of Jason Arday’s forthcoming memoir, Great and Unfortunate Things.

This claim – that Arday was illiterate and could not speak until just before secondary school – is one of the book’s most incredible, given the heights of academia he would go on to reach. But it is by no means the only one relating to his school days in south London.

Indeed, the ex-Cambridge professor recounts how, as a young boy, he was only able to attend mainstream school for one day a week. When he built up to full-time, Arday claims, he was frequently removed from class on account of disruptive behaviour and “whisked… away to a small room with one solitary window”. He says he could not read or write until he was taught to do so by a girlfriend, aged 18.Cambridge took advice from pro-BLM group before hiring Arday

The University of Cambridge will review its HR procedures after losing an employment tribunal that found it had “shut down” a whistleblower.

Prof Deborah Prentice, the vice-chancellor, said she had asked for “an audit of our HR procedures and practices” after the case.

Prof Wyn Evans, a professor of astrophysics within Cambridge’s Institute of Astronomy, brought the case and claimed he had been victimised after raising concerns about bullying and misogyny at the university.

Prof Prentice was implicated personally in the tribunal for “mishandling” the professor’s complaints, and has been accused of a failure of leadership.

She is also under mounting pressure over the Jason Arday fiasco.
