I finally finished Consume Me the other day and highly recommend it!
I’m not a heavy life sim player, so each loop felt like the right amount of stress and challenge to me. The gameplay *is* storytelling while also being super engaging and fun. Made me feel Jen’s story quite intensely

Feel like I've been screaming into the void a bit when I talk about how great Consume Me is and how people need to play it. Awesome to see something like this.

Engagement KPIs have been responsible for infinite scroll UI traps, RecSys radicalization spirals, public shame brigades, and basically every modern ailment novel to the past decade. At some point, you have to recognize that the problem isn't any one technology, it's the metric.
The company essentially turned a dial that made ChatGPT more appealing and made people use it more, but sent some of them into delusional spirals.
OpenAI has since made the chatbot safer, but that comes with a tradeoff: less usage.

well, I read it, and the salient, non-gross part is Lizza alleging, midsentence and without elaboration, that Nuzzi ran numerous “catch-and-kill operations” on RFK’s behalf, which would give her a role in both his appointment and the untold preventable deaths he has abetted in office. Cool.
