I have made this helpful flowchart to help people understand if the indie game they've heard of is a small indie game or not.
If you are not in the indie world, and you have heard of a game, it is enormous. It is an absolute massive smash success that 99% of indie game devs could only dream of.

"Gen AI" tells you the thing you are statistically most likely to accept so you keep using it— & research shows that most people who like "AI" like it *Because* it sycophantically tells them their ideas are great & should defs be implemented. So… Yeah.

A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

Federal weather enterprise rises to the occasion again with Melissa - thanks to volunteers and unpaid employees
