Yes it's true! Instead of the Game Awards I recommend watching my GDC lecture on the state of video game preservation. I put my entire ass into this and it would mean a lot if you watched. youtu.be/_00AjQNjgDk

Cancelled Disney and Hulu over their Kimmel suspension, and it looks like the time to resubscribe will continue to float just out of reach.

Cancel Disney today, if you still have it. Send the message.
BREAKING: Disney is making a $1 billion investment in OpenAI, and will allow its iconic characters to be on the company's Sora AI video generator.

One of the things that THE GOOD PLACE is ultimately about is that fragility and the inevitability of loss are parts of what makes humans important to each other. Allowing grief to exist instead of telling lies to yourself is a key part of retaining your soul, truly. You simply can’t defeat death.
There's something so existentially sad about this, like it's just meant for people who want to reject the meaning of death.

sing the song with me:

🎶 that's because AI super sucks, people are better than robots, so with any fuckin luck, AI will die and be left to rot 🎶
"US Census Bureau data show that AI adoption by companies with more than 250 employees may have *already peaked and began declining or flattening out this year.* Most businesses still don’t see a significant return on their investment when trying to use the latest generative AI tools"
