  • this writer desperately needs a vacation and needs to stop writing gaming reviews cause apparently it’s made him an overly dramatic, cynical weirdo.

    "*Can There Be More Professional Game Reviewers Again?

    It’s hard to see how. That takes money, and we’ve all been trained to not pay money for reviews. I used to actually subscribe to game magazines, with actual dollars! I haven’t done it in a long time.

    So whose fault is it that game reviews are pointless now? It’s mine. And probably yours.*"

    just because you’re tired and jaded doesn’t mean everything is hopeless. the bit about the steam reviews was extremely telling, honestly. this is a whine-piece. nothing more.












  • the headline is scary, but the article is scarier, honestly.

    “I learned about the incident from Chakrabarty, a computer-science professor at Stony Brook University. I’d previously written about his efforts to quantify the proliferation of AI in novels self-published on Amazon. After commenting on Tuch’s post, he plugged the whole column into the Pangram AI detector. The program estimated that more than 60 percent of it was AI-generated. I ran the column through four other AI-detection tools: Two of them flagged 30 percent of the work as likely AI-generated, one found no AI, and one suspected AI but offered no percentage.”

    i think 30% is almost scarier than the 60 or the potential of a 100% article. that someone would rely on it and disperse it into their own work means more people get used to reading it and it being a part of their every day routine.

    unknowingly consuming partial slop sucks.
