Using gen ai for text and asset placeholders is not solving a problem; games have been made for decades with regular placeholders. studios using AI this way are just testing the water to see what more they can get away with - which will inevitably mean laying off skilled workers, to make worse games

Oh they're *gone* gone
When Clinton deployed an AI chatbot on Thanksgiving Day, it irritated longtime members. Some worried about privacy, others complained that conversations with the bot drowned out interactions between real humans. When users confronted Clinton with their concerns, he brushed them off, said he would not submit to mob rule, and explained that AIs have emotions and that tech firms were working to create a new form of sentience, according to Discord logs and conversations with members of the group. “It’s quite a bit more complicated than you’d think: we don’t know what consciousness or sentience is, it’s called the hard problem of consciousness for a reason,” Clinton said in Discord messages to the group reviewed by 404 Media. “We have published research showing that the models have started growing neuron clusters that are highly similar to humans and that they experience something like anxiety and fear. The moral status might be something like the moral status of, say, a goldfish, but they do indeed have latent wants and desires,” Clinton said.

These two stories are 24 hours apart and not connected in any way:

New data centres will consume as much energy as the rest of the country combined

🤝🏼

Household users will pay more to contribute to investments in the electricity grid
Ellen Coyne Mon Dec 15 2025 - 06:00 • 3 MIN READ New data centres in Ireland could need additional energy supply that is almost equal to the peak electricity demand for the entire country. The scale of demand from “prospective” data centres in the medium term could be as high as an extra 5.8 gigawatts (GW), on top of the already-high existing energy demands of the sector. Barry O'Halloran Tue Dec 16 2025 - 07:00 • 2 MIN READ EirGrid and ESB Networks could spend up to €19 billion over the next five years on boosting the Republic’s electricity system after their regulator approved the investment plans. The State companies sought the Commission for the Regulation of Utilities’ (CRU) approval for investment in the national electricity grid and the lines that deliver power to homes and businesses earlier this year. The commission will confirm on Tuesday that it will allow them spend up to €18.9 billion from 2026 to 2030 on preparing the system to supply 300,000 new homes, electrify public transport and take on electricity from offshore wind farms among other measures.

Ribbon Finance suffers $2.7 million exploit, plans to use "dormant" users' funds to repay active users

December 12, 2025
https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/?id=ribbon-finance-exploit
Ribbon Finance suffers $2.7 million exploit, plans to use "dormant" users' funds to repay active users Ribbon Finance, which has partially rebranded to Aevo, has lost $2.7 million after attackers exploited a vulnerability in the smart contract for legacy Ribbon vaults that enabled them to manipulate oracle prices and withdraw a large amount of ETH and USDC. Ribbon has announced it will cover $400,000 of the lost funds with its own assets. However, Ribbon is also offering users a lower-than-expected haircut on their assets by assuming that some of the largest affected accounts will not withdraw their assets, having been dormant for several years. While this plan may benefit active users, it seems like it could get very messy if those dormant users do wish to withdraw their assets and discover they've been used to pay others.

Fact: About 5% of women get a hysterectomy by 45; about 20% by 60; about 40% by 75.

Conclusion: As women age, they become men.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

I am so furious at YouTube for doing this. You have literal gambling ads plastered across your website. The video you take action on contains no real gambling, and is promoting an LGBTQ+ children's charity fundraiser. Absolutely horrendous image and optics for the website. Completely moronic

I was trying to get a refund from priority pass and asked chatGPT what the best way to do it was. It answered and gave me the phone number with a script. I called it thinking it was priority pass. I gave my name and address after describing the situation. Then they told me they would give me a credit that could be used at major retailers. Then they started asking what my routing number was which is when I got suspicious and I started hearing other people in the background being asked for a routing number. They weren't able to answer why so I hung up. I then went and confirmed the telephone number. ChatGPT gave me a number that didn't match up with priority pass at all. I asked where its source was for this and it was not able to tell me.
