To “my students and to anyone who might listen, I say: Don’t surrender to AI your ability to read, write and think when others once risked their lives and died for the freedom to do so.”

My email replies to folks pitching me on "exciting new tools" have been getting shorter these days.
It's an email from me responding to someone asking us to use their AI tool. My email says: "We would close our company before we used AI for anything."

(screaming at my computer) IT'S POOP! SAY POOP! www.404media.co/trump-no-kin...
News Outlets Won't Describe Trump's AI Video For What It Is: The President Pooping on America
Major outlets said the President dumped "brown liquid" that "appeared to be feces" in an AI-generated video. They refused to call a spade a spade, or poop, poop.

Exclusive: Anthropic spent $2.66 billion on Amazon Web Services in the first three quarters of 2025, around 100% of their estimated revenue. Its costs appear to increase with their revenue, showing little path to profitability.

Every ai video sucks because they’re never more than their prompts, you’re like ‘yeah that’s a video of a dinosaur eating chips whilst skateboarding,” but like that’s it - you could just post your prompt and it’d be the same. But every real piece of film contains MORE than just its script

"But when the team looked at the employees’ actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20% slower when using AI than when working without it. Researchers were stunned. “No one expected that outcome. We didn’t even really consider a slowdown as a possibility.”

One cool feature of Steam is they provide a Harassment Zone for each game you announce. It's a place for people who hate progress to come and crap all over games they haven't even played. No, they won't help you moderate it, but hey, at least you can't delete it!

An abridged version of my letter appears in the Provincial paper today, the Chronicle Herald. www.saltwire.com/nova-scotia/...
Opinion: Cabot gets a bogey for another attempt to turn West Mabou Beach park into golf course
It looks like Cabot has been working with the government behind closed doors, since going through the community didn’t work last time, writes Kate Beaton.

We banned a guy on the Steam forums for repeatedly saying there were “too many women” in our game

So he flipped his positive review to negative

Still totally worth it

At this rate it's hard to imagine what the future is for devs of this scale. Something other than employees getting laid off has to change.

happy sunday, remember that you are completely expendable to your employer and that when you die they will forget you ever existed within weeks and easily replace you
