The closest comparison for the Grok thing we can imagine right now is if cereal made a bunch of people ill and the news put a microphone in front of some cereal boxes at the grocery store and was like “well they didn’t admit guilt, not sure who else we can ask”

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.

Again?? This industry is truly out of ideas
There will be more video games released in 2026.

Never would have picked this game up were it not for @kelslewin.bsky.social’s defence of it on the @minnmax.com Two Tens this year. Great effort from everyone in highlighting their favourites again this year.

(Oh and Hundred Line DOES indeed rule)

Grok's new "feature" that allows users to undress women in photos posted to X is a new low for the platform. If you're somehow still active over there, I urge you to let this be your final straw.

Unwrapped a copy of @kelslewin.bsky.social’s book today! The original Animal Crossing has always seemed like a one-of-a-kind experience, even within its own series. Looking forward to learning more!

America, you have spoken loud and clear: You do not like AI. But what if AI is the way to restart the world’s idea machine?
We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.
What if the best use of AI is restarting the world’s idea machine?
