This is one of the best ideas I've heard in ages.
Reddit post on r/technology about young people and AI: "I recently heard about a teacher who instead of trying to circumvent students using AI, which is impossible, she made assignments by going "ask ChatGPT to write a report on this subject, and then research how and why it's wrong". Not only did the students discover that ChatGPT is extremely wrong a lot of the time, it also lead them to realise that they should not use it as a primary source".

2025 is past its halfway point and that means a check-in with the leading candidates for @giantbomb.bsky.social's Community Choice: "Hottest Mess Award!"

The leading candidates are *checks notes* tech tariffs and Microsoft's layoffs.

Ubisoft won the community voting for "Hottest Mess of 2024" on Giant Bomb, but that raises an important question:

What was the biggest and hottest Ubisoft-based mess of 2024?

The votes are in and the Giant Bomb Community's Choice winner for "Hottest Mess 2024" is official!

Would you be surprised to know that Concord was only a runner-up?

A screenshot from a thread on giantbomb.com declaring the "Community's Choice for Hottest Mess 2024" wherein Concord is revealed to be the runner-up and the justification being: To say that this game is the biggest flop in the industry’s history might be hyperbole, but it feels like a watershed moment. People have debated how this could have happened with the backing of Sony, as well as what it signifies about the long-ballyhooed push for more live service games. This failure is accentuated by how quickly it was abandoned; a mere two weeks separated the game’s launch and permanent demise. Naturally, because it was a live service game, it can only ever exist as a curiosity for physical disc collectors, at least until some insanely dedicated freaks (complimentary) run their own server for it. Regardless of why it happened, we do know that the specter of Concord will haunt development studios’ decision-making for years to come. Now, did anyone see that Secret Level episode?

ALLTheDinos did things slightly different for their GOTY 2024 blog. Instead of writing the standard top ten list, they looked at the games they enjoyed playing with their children and during their alone time.
