Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Opinion | Don’t call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp.

![Nathan: So from this very narrow point of view, they imagine that people who read about games just want reviews and guides. There’s probably nothing else happening in the games industry; it’s not like it’s bigger than Hollywood or anything. Because their imagination is so limited and their understanding is so incurious, this is where you end up. They’re like “Oh yeah, I’m sure you can just get rid of all these people who are intrinsic to the site’s identity and slap the same label on some different guides.” Because it’s all interchangeable to them. It’s all the same slop.
Luke: This is every industry, though, right? Enough generations of business leaders have had their brains so commodified by business school “number go up” [rationale] that numbers going up is the only thing that matters. The fact that those numbers are actually representative of the actions and the work of people was lost a long time ago.
And so, they will look at the numbers and think the guides are this, they’re worth this much money, or they’re going to be worth this much money. Valnet look at Polygon’s guides and think they’re worth X amount of money, and they will now have that money. And it’s like, well, no you won’t, because the people who wrote those guides, which made them good, which provided those numbers are gone, you fucking idiots. You’re not getting what you paid for, because you’re only looking at numbers. You’re not looking at people.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreifvbtjntgh24f47gwo6cugbhmkkf6foq7jqzbmqpimwezmazpzadq@jpeg)

The people who approved the sale of Polygon to Valnet, knowing what would happen to both its employees and the quality of its work, are sociopaths who deserve to be labeled, treated, and shunned as such. Sick behavior.

I really need to play this one, I love Zero Escape but I'm also convinced it will break me.
Really glad to hear that Clair Obscur is selling big, but the other two notable JRPGs that dropped on THE SAME DAY seem to be floundering
The Hundred Line is close to 350 user reviews. A collab from the writers of Danganronpa and Zero Escape with tactical battles. Good, from the little I've played.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.
