Given how bad the state of talking about video games has gotten on the internet, if you'd like somewhere to chat about games that feels like an old-school forum without the maniacs, come along to the VGC Discord.

Constant game chat, no bastards.

From now on I'm making a point to use the correct language to describe technology that is currently described as "AI."

An LLM isn't AI
Image generators aren't AI
Machine learning isn't AI
Algorithms aren't AI

AI is a marketing term that obscures meaningful critique of real technologies.

One of the architects of Ubisoft's Snowdrop engine says the Switch 2 version of Star Wars Outlaws is a Game-Key Card because of storage speed, not cost.

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees.

No refugee underfunded a school.

No refugee closed a hospital.

No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled.

We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

Every Reason Why I Hate AI and You Should Too
maybe it's anti-innovation, maybe it's just avoiding hype. But one thing is clear, I'm completely done with hearing about AI.

If you like VGC, support it. If you'd be sad if VGC were to go away, support it. Sadly, it's now as simple as that.

Google is determined to kill us, and all other websites. It's already succeeded with plenty of your favourites, and more are on the way.

Vile.

Google has a new button. It might destroy the web as you know it. Experts say the new “AI Mode” is an asteroid aimed at the heart of the internet, one that could decimate millions of websites. It seems this chapter of online history is over. Here’s what comes next: www.bbc.com/future/artic...
Is Google about to destroy the web?
Google says adding more AI to its search engine will rejuvenate the internet. Others predict an apocalypse for websites. One thing is clear: this era of online history is closing.
