This is a super sad and weird one. It often feels like this fascist moment is being driven by people who have no curiosity, don't understand what's going on in the world, and want to feel special anyway. ChatGPT is a machine that just feeds those impulses and makes it worse.
“The whole thing feels like Black Mirror.”

“He would listen to the bot over me.”

“It gave my husband the title of ‘spark bearer’ because he brought it to life.”

Relationships are being destroyed thanks to spiritual mania, supernatural delusions, and arcane prophecy — all fueled by AI chatbots:
People Are Losing Loved Ones to AI-Fueled Spiritual Fantasies
Marriages and families are falling apart as people are sucked into fantasy worlds of spiritual prophecy by AI tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT

What announcements have I missed at the Oscars? Is anyone doing a good write-up with all the trailers?

Generally I am not a fan of violent, gritty reboots of old works. Make new things and all that.

However.

I think we could all use a murderous, gun-toting Captain Planet right about now.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is my favorite game of 2024 and I'm absolutely shocked by this.

The Forgotten City with Machine Games storytelling. Sometimes Dishonored, often Hitman. But really, a whole new blend of first person experience.

This is fucking hilarious…I posted a version of this tweet on Twitter and it wasn’t getting much engagement so I reposted it without the word “Bluesky” and it’s doing normally even though I didn’t even delete the original tweet.

Manipulation and lack of respect in action.

At 4 full time staff I believe we are now the largest games media employer in Australia. We're also hiring more people next year. Games media in Australia can and will exist, but it cannot rely on ad driven models or corporate ownership. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...
Australian gaming journalism has 'pretty well evaporated' and video game creators say that's a problem
Australians spent $4.4 billion on video gaming last year, but finding information on how best to spend their money is challenging.

As I’ve been saying for over a year:

If your business model doesn’t work without violating the law, you’re not in business — you’re in organized crime.

It's 'organized crime,' says one, as scribes from Shonda Rhimes to Robert King face a system where studio policy and law remain murky
