Kid: No

A nice thing about having a proper shape sorter toy (not everything goes in the square hole) is that I can sometimes short circuit an impending tantrum by just playing with the sorter in front of the kiddo and doing it deliberately wrong. She can't resist coming and showing Daddy how to do it right.

"absolutely no genAI in games" is the middle ground.
"how many years in jail should Sam Altman get for knowingly stealing all data ever" is the somewhat more extreme stance I personally adopt.

"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

Just spent an absolutely lovely morning just going around Ikea. Amazing how joyful even a mundane thing can become when you're doing it with a toddler who has never done it before (as far as she can remember).

"what games will you play when everything uses AI?"
So there's this cool thing called playing older games, did you know we have hundreds of thousands of them?
Enough to keep someone busy for multiple lifetimes?
I'm not gonna run out anytime soon
Still hoping the AI bubble bursts though of course

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

When I said Elon couldn’t possibly come across as any more divorced if he tried I never actually thought he’d hear me. Certainly didn’t expect him to treat it as a challenge. But he sure showed me!
Elon has never experienced this and neither have his biggest fans but now they can create these visuals with the help of a computermachine

The democratic party in the US should pay close attention to the fact that the NYC mayoral race ended up being between an establishment career democrat who was endorsed by republicans and the winner of a democratic primary that democrats couldn't bring themselves to endorse.

Far from throwing minorities under the bus he explicitly called them out as people he was on the side of in his campaign and his acceptance speech, including trans people.
In the largest city in America they overwhelmingly voted in an ally.

And note that he never rejected what some sneeringly refer to as "idpol". Never came close to throwing minorities under the bus. On the contrary. The affordability agenda came hand in hand with him actively standing up for those principles. He could never have mobilised his base like this otherwise.
Zohran's campaign was his determination to make New York a city everyone can afford to live in. Huge congratulations!
His success will resonate throughout the world. A story where no one is left behind.
It's time to write that story across England & Wales too.

As my daughter stumbles rapidly through the kitchen demanding milk while dressed as a bumble bee (it is Halloween after all) I think to myself this is it… this the most archetypically ‘toddler’ she has ever been.
