The article feels very unfocused, light on content, doesn’t it?
If I got it right, they’re answering the why with
- it’s social before gameplay
I’m not sure the other points were about the why
- it’s a platform of experiences
- it’s easy to switch between games compared to their cartridge renting youth
- bad graphics and predatory monetization are no hindrance

Don’t tell me after 14! paragraphs. They talk about manipulative monetization, and then do this. At least make it obvious at the top.
Thanks for including the rest of the content here.
- Comment on Reddit is using AI to determine users beliefs, values, stances and more based on their activity (posts and comments) summarizing it to Subreddit Mods. 1 week ago:
I recently watched a video where they tested if the replies were generic/context-generic or fed by their own comments.
They replied to comments on their video with a fake ad. And sure enough, after a while, the AI suggested such replies.

Is this summary helpful?
When the summary is presented there, like that, of course, it seems helpful.
I’m certain the majority of people will respond with “yes”, without checking the user’s post history to verify the summary. The responses will be biased, making the whole thing worse, and giving opportunity to disingenuous marketing and justification.

uuh I guess this is a hypothetical of a possible utopian future rather than about current AI or based on current trends and implementations.
- Comment on Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed 1 month ago:
Why would I add a line break when I don’t want or need a line break? It’s a list item, not a text paragraph.
I define the layout and spacing in CSS for the li element.
I don’t think I’ve ever noticed this as prevalent or common. If at all then as a strange outlier.

I haven’t heard or read any such thing, and the EU passed legislation regarding AI regulation. Which seems like the opposite of those claims.
I really don’t see how it’s a dishonest question.

Are you talking about a specific company or AI in general? Because first it sounded like the latter, but now it sounds like the former.

It does show that it can be a useful tool, though.
Here, the security researcher was evaluating it and stumbled upon a previously undiscovered security bug. Obviously, they didn’t let the AI create the bug report without understanding it. They verified the answer and took action themselves, presumably analyzing, verifying, and reporting in a professional and respectful way.
The cURL AI spam is an issue at the opposite side of that. But doesn’t really tell us anything about capabilities. It tells us more about people. In my eyes, at least.

Should posts like this have [Satire] added to the title?
I’d prefer them to be obvious. Just like we title posts to describe them, and put them into communities, mark them nsfw or not, whether it’s satire or not is an important differentiator.

‘Order from Amazon’: How tech giants are storing mass data for Israel’s war
The Israeli army is using Amazon’s cloud service to store surveillance information on Gaza’s population, while procuring further AI tools from Google and Microsoft for military purposes, an investigation reveals.
Is every single Israeli resident complicit in what their government is doing? None of them should be allowed to use Windows?
This is not about Israeli citizens using Windows. This is about Microsoft’s contracts with the Israeli military and government.

- Comment on Pocket is Saying Goodbye: What You Need to Know | Pocket Help 3 months ago:
Pocket has helped millions save articles and discover stories worth reading. But the way people save and consume content on the web has evolved, so we’re channeling our resources into projects that better match browsing habits today. Discovery also continues to evolve; Pocket helped shape the curated content recommendations you already see in Firefox, and that experience will keep getting better. Meanwhile, new features like Tab Groups and enhanced bookmarks now provide built-in ways to manage reading lists easily.
What’s the discovery replacement they are referring to here?
- Comment on List of Fan (OpenSource) Ports/Remakes of Games 3 months ago:
You title them ports or remakes - do these all require the original game asset files?
When I read remake, I thought they’d be independent games, inspired by or replicating the originals.
