The Trump administration is really trying for more Charlie Kirk-style Leopards Eating Faces moments with this one.

Anyone who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. -Voltaire
I first heard it when I was a kid but didn't truly understand it until 9/11. The more time goes on, the more our shitty timeline proves it to be true.
Blaming the technology is useless and unhelpful. It's like blaming Photoshop for letting people remove their faces from obvious CSAM.
Kids need to be taught about this stuff! Bitching and trying to regulate the tech is a pointless waste of time. Teaching children how to deal with it is the only realistic thing that can be done.
Sexual harassment is a crime at work. Outside of that, it's just another form of bullying/harassment.
Assholes will catgall girls as they walk past but that's not illegal. It's no different than shouting explitives at minorities. It's a dick move, but it's not illegal. Not in the US, anyway (because of the First Amendment).
I'd also like to point out that she didn't get expelled for "trying to stop" the bullying. She got expelled for violence (against the bullies). That is why I think it's the zero-tolerance policies that are a huge part of the problem.
If a girl slaps a boy that's harassing her, there's very little actual consequences from that. The boy might be sore for a day or two but he might leave her alone after that. Yet our policies forbid this in the most extreme way possible. It's like being put to death for trampling flowers.
Yes. I read that. I also said what I said.
I'm failing to see the issue.
People freak TF out because things like deepfakes exist. We need to be rational about stuff like this. Manipulating photos and videos isn't going away. The only point where we can reasonably do something about it is at the point of distribution.
The article states that the police investigated but found nothing. The kids knew how to hide/erase the evidence.
Are we really surprised, though? Police are about as effective at digital sleuthing as they are at de-escalation.
Good games are orthogonal to AI usage. It's possible to have a great game that was written with AI using AI-generated assets. Just as much as it's possible to have a shitty one.
If AI makes creating games easier, we're likely to see 1000 shitty games for every good one. But at the same time we're also likely to see successful games made by people who had great ideas but never had the capital or skills to bring them to life before.
I can't predict the future of AI but it's easy to imagine a state where everyone has the power to make a game for basically no cost. Good or bad, that's where we're heading.
If making great games doesn't require a shitton of capital, the ones who are most likely to suffer are the rich AAA game studios. Basically, the capitalists. Because when capital isn't necessary to get something done anymore, capital becomes less useful.
Effort builds skill but it does not build quality. You could put in a ton of effort and still fail or just make something terrible. What breeds success is iteration (and luck). Because AI makes iteration faster and easier, it's likely we're going to see a lot of great things created using it.
FYI: Stuff like this is for automated testing, not "playing games for you" 🤣
Also, I won't consider it realistic until it can type out, "lol git gud scrub" after ganking someone who just spawned.
Yet for some reason it still left me kinda hyped 🤷
You want to see someone using say, VS Code to write something using say, Claude Code?
There's probably a thousand videos of that.
More interesting: I watched someone who was super cheap trying to use multiple AIs to code a project because he kept running out of free credits. Every now and again he'd switch accounts and use up those free credits.
That was an amazing dance, let me tell ya! Glorious!
I asked him which one he'd pay for if he had unlimited money and he said Claude Code. He has the $20/month plan but only uses it in special situations because he'll run out of credits too fast. $20 really doesn't get you much with Anthropic 🤷
That inspired me to try out all the code assist AIs and their respective plugins/CLI tools. He's right: Claude Code was the best by a HUGE margin.
Gemini 3.0 is supposed to be nearly as good but I haven't tried it yet so I dunno.
Now that I've said all that: I am severely disappointed in this article because it doesn't say which AI models were used. In fact, the study authors don't even know what AI models were used. So it's 430 pull requests of random origin, made at some point in 2025.
For all we know, half of those could've been made with the Copilot gpt5-mini that everyone gets for free when they install the Copilot extension in VS Code.
