I know GBA audio quality can be questionable, but I feel like Fusion's soundtrack adds a lot to the game's atmosphere. Worth playing with the sound on. Great game.

The only way AI training is even remotely like how humans learn is if you have a very limited understanding of both how humans learn and how AI model training works.
Also, AI image generation is largely built off datasets of images that are classified and made useful for training by what is effectively slave labor, or at least considerably underpaid third world people.
Please stop anthropomorphizing code. We have generations of study into how the brain forms connections, various aspects of how memories are formed and what keeps some salient and others not, how different people process information and learn differently, how people build skills over time and applied effort... the list goes on. And all of AI is built off absurdly complex math in application, but not as much so in concept.
What I'm getting at is that actual scholarly information sources are out there about how humans learn and develop skills, and there are likewise scholarly sources on how AI and the underlying algorithms work (albeit harder to find unbiased papers with the current hype bubble around AI at the moment).
It doesn't take much effort to expose yourself to enough to understand that comparing AI training to human learning is an incredibly lossy analogy that doesn't hold up under barely any scrutiny.

You could check the flashpoint archive. It's a huge community project to archive every flash game that ever was, and to keep them playable.
I've found some real old flash games that stuck around in my head like that using it.
I was just listening recently to a podcast that brought up a BGP highjack.
Some people involved with the Pirate Bay got into the BGP router for North Korea and made it look like they were hosted there for a while. Maybe you're thinking of that?
Relevant clip from the episode as a youtube short. Full episode on Youtube. Episode page on the Darknet Diaries site, with download link, cited sources, and full transcript.
I had a decent stretch where I was just making comments and expected them to get bad replies, or I didn't really have the space to care about any replies I got, so I stopped checking obsessively and they built up. I'm in my 30s with a wife, a toddler, and a job that alternates between "oh god you need to lock the fuck in for 8 hours straight" and "you're being paid to be here if something happens". I also have had some big life shit happen in the time since I started using lemmy that would pull me away from checking/responding.
Then I had some replies mentioning things I wanted to look into later, so those I made sure to keep as unread.
More recently, I find that I use my own profile's comment page and the upvotes and downvotes on any of my comments in there to get an idea of what I'm about to walk into. Also helps remind me what the fuck I posted in the first place. So any replies I interact with that way don't get marked as read either.
Kind of like email, once it passes something like 20 or 30 unread the count just kind of becomes visual noise.
Oops, all sharps!
And it's in line with how the site started off in the first year or so of it existing. The surviving founder has openly admitted to using tons of sock puppet accounts to make the appearance of activity until they attracted enough real users to keep the content flowing.
Ass. The word is ass. For fuck's sake people.
You're a shopkeep and someone comes in. They want a discount on something. They grab their pendant, a staff, or some shit from their bag, then do a short chant and hand movements.
Even if you don't know specifically the magic they're doing, you know something fishy is up. In my opinion, that's gonna limit the effectiveness by tanking the shopkeep's opinion of you as you cast. Maybe have a friend distract them while you cast so they don't notice, or do some prestidigitation tricks first to get them comfy with you magic-ing in their shop.
Too many people treat charm and similar spells like videogames. Pause time, chug 5 potions and eat 12 cheese wheels. Magic casting gets no response unless the end result does damage. If your DM allows that, fine. But IMO the whole "hold up I need to try and manipulate this guy's mind out in public, or in front of their guards, they won't mind if I try that" tends to take me right out of it.
And that's without thinking about stuff like wealthy shop owners selling mundane items being able to get an anti magic field, bodyguards, or other options against this sort of thing.
