now that all the games press is gone, we only have the loudest gamers to rely on when trying to get a vibe of whether a game is good, which is extremely worse than nothing

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

One way of thinking about genAI is:
Suppose you steal every English word on the internet, and then look up what words are most likely to follow the word "throbbing."
And then whenever you see "throbbing" you slap on a likely word
You're gonna end up talking about throbbing dicks in weird contexts
