It's the same trend every time. CEOs and economists see nothing but $ and rumored productivity gains from generative AI.
The workers on the ground repeatedly try to push back saying the gains aren't there and the work suffers but the upper management doesn't seem to care or listen.

Game studio forces art candidates to produce art during an interview to weed out generative AI "artists." They have hired such past candidates only to find they are unproductive.

There are SO many major OS breaking bugs in Win 11 since depreciating Win 10 alone it would be comical if it wasn't pathetic.

Reminder: you don't have to engage with AI as an instructor. You can talk about AI--even build AI literacy, if you want to call it that--and still not engage directly with a brutal, unethical, ecologically disastrous bundle of technologies. Regardless of institutional pressure, you can refuse.

These faux AI papers are so cooked. All of those responsible should be immediately sacked and banished from academics. They have no place in a serious scientific environment and are actively harmful to patients.

Seen multiple complaints that Matilda, Princess of Cannock, is a bad spellcaster and weak fighter.
Are they playing the same game? She gets great spells (e.g., Kacrack) and abilities (e.g., Thin Air and Wizardly Waft).
Some of her stats are a little low but give her a few seeds and she shines.
