ok I'm sorry last thing but WHY are people asking ChatGPT for recipes when there are literal hundreds of free food blogs written by human beings who have actually made and taste tested the recipes they're publishing? I feel crazy why would you ask for food advice from something that can't eat

Early Access and the way they managed their community across all their updates helped humanize that team in ways that only helped Baldur’s Gate 3, weird for the studio to be so willing to throw all that goodwill away.
I think it's nice when concept art shows the evolution of people's creative processes instead of a prompt, but what do I know

Generative "A.i." is actually evil.
googled something and clicked a link to a website I'd never heard of that looked like a forum, read the discussion and realized the person asking a question and all of the answers were all LLM generated, the entire website was a fake forum pretending to be people asking/answering questions

I obviously hope that isn't the case but history says otherwise.
My recommendation would be for everyone who would likely be affected by this to discuss unionising **NOW** so at tyhe very least you all get favourable outcomes amidst the worst scenario

Netflix confirms it will acquire Warner Bros., including its film and television studios, HBO Max and HBO, for about $82.7 billion, after separation of Discovery Global (which is expected to be completed in Q3 2026).

This letter is a clear attempt to get Trump angry enough to intervene, and is thus a pretty clear signal to the entertainment community of what kind of company Paramount plans to run. I know people dread a Netflix acquisition of Warner Bros.; this would be worse. deadline.com/2025/12/para...
