A (Polish) friend of mine (who lives in Paris) opines that the point of the Erasmus scheme is to make another European war unthinkable by ensuring that too many people have wistful memories of sweethearts in too many other places. www.theguardian.com/education/20...
How will Erasmus work for the UK and who can take part?

thinking about how much of the work of making a game above a certain scale is about helping people with not enough time or imagination to successfully imagine the thing you're talking about

My favourite thing I heard of like this is a debugging feature in Alien Isolation where instead of hissing the Alien states aloud what it's thinking about.
"I heard you. I am hunting you. I am hunting you. I am hunting you. I have found you."

In case it's not clear part of the point here is that Grant Morrison could understand an accurate explanation of LLMs perfectly and still be like "a pile of maths what makes probabilistic sentences? obviously my best partner for sex rituals!!"

important on LLMs for academics:
1️⃣ LLMs are usefully seen as lossy content-addressable systems
2️⃣ we can't automatically detect plagiarism
3️⃣ LLMs automate plagiarism & paper mills
4️⃣ we must protect literature from pollution
5️⃣ LLM use is a CoI
6️⃣ prompts do not cause output in authorial sense

![5 Ghostwriter in the Machine
A unique selling point of these systems is conversing and writing in a human-like way. This is imminently understandable, although wrong-headed, when one realises these are systems that
essentially function as lossy2
content-addressable memory: when
input is given, the output generated by the model is text that
stochastically matches the input text. The reason text at the output looks novel is because by design the AI product performs
an automated version of what is known as mosaic or patchwork
plagiarism (Baždarić, 2013) — due to the nature of input masking and next token prediction, the output essentially uses similar words in similar orders to what it has been exposed to. This
makes the automated flagging of plagiarism unlikely, which is
also true when students or colleagues perform this type of copypaste and then thesaurus trick, and true when so-called AI plagiarism detectors falsely claim to detect AI-produced text (Edwards, 2023a). This aspect of LLM-based AI products can be
seen as an automation of plagiarism and especially of the research paper mill (Guest, 2025; Guest, Suarez, et al., 2025; van
Rooij, 2022): the “churn[ing] out [of] fake or poor-quality journal papers” (Sanderson, 2024; Committee on Publication Ethics,](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vsyj5jtayxcq5dw5mtja4xtb/bafkreieufyngjbrn23zkmesrimcwemxkxtaf2x7d3bedjt7bg65htgtkrm@jpeg)

A comment on itch reminded me of this idea for creating #TTRPG dungeons I had a while back. I still think its neat and I don't think I've actually shared it here on bsky.
So bsky.. meet Crossword Dungeons!
Do a crossword, use the answers and designs as inspiration for the rooms, get creative!
