In the last year, No More Robots has funded + is currently funding a dozen games, and has paid numerous devs to make prototypes happen for free But obviously, getting press is absolutely impossible for us, because only doom and gloom gets clicks

this problem has so many dimensions and feels like it's essentially going to make the internet unsearchable?

ended up on an extremely weird site while trying to look up some basic information a couple of weeks ago and it sent me down a deep rabbit hole www.eurogamer.net/ai-fan-wikis...

eurogamer.net"These tools have made it very easy for bad actors to flood things" - AI video game wikis riddled with errors are taking over, and pushing real fans to the sideLLM-powered wikis, often full of inaccurate or irrelevant information, are starting to take over, leaving fans sidelined and publishers playing whack-a-mole.

Yeah, bad news folks: you know how everything in Britain has been increasingly generous, functional, rational, pleasant and generally awesome for the last twenty years or so? Well I’m afraid the party is over for you greedy pigs: it’s time for you to suck up some real pain. Thanks

- UK shop price inflation highest since 2024 - Energy bills increased 4% in just October - Water bills increased (average) 5.4% - Rent is over 1/3 of people’s income - Council tax increase (average) 4.9% Yet they think £21 will make a difference

Jon Kay to Jonathan Reynolds: "You're planning to remove import taxes from products like chocolate, gherkins, marmalade. Your own figures say that will save the average household 40p a week. At a time when [bills] are going up, do you really think people are going to notice 40p a week?"

People getting mad at Labour forget that the literal point is not to actually do anything, because they strongly believe in an ideology that says the government shouldn't do anything. They know they can't say "we don't want to do anything" so they have to dream up this shite instead.

Labour now briefing young people won't get the same minimum wage uplift. Even Starmer didn't break this pledge. Workers rights mean same rights, pay & conditions, same rate for the same job. What does this Labour government have against young people? inews.co.uk/news/politic...

inews.co.ukMinimum wage rise for 18- to 20-year-olds to £12.71 could be shelvedLabour had promised to bring the payment into line with those aged over 21

The UK economy has been stuck in a slow-moving crisis for 18 years. Wages have stagnated, prices have risen and basic services have been cut – giving rise to a widespread sense that everything is getting worse. If Burnham doesn’t respond, Reform will benefit. substack.com/home/post/p-...

mortgages shoot back up past truss levels of fuckery, energy prices up to near peak ukraine, the economy is depressed and clapped out as fuck, and we just pat trump on the back as he stirs the shit pot and abjectly fail to have any solution other than insisting people buy wine and tinned food

not to mention I’m dependent on rail travel for work and years of inflation busting ticket price hikes have made trains ludicrously expensive as a commuter with little to no material improvement to services or investment in my line

the rich remain untaxed, the fundamental problems unsolved we could do so much more! but no, labour is the party of tweaking capitalism around the edges, of sacrificing all to the bond markets, of trying nothing and claiming to be all out of ideas not to mention the flagrant bigotry

not to mention water rates are astronomical and every time anything bad happens to a water company the government will literally do anything other than nationalisation
