In the last few weeks i've been bombarded with emails from people who have minor tech support problems. ChatGPT is telling them to email me, writing their emails, and compiling "evidence packets" after convincing them they have stumbled on a major story: www.404media.co/chatgpt-keep...

404media.coChatGPT Keeps Telling People 404 Media Can Solve Their Tech Support ProblemsBecause big tech doesn't do customer service, we are being inundated with AI-generated emails begging us for help.

R.I.P. Ryu Murakami... I've been a fan for decades, discovering "Audition" and "Almost Transparent Blue" back in college, and finally getting around to finishing "From the Fatherland With Love" this year. Coin Locker Babies is also a masterpiece, but my personal fave is "In the Miso Soup"

Hilarious and easily avoided fumble from Asha Sharma. It’s especially funny that this comes right after all those weirdly sycophantic pieces fawning over her as a genius business leader.

we at xbox are coming to terms with the AI-fueled hardware crunch, which we helped create, failing to meet profit margins, that we made up, declining software sales, because we're self-cannibalizing our games specifically, and also everyone hates us which, believe it or not, also our fault
