"That would be a really big problem" - a specialist lawyer weighs in on New York suing Valve over Counter Strike 2 and Dota 2 loot boxes

A week ago, New York's attorney general Letitia James announced the state of New York intended to sue Valve over its implementation of loot boxes in Counter Strike 2 and Dota 2. It's her belief both children and adults are exposed to "illegal gambling" - comparing the loot box features to slot machines, and Valve to a casino. Read more

The people who seem impossible to read aren’t guarded because they don’t trust you. They’re guarded because the last time they were fully transparent, someone used the information as a map to the exact place that would hurt the most.

People who seem emotionally unreadable aren't withholding because they don't trust you. They learned that full transparency gave someone a precise map to the place that would hurt the most, and their nervous system never forgot the lesson. Read more

ИИстерия — а есть ли она?

Чуть более двух лет назад я опубликовал здесь статью про восприятие IT-специалистами феномена нейросетей. Тогда моё «исследование» (не стоит убирать кавычки, это именно «исследование») базировалось на опыте психологического консультирования 30 представителей сферы, с которыми поднималась эта тема. Если мы вернемся немного назад во времени, то картина будет следующей.Конец 2022 года. Open AI презентовала продукт ChatGPT на основе своей модели GPT-3.5.

[Перевод] Долг понимания — скрытая цена кода, сгенерированного искусственным интеллектом

“Долг понимания” (comprehension debt) — это скрытая цена, которую человеческий интеллект и память платят в результате чрезмерной зависимости от ИИ и автоматизации. Для инженеров это особенно актуально в сфере разработки агентных систем.Когда команды активно используют инструменты для генерации кода с помощью ИИ, возникают определенные издержки, которые не отражаются в показателях производительности. Особенно это касается случаев, когда проверка всего кода, генерируемого ИИ, становится утомительной. Эти изде Read more

5 decisions people in their 30s quietly make that look like giving up to everyone watching but are actually the first honest choices they’ve made since their twenties

Many decisions people make in their thirties — leaving good careers, letting friendships fade, stepping back from social media — look like defeat to outside observers. Psychology suggests they're often the first choices made from genuine self-knowledge rather than inherited scripts. Read more

Children who were called ‘the responsible one’ often became adults who can’t rest without guilt — not because they love productivity but because somewhere a five-year-old version of them still believes that if they stop holding everything together it will all fall apart

I grew up watching my father count change at the gas station and calculate exact grocery totals before reaching the register, and I make six figures now but I still do the math in my head at the checkout because that arithmetic was never about money. It was the sound of a man making sure his family never felt the moment he couldn’t provide.

The habit of doing mental arithmetic at the checkout doesn't fade when income rises — because it was never about money. It was a father's devotion running through the only channel he trusted: precision, control, and making sure his family never felt the moment the numbers almost didn't work. Read more

Dragon's Dogma 2 celebrates second anniversary with "special celebratory artwork" and a custom controller, as fans ponder: are we getting DLC?

Dragon's Dogma 2 was a very special RPG even if some its bones could've used more work and the New Game Plus loop span its wheels without extra end-game content to give it juice. Still, like the original, it gained a dedicated following, so it's not surprising to read two years later folks asking for a Dark Arisen-like DLC. Now, Capcom has celebrated its second anniversary, but we're left with... Read more

Peter Molyneux's Masters of Albion looks to have everything I love about those Bullfrog and Lionhead classics, but the scepticism is hard to shake

Few developers can - even after all this time - get you quite so swept up in their enthusiasm as Peter Molyneux. It's an enthusiasm that has, famously, got him into trouble in the past, when passion and promise have failed to meet reality by quite some margin - with players often caught in fallout. So it's hard not to be sceptical when it comes to 22 Cans and Molyneux's... Read more

After a massive but divisive launch last week, Crimson Desert is the talk of the town. From its use of gen-AI that supposedly was "unintentionally included in the final release" to talk from anonymous sources that point to an unfocused creative vision, much of the buzz around the game is wary. That said, the title is a financial success with over 2 million copies sold already and a notable amount... Read more
