“But the throughline is clear: video games remain an "exciting test bed for trying out AI," says Evans. That's partly because there are almost no safety issues in a game world.”
Two school shootings in two days in Turkey. Nine people killed in total.
All of the discourse is pretty much same with US — even the conspiracy theories. One big difference so far is that teachers organized way better and went on strike until the end of the week.

I’ve been testing it on my phone and even the large 4B model runs smoothly on it.
"Oh that's an EM dash it's AI."
It's an EN dash and I've been dealing with unicode before you were born in ways you've never even been instructed to conceive.
And you know this is a fact because all of them thinks they’re the exception to this.
A book cover features green fields and blue sky, with text from Ursula K. Le Guin’s "The Dispossessed" emphasizing connection in thought.
"To him a thinking man’s job was not to deny one reality at the expense of the other, but to include and to connect. It was not an easy job."
