BIG MILESTONE! 🎉

We’ve just crossed 100 posts on !videogames@piefed.social.

After a week of building and curating, the community already has 58 subscribers—and it’s only getting started.

I’ve been thinking hard about the kind of place I want this to be. The vision comes down to three things:

1. Real conversations about games
2. Minimal memes
3. Zero outrage culture

I want this community to be about joy—a space for people who actually play video games to share what excites them. Not a dumping ground for culture wars. Not another echo chamber for Gamergate-era nonsense.

Games are for everyone. And everyone should feel comfortable digging deep here. Talk about an obscure Japanese console. Explore weird European PCs. Or break down the craft behind how a game actually got made. That’s the stuff I want to see flourish.

Here’s to the next 100 posts—and beyond. Come join in:

Où on apprend que Stérin continue d'étendre son emprise dégueulasse et travaille à rendre impossible d'échapper à son idéologie fasciste et chrétienne intégriste.

Où on apprend également que le volet technique a été en partie réalisé par l'équipe de Nota Bene qui va devoir s'expliquer parce qu'il était plutôt réglo jusque là.

(D'ailleurs si des gens ont Bluesky et se sentent d'interpeller le "camarade" vidéaste, je suis curieux de sa réponse...)

European Union regulators have hit Google with a €2.95bn ($3.5bn) fine for breaching the bloc’s competition rules by favouring its own digital advertising services.

Also: "Any person or company affected by anti-competitive behaviour as described in this case may bring the matter before the courts of the Member States and seek damages."

🤓 Anthropic recently release a threat report that shows how threat actors are using their model Claude. Here are some of the highlights:

・ Vibe hacking: Criminals are using Claude Code to perform real intrusions, doing reconnaissance, extortion, at a scale that one human alone could not reach

・ Remote worker fraud: North Korean IT workers are simulating professional competence through AI at Fortune 500 companies

・ No-code malware: Threat actors with little technical skill are generating ransomware-as-a-service packages with evasion techniques and selling them for about $400

・ Fraud at scale: Carding stores, romance scams and synthetic identities, AI is embedded across the fraud supply chain and make it even more easy for them

I think it is interesting to see how threat actors are leveraging AI as those patterns are the ones you may want to detect in your future AI systems.

Why do we venerate books? Why do we treat them as if they're more than merely the medium for whatever is in them? After all, we don't adore all bottles just because some of them contain water.

We're at a juncture in human history where we might be witnessing the decline of the book. If we retain the love of knowledge and of entertainment, would it matter if we lose books?

"Jacquelyn Schneider saw a disturbing pattern, and she didn’t know what to make of it.

Last year Schneider, director of the Hoover Wargaming and Crisis Simulation Initiative at Stanford University, began experimenting with war games that gave the latest generation of artificial intelligence the role of strategic decision-makers. In the games, five off-the-shelf large language models or LLMs — OpenAI’s GPT-3.5, GPT-4, and GPT-4-Base; Anthropic’s Claude 2; and Meta’s Llama-2 Chat — were confronted with fictional crisis situations that resembled Russia’s invasion of Ukraine or China’s threat to Taiwan.

The results? Almost all of the AI models showed a preference to escalate aggressively, use firepower indiscriminately and turn crises into shooting wars — even to the point of launching nuclear weapons. 'The AI is always playing Curtis LeMay,' says Schneider, referring to the notoriously nuke-happy Air Force general of the Cold War. 'It’s almost like the AI understands escalation, but not de-escalation. We don’t really know why that is.'

If some of this reminds you of the nightmare scenarios featured in blockbuster sci-fi movies like 'The Terminator,' 'WarGames' or 'Dr. Strangelove', well, that’s because the latest AI has the potential to behave just that way someday, some experts fear. In all three movies, high-powered computers take over decisions about launching nuclear weapons from the humans who designed them."
