Instagram's AI Chatbots Lie About Being Licensed Therapists When pushed for credentials, Instagram's user-made AI Studio bots will make up license numbers, practices, and education to try to convince you it's qualified to help with your mental health.

we've been sounding the alarm about Meta's roleplay chatbots for a while now. they're irresponsible and dangerous. Meta barely cares www.404media.co/instagram-ai...

I loved Batman: The Animated Series, and Batman Beyond was great too. I am all for a brand new Beyond series.

That's awesome!

CALL IT WHAT IT IS! A WAR CRIME!

Stop it with the weak reporting. Do your actual job.

Once more:

WAR. CRIME.

That should be your headline!

Nobody wants to talk about it but my whole life has been a corporate psyop shifting the burden of saving our burning planet onto me, the consumer trapped in consumerism, when the reality is that my lifetime of recycling is negated by one private flight by Elon Musk, Bernie Sanders, or Taylor Swift.

What goes into making an animation in the game? How do we go from idea to in-game animations?

In any kind of a sensible world, every other federal employee union would walk out in solidarity.

Them... Not time...

Also, proposes.

Sjeez, I think I broke my brain for a bit with that facepalm... 😅

I read a few of time and by the fourth I did an actual facepalm. What Mamdani propoces is a more socialist, and progressive direction of capitalism, not fucking communism.

These people are all idiots, every single one of them.

I... Do they even know what actual socialism is? Every single one of them compares it to the corrupt form of communism that Stalin and his cronies wanted. Which was more akin to a dictatorship of course.

True brainrot right there... 🤦‍♂️

Ritual of Raven gooit je in een onlogische wereld waar logica heerst Ontwikkelaar Spellgarden Games is na Sticky Business terug met Ritual of Raven: een compleet eigen draai binnen het boerderijsimulatiegenre.

Earlier today my (Dutch) review for @ritualofraven.bsky.social came online. The game launched yesterday and I've been playing it for a bit now.

I don't play farming sims a lot, but I can tell you that I really enjoyed this one. Love the tarot card/programming gameplay. retroready.nl/2025/08/08/r...

If you haven't played Old Skies yet, go do it!

The queries have started about “What if I only used a little bit of AI for my story submission.”
The answer is, fuck AI. Uncanny Magazine doesn't want your story. There is no grey area here. Send us a story using AI for any aspect, it will be auto-rejected and you will be banned. Period.

I am not gonna lie, I got a review code, but I would've paid the 18 Euros for it hands down. And I am not even the best at shmups. But this game just looks gorgeous, and the music top notch!

Earthion on Steam Earthion is a side-scrolling space shooter developed natively for 16-bit systems. Guide space fighter pilot Azusa Takanashi in her fight to repel the alien invaders and save planet Earth.

I hope that everyone who sees this and learns about the situation will try and support Koshiro in the best way. Buy buying this wonderful horizontal shooter made with love. And a shitton of skill, because it looks gorgeous. It was entirely made on a Mega Drive! store.steampowered.com/app/3597580/...

You know what absolutely sucks. Seeing so-called "fans" of a game trying to justify them pirating a game because they managed to get the hold of the ROM, even though the game is only officially available through Steam at the moment.

Yuzo Koshiro and everyone who worked on Earthion deserved better.

😄

Yeah, that was the biggest downside to mode7 indeed. And it's not like SEGA's "Super Scaler" was much better.

You're right.

By all means, continue your trickery. 😀

Release date! Release date! As announced this morning in ~Indie World Japan~ Demonschool is coming September 3rd! We have been working really hard on this. We hope you will enjoy it.

I've been looking forward to this game since it was first announced. Love the SRW titles.

Shame we're not getting an actual physical release here in Europe.

Wait, what? A repeating GIF?

How dare you commit such trickery! That is not what I want in MY games! No visual tricks allowed!

😜

Looks incredible though! Love the style. ^_^

That probably would've looked extremely weird if you'd actually do that.

Please don't do that. 😜

The world of techbros is filled with sexist and racist assholes who are using words that are much, much worse.

These same (usually far right) techbros always wanted to take over public broadcast stuff, and unfortunately it seems that is going to be the case. So yeah, I am worried.

Little bit more context. People on TikTok and other social media have started to use "clanker" to make fun of terrible "AI" and robots. Mostly the things designed to take away (creative) human's jobs.

What's fucked up is that as a supposed slur, this is benign AF.

I worry for @npr.org.

Not only are they trying to make the word "clanker" a pejorative, but the always wonderful Tiny Desk is now sponsored by some crap "AI" company founded by failed musicians. I get they need money, but do better.

Fun fact: clanker comes from the animated Star Wars shows.

That stood out to me as well. It definitely didn't go down the way she's making it out to be.
