Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.

HTML Standard

> As per the specยน this is expected. The HTML parser treats everything as raw text until it matches its own closing tag, and it doesn't apply any logic to it. Therefore it doesn't know that the "</style>" is a string.

Post from Matt Turnbull:

These are really challenging times, and if youโ€™re navigating a layoff or even quietly preparing for one, youโ€™re not alone and you donโ€™t have to go it alone.

I know these types of tools engender strong feelings in people, but I'd be remiss in not trying to offer the best advice I can under the circumstances. Iโ€™ve been experimenting with ways to use LLM AI tools (like ChatGPT or Copilot) to help reduce the emotional and cognitive load that comes with job loss.

Here are some prompt ideas and use cases that might help if you're feeling overwhelmed:

Career Planning Prompts:
โ€œAct as a career coach. Iโ€™ve been laid off from a [role] in the game industry. Help me build a 30-day plan to regroup, research new roles, and start applying without burning out.โ€
โ€œWhat kinds of game industry jobs could I pivot to with experience in [Production/Narrative/LiveOps/etc.]?โ€

Resume & LinkedIn Help
โ€œHereโ€™s my current resume. Give me three tailored versions: one for AAA, one for platform/publishing roles, and one for startup/small studio leadership.โ€
โ€œRewrite this resume bullet to highlight impact and metrics.โ€
โ€œDraft a new LinkedIn โ€˜About Meโ€™ section that focuses on my leadership style, shipped titles, and vision for game development.โ€

Networking & Outreach
โ€œDraft a friendly message I can send to old coworkers letting them know Iโ€™m exploring new opportunities.โ€
โ€œWrite a warm intro message for reaching out to someone at [studio name] about a job posting.โ€

Emotional Clarity & Confidence
โ€œIโ€™m struggling with imposter syndrome after being laid off. Can you help me reframe this experience in a way that reminds me what Iโ€™m good at?โ€

No AI tool is a replacement for your voice or your lived experience. But at a time when mental energy is scarce, these tools can help get you unstuck faster, calmer, and with more clarity.

If this helps, feel free to share with others in your network. 

Stay kind, stay smart, stay connected.

Matt Turnbull, Executive Producer at Xbox Game Studios Publishing - after the Microsoft layoffs - suggesting on Linkedin that may maybe people who have been let go should turn to AI for help. He seriously thought posting this would be a good idea.

Drawing of a fridge, comparing its various noise-producing parts to common other sounds. At the top it shows various noises emanating from a fridge and entering a human ear, with a check mark and "OK". Below that, it has six specific sounds:

SSSRRR! - made by the fan, sounds like a fly flapping its wings.

CLICK! - made by the thermostat, sounds like a light switch.

HISSS! - made by an expansion valve, sounds like the steam coming out of an iron.

BRRR! - made by the compressor, sounds like the noise a cat makes while stretching.

BLUBB! - made by coolant passing through pipes, sounds like pouring a glass of wine.

CRACK! - made by various parts of the fridge thermally expanding, sounds like breaking a cracker.

If you've ever woken up and wondered "what noises are normal for my fridge to make, and how do they compare to other noises I might be familiar with in my day-to-day life?", Electrolux has got you covered.

Tag yourself, I'm "BRRR! - noise a cat makes while stretching".

A screenshot of Firefox Nightly, with the Codepen https://codepen.io/keithamus/pen/wBaZVaX open. The page showing 6 heading levels, showing the CSS, HTML and the rendered page. Each heading is styled differently using the provided CSS selectors, `:heading` (which styles all headers), `:heading(-2n+3)` (styles h1 and h3 elements), `:heading(5, 6)` (styles the h5 and h6 elements). Another Firefox Nightly window is open, showing the `layout.css.heading-selector.enabled` flag is set to `true`, making the rendered page styled using the new selectors.

Hot off the presses! Firefox Nightly (www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefo...) adds the new :heading pseudo! Easily style all headings, or use nth-child-like AnB syntax to select a range of headings! Needs `layout.css.heading-selector.enabled` flag enabled. Try it out and let me know your thoughts.

Theyโ€™ve been taught, and many believe, that writing is just having the idea. And are in for a rude awakening when they try to break into the industry.

Iโ€™ve read a lot of game screenplays as a hiring manager. I never judged the IDEA; it was all about the writing quality and characters
