I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing โ€˜reviewedโ€™ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.

Sales tax (VAT etc) AND corporation tax AND income tax. Also don't forget refunds. Also don't forget 3rd party costs like contractors, marketing, localisation, software/tools, hardware, internet/webhosting, etc.

After all that, you get to pay yourself.

India Is Using AI to Police Identity and Expel Minorities The Indian state of Maharashtra is developing an AI tool that uses accent, tone, and word choices to identify and deport migrants, writes Suvradip Maitra.

India is building AI to use accent and word choice to identify and deport Bangladeshi Muslims and Rohingyas. It risks hardwiring discrimination into border policing, writes Suvradip Maitra.

Quite literally, until you have 10 reviews Steam doesn't surface you at all.

Those first 10 reviews change everything. If you see a game with less than 10 reviews, you are being shown a life you can dramatically improve.

Alt text: All Will Rise is a card game thatโ€™s also set in the interesting city of Muziris. A vibrant metropolis under pressure from powerful corporate and political interests. In this narrative courtroom deck-builder you play a lawyer fighting for the rights of the earth, as she and her team take a corrupt billionaire to court for the riverโ€™s murder. If you can see the parallels to Crownbreakers, then you know why I am excited about this! 

All Will Rise is being built by Speculative Agency, a new studio with a focus on stories about justice and important social topics. Niels, who is executive producer was one of the first people I met when I started showing my first big indie game at conventions!

I've been jamming on the demo the past couple of days, and I think it's a must-play, must-support for anyone who cares about narrative in games. As you'd expect, the writing is passionate, joyful and thoroughly humane - but there's also real delight here in how well story and gameplay fit together.

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

I have enjoyed our exchange of letters about which of our parties is best placed to stop Reform. Hannah Spencer MP and I trust that you agree that this question has now been resolved once and for all.

Thanks,

Good morning.

If you've just woken up, the politics of hope just crushed the politics of fear and hatred (Labour-Reform).

It wasn't even close.

40.6% for the Greens. Reform second on 28.7%, Labour third on 25.4%.
