Would you mind copy+pasting the text that you fed it that led to that refusal? That's so bizarre. It would be really interesting to try and guess at what exactly in the message set it off. Over-indexed on biology refusals, perhaps?

I'm reminded of the visual novel "Root Double -Before Crime * After Days-" where one guy in town having a manual petrol-powered car instead of using robotaxis is a significant plot point.

The extremely popular upcoming game "Drunken Goddess Reflux" (a.k.a. "Pukey Goddess Shot Trick") is cancelling their public demo plans over fears that AI will just allow someone to release a clone of their game before they are finished with the real thing.
Their Steam page announcement is here:

The release style of games looks to change a lot in the near future. A lot of "shadow drop" sort of things, no Steam Next Fests (Steam's public demo festivals), a lot less experimental indie content and a lot more safe bets from big companies who have the technical expertise to do anti reverse engineering work.
(Unless perhaps a legislative response comes, so that AI-washing a program is definitively declared as creating a commercial derivative work and activating the harsh penalties for that in existing copyright law.)

Most of SC Ghost's plot was absorbed into a special DLC campaign for Starcraft 2. They'd need to do something else.
(The site also seems to indicate the new game's plot takes place about 75 years after the end of SC2.)

The Starcraft site is clearly doing some sort of intentional glitch out ARG, and the rumour going around is that they are doing some sort of singleplayer shooter set in that universe.

The general public is always better at destructive testing than a machine built for that purpose.

It turns out AI was just An Individual.

I'm not so sure. You could literally see configuration options start disappearing from the Mac Mini ordering flow over time as demand increased and supply dried up.

The hospital toilets in Melbourne definitely have that setup. It was weird seeing basically every surface as just a shade of blue and nothing else.
I do wonder - now that most people have a phone with a flashlight - would not the druggies illuminate their own arms with white light and not be too bothered?

I think the most interesting thing I've seen from these leaks are the Portal 2 beta content videos. The temporary time-slow mechanic and the beta voice acting have been really interesting to see. The time slow mechanic in particular could have made the game a lot more accessible to gamers with slow reflexes and refocused the game on the puzzle elements.

Similar to that idea of trying to derive stuff from an indirect channel, but much more distant. (There is an obvious link between food consumption and building occupancy.)
Stuff like watching the order of names on public lists of attendees for dinner events, etc. If someone disappeared or moved off the top few names, perhaps they're in trouble or have been purged from the party ... or maybe they're just sick this week.

It's a theory that labs in Mexico switched back over to P2P 'biker' meth (instead of the old stuff based on cough/flu meds) and that the new meth is causing progressive brain damage to users.
