I thought this was a great article. I'm frustrated to read so many commenters that purely respond to the title, but don't seem to have read it. You don't have to agree with the art…

To me, acting in good faith means saying something like "I'm not sure, but Claude says this, which sounds right: [short informative clip from Claude's wall of text]". Don't pretend…

Even in the context of game development, if you don't provide a "skip cutscene" interaction, some players get very upset. The desire to tell a story can be at odds with the player'…

I think that's an exaggeration. Here's an example I found of a British person in China who did this. Seems like he got a week in jail, then deported. https://www.newsweek.com/engli…
