- Comment on Wikimedia Foundation's plans to introduce AI-generated summaries to Wikipedia 4 weeks ago:
These LLM-page-summaries need to be contained and linked, completely separately, in something like llm.wikipedia.org or ai.wikipedia.org.

Keep the generated-summaries visibly distinct from user created content.

Gameplay is top, is it challenging, varied and beatable?
Can you 1CC it, and get 40-50 minutes from that 1 credit?
Did it seem like the designers and programmers were interested and invested in producing a decent game?
Were their any hitbox fails or physics errors that cause massive annoyance? Skip.
Then graphics and sound quality can influence the choice.
