Welcome to You Heard it Here Last where we talk about news, you’ve already heard.
I know this is supposed to be about gaming news, but I thought this article over at MIT Technology Review was really interesting.
The Biggest AI Flops of 2024 breaks down a number of issues and problems with AI and how it threatens the future of the technology.
The article starts with AI Slop…you know, all the crap AI that fills up the social media space and just annoys the hell out of you. The article only gets worse from there. From warping our perceptions of real-world events to giving us “tips” to add glue to pizza as a topping…yea, it’s bad.
I highly recommend reading the article. As a neophyte to AI it helped me come to terms with the good and bad of the technology. A technology I might add, that will have a great effect on roleplaying.
What did you guys think about it?

I love starter sets. I think they are a great way to get into a game. They usually come with everything you need to play the game and gives you an easy way into the hobby. I also love printed media. I use and enjoy .pdf’s for games, but for me they never take the place of something I can hold in my hand.
While looking through a list of start set deals, I came across this one for Shadowrun The Sixth World Edition.
They are currently offering the box set for 21.95. That’s a great deal for a classic game.
And that’s why I wanted to bring it up. Shadowrun is one of the classic TTRPGs and spawned a long series of video games. Heavily influenced on the cyberpunk writings of William Gibson, Shadowrun added fantasy races to future tech making it something different, something interesting.
And I have never played it.
I know shame on me.
I want to change that this year. I want to play Shadowrun.
Have you guys ever played Shadowrun and if so, do you like it?
