NEW THING - BYRON FERRARI GENERATOR
www.monkeon.co.uk/byron-ferrar...
Nicknames for Bryan Ferry based on something @charlesshaarmurray.bsky.social used to do in the NME. Also functions as a random Bryan video button, should that appeal to the young folk of Bluesky.

A beautiful news story from New Zealand where a store has been using an AI-powered shop platform and users realised that it allowed anybody to edit it and started adding products: www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3610...
Ridiculous deals as store leaves website open for the public to edit

25 years ago today B3ta launched
Well, 25 years ago today, we launched the version of the website you are familiar with, we were going for at least three months beforehand, if you check newsletter dates on issue 1.
However most b3tans look at the board post date - so happy birthday us. Sort of.

Now they're using indie game devs’ progress update videos etc to clone their games with AI before launch then proudly show off what they’ve done
People can be fucking awful
People can be fucking awful
The internet's awash with videos of impressive-looking ‘games' generated with GPT-6 Astra & people eagerly going on about no longer needing 3D artists or game devs, absolutely brutal
(It doesn’t matter if the games are barely-playable tech demos, it all feeds into clients’/managers’ expectations)

40 years ago, ZZAP! published this Mercenary map. It mightn't look like much, but this was the first "proper" map of an actual 3D game world - a 15 x 15 grid that contained buildings, structures, and underground complexes. In 1986, this was astonishing, cutting-edge stuff!
