not a spy. investigative journalist. President, SJAA. Co-founder, CONTINUE? magazine i write about people, science, integrity, dodgy stuff, video games, art newsletter: nobreakthroughs.com
25,000 people attended in 2025, which you can see clearly if you look at this infographic they shared, which shows a 214 something and if you stare long enough you will see into God's soul.
There is a fascinating website for "Sydney Game Fest", that most exciting of games shows, founded by Melissa and James Chen in 2018!! Whoa!!! Two extremely passionate executives with huge backgrounds at Wombat Studios and EA!!!! I called, but the phone never connected.
🧪 At these science AI slop sites, you have Dr Abdoulaye Djire (a real scientist at Texas A&M, LEFT) slopified into whatever the person on the left is meant to represent... That is deeply concerning. [reposted this because I had my directions wrong]
There's so much that sucks about this but I'd be wholly embarrassed to be an AI Champion at the national broadcaster.
The bot is still available to access online. Its been changed -- its tag line edited to suggest it can't do the job of this writer. It no longer has the prompts. Outside use has been disabled. But is it true that it *can't* do the job of a writer at a Clickout site? I'm not sure.
And don't forget the Spanish edition? French? Arabic if you need???
The Clickout Media ecosystem continues to publish videogame content to Videogamer, Escapist, GamesHub and many, many sites in other languages. GamesHub itself, once an Australian site, now has a fully German version! Sehr gut, Arschlöcher!
I looked through a bunch of this writer's work over a few days, and threw it into the (also unreliable) AI detection services. Pangram is considered one of the best at the moment. Almost every article I tried was either flagged as AI or "mixed", with percentages of AI text >50%.
This is a bespoke ChatGPT, so back then, I asked about the rules that underpin it. I don't want you to think I am in some AI psychosis, and I've no idea if this output means anything at all except some made up bot garbage (likely!) but it provided me with a bunch of rules.
When I began investigating Clickout Media and its sites more than a year ago, I was able to get access to a ChatGPT for editorial work. One particular bot was for a writer who worked across different brands, inc. the Escapist. The bot prompts were for a series of different editorial tasks.
This change, the co-founder says, is so they can focus on tools that will help "all games grow" with their new product Audience, an "AI Growth Platform" ... Immutable saw the writing on the wall with NFT/Crypto gaming, bailed, and now is ... using AI for capturing audience data+driving revenue.
Extremely talented bloke named Tristan Viney took this extremely serious photo of me. Because I am a serious person and about to launch a magazine and when we're billionaires the AFR can use this or whatever If you're looking for headshots, Tristan is your guy. www.tristanviney.com

But Sharon ... is also Selene Nightfall, the author of a biography about Raja Jackson, Rampage Jackson's Son, according to this Amazon listing. Of course, this book's description is full of "hmmm sounds AI" and Nightfall's other books are just of recent newsy figures www.amazon.in/RAJA-JACKSON...
One of these approaches I received was from the "Newsletter Crew" which claims to have "230,000+ enthusiastic backers actively looking from projects like [mine]" One of their reviewers on their site, Sharon Roddy, says:
