Submission + - Australian STEM Videogame Challenge canceled due to AI (pcgamer.com)

neoRUR writes: The Australian STEM Videogame Challenge, a "free national videogame development competition for students," has confirmed that the rise of generative AI means this year's event will be the last. Speculation as to the cause of the program's cancellation focused primarily on the presence of AI in entries: Another self-proclaimed judge said the problem wasn't merely the use of AI in itself but that "some students just completely generate their games with AI. The Australian Council for Educational Research has confirmed that the cancellation was in fact due to AI.

In my opinion:
AI may be generating the games, and the students may not be learning to code, but they are learning how to make games. It's a new world, and AI needs to be used in the teaching and learning.

if you reach adulthood and still only think with the small head, you don't get to run a publicly traded corporation or any company with secrets or tech of national importance.

While I don't disagree per se that this should be the model, I do wonder which reality you live in where it currently is.

Many forums died the facebook death, and now people have figured out that doomscrolling facebook isn't givong them anything.

And when you are on youtube it starts to feel like it's now running on fumes with low octane fuel due to all the emotionless massproduced videos. You can still find channels with real substance there that are worth holding on to but they run the risk of getting drowned and some are leeched by scammers stealing their content while youtube does nothing to stem that.

And black is not special. He could do the same elimination of choice with another color.

I will not say black is "special" but you cannot simply replace it with another color. There is no function that a male in the US cannot attend wearing black. The only thing a man can wear that's even simpler in its appropriateness for all events is a military uniform.

Reached for comment, the Richmond Police Department told local newscasters they "understand that Ms. Crump did not ask to become part of this investigation," and that they recognize the "frustration of having a vehicle towed and subsequently damaged." But they also said they were following a "credible" lead, which is their responsibility.

This "credible lead" (i.e. "we decided that, our of all the cars that kinda look like the one we were looking for, yours with the child seats was the one used in the drive-by") sounds a lot like that line from the Usual Suspects:

Cop: "I can put you in Queens on the night of the hijacking."

Hockney: "Really? I live in Queens. Did you put that together yourself, Einstein? What, do you got a team of monkeys working around the clock on this?"
