If he’s working under Dr Kellogg, it’d be more like “Your husband died because you masturbate too much!”

Well. the plots are NFTs, so it’s just a subset of it really.

Part of the so-called “web3” bullshit, the crypto people’s wet dream of a unified metaverse where every shitty asset is a financial investment and video games are not fun unless they’re grindy AI slop with a promised RoI.

That screen is almost certainly meant to be Smash bros. The ones that run on analog output consoles are 64, Melee and Brawl, and of these only Brawl has a green “GAME!” message.

So this guy might be playing it on a wii, which does look better on a CRT. Competitive (pre-Smash 4) smash players are also all about CRT because they play in a frame-perfect way and conversion to digital induces a small amount of lag, but they’re usually Melee players.

That said he’s also using controllers that look nothing like wii or GC controllers and are very Sony-shaped, so who knows.

He “fell into the trap of hallucinations”. Yeah, maybe we need to stop pretending people who ask LLM to slop their work for them are victims.

“Look, the robot found an irresistible quote, how could I not use it?!” That’s great journalism for you.

They asked copilot to slop an update for them and it tried to kill itself. Tragic, really.

Unless it’s a part of meta horizons I didn’t know about (which is very possible, I interacted about 3 minutes with it), that particular metaverse might have been some crypto/NFT bullshit rather.

This sounds like something à la “decentraland” a.k.a cryptobros trying to sell plots in a terrible empty virtual world because some day it’ll sell for bazillions dollars, trust us.
