Remember MLB Slugfest 2003? If you do remember this over-the-top PS2-era baseball game, it’s likely because of its often funny color commentators, Tim and Jimmy, who offered up bizarre or crude jokes and stories between hits. And it turns out that some of the duo’s lines went a bit too far for the MLB 20 years ago. Published by Midway Sports in 2002 for PS2, Xbox, and GameCube, MLB Slugfest 2003 was an arcade-y baseball game heavily inspired by Midway’s popular NFL Blitz series. Like Blitz, Slugfest 2003 added a lot of chaos, violence, and humor into the classic sport…

Florida-based pet food and product online retailer Chewy has been around for less than 15 years but has quickly become a popular source for everything pet-related. Chewy even has supplies for farm animals, reptiles, fish, and more, carrying over 3,500 brands, including everything from food to medicine to toys.

WHY ARE WE ALL YELLING?! Credit: Anthropic Unfortunately for AI self-awareness boosters, this demonstrated ability was extremely inconsistent and brittle across repeated tests.

The size of the “introspection” effect was also highly sensitive to which internal model layer the insertion was performed on—if the…

One dramatic rallying cry within the community is calling for players to boycott the newest microtransaction opportunity over accusations of “greed.” There are three main issues. The first is that Sidekicks—a banana dog named Peels went live in the battle pass on November 1—can only be customized once. After selecting things like size, color, and so on, you can’t go…
