@chrisamaphone When discussing winter weather, people in Rochester mainly talk about how bad the winters used to be 20-30 years ago.
@chrisamaphone We're in the mix for coldest winters over here in WNY (Buffalo/Rochester), at least for US metros: https://www.currentresults.com/Weather-Extremes/US/coldest-cities-winter.php
Coldest US Cities in Winter - Current Results

Winter temperatures and number of frigid days and nights for the coldest major cities in the United States during December, January and February.

In case you're no longer in hell (X), Google released their third paper this year related to automated game design and AI-based game design with few to no citations of the 25+ year old field. A very worrying trend.

@mjn @sweneg Awesome, congrats Mark!
@JoeOsborn @mjn I'm not familiar with the discussion, so I dug up Ventura's "Mere Generation: Essential Barometer or Dated Concept?" from 2016. How has your position changed on the matter?
@mjn Really interesting, thanks for the explanation Mark! I have been thinking about if and how I should incorporate more generative AI into the Game AI class that I teach, and have been keeping an eye out for what people are doing with the main CS AI curriculum. Would love to know how the semester goes!
@mjn Interesting to devote half the course to generative AI. This seems to be what students expect, but yours is the first course design I have seen to devote so much space to the topic. Do you think 4-6 weeks on LLMs will be the new normal for an intro AI course?

i'll be at CHI next week! presenting two papers on AI-based creativity support tools

particularly looking forward to chatting with anyone who's working on AI-supported writing / storytelling

@maxkreminski Congrats on the papers, Max. Sounds like interesting work!
@Riedl I didn't make one this year, but my annual ACC homer bracket where NCSU beats Duke and UNC on the way to the national championship would actually be doing pretty good so far.
