Toys 'R' Us Spits on Its Own Grave with AI-Generated Trash

Kotaku.. I remember that name.

> Private equity-owned G/O took control of the suite of websites in 2019 following former parent Gawker’s bankruptcy.

It is very brave of them to write about zombies and graves.

I like the linked story about the guy who leaked Halo 3 early.

The guy lives a non-descript life, gets a taste of attention, and nothing comes of it. That's probably the median Internet experience.

The giraffe actually does look like Geoffrey. I don't know how they're "spitting on their own graves".

It's just not the same company. Not the same management. Probably not even a single member of the board still from the days before it was bought by private equity. That's literally how it works. They buy it for parts and basically sell off even those parts just to invest in something built from scratch, but with the same logo.

This article is difficult to read with the embedded, yet unrelated, video covering the text.

Pointless bitching and negativity with no real substance or conclusion. Throw in a few choice culture war tidbits and we’ve got a real shitter of an article. You can just tell the author loves feeling tortured and morally superior.

Hey man, I hate AI bullshit too, but did the world need this article?
