A snippet from a New York Times article shared on tumblr. It says: "Most experts acknowledge that a takeover by artificial intelligence is coming for the video game industry within the next five years, and executives have already started preparing to restructure their companies in anticipation. After all, it was one of the first sectors to deploy A.I. programming in the 1980s, with the four ghosts who chase Pac-Man each responding differently to the player's real-time movements.". The post has the caption: "Is this seriously the level of journalism the NYT now tolerates."
