We start this week with Joseph’s story about nearly 100,000 ChatGPT conversations being indexed by Google. There’s some sensitive stuff in there.

In the subscribers-only section, Sam explains how we got to where we are with Steam and <a href="http://itch.io/">Itch.io</a>; that history goes way back.
