Discord is about to put your public messages on Google Discord will start making messages from Discoverable public servers searchable on Google and other search engines from mid-December. The feature is ON by default in most regions, but you can opt out: User Settings → Data & Privacy → turn off “Show my message content from Discoverable channels on web pages.” In the EU, UK, Canada, Brazil, Australia and South Korea, it will be OFF by default. Private servers, DMs and group DMs are not included. Usernames and avatars won’t appear alongside indexed messages.

A programming contractor delivered a game milestone that was broken and full of problems, when the client asked for fixes, the contractor said he couldn’t do them because he didn’t understand what he had made. The client then discovered the milestone had been entirely vibe-coded Even worse, the contractor had put confidential game information into the AI tool to create it, which was also a breach of confidentiality. Video game lawyer Haley MacLean said the contractor didn’t get paid and had simply wasted the client’s time. “Just because you can order at a restaurant doesn’t mean you’re a chef.” MacLean says anti-AI clauses are increasingly becoming standard in game development contracts because of risks around confidentiality, copyright and ownership.
