Does anyone know if this article is real? Got a google scholar notification because one of the supposed authors added it to their profile.
But... scrolling through it I don't get the impression that this is something that would've been written by these authors :D AI-generated?

I'm excited to share that @SimonMarkLucas will be one of our keynote speakers for the Computers and Games 2026 conference taking place in June in Maastricht.
Keep an eye out on the conference webpage (icga.org?page_id=4105) for when registration opens up at a later date!
AI has helped scientists from Heerlen, Maastricht and Leiden confirm a mysterious Roman stone is a real board game—and even reconstruct its rules nearly 2,000 years later. The discovery pushes strategy games further back in time. Curious to play it yourself? 🎲 Read more: edu.nl/u6cgy

Cover of the February 2026 issue of Antiquity, featuring a person in a high-vis jacket excavating a wooden trackway in peatland.
The first issue of the year is out now! Featuring great #archaeology such as:
🎲 Calculating the rules of an unknown Roman board game
🕳️ The purpose of Peru's iconic 'Band of Holes'
🍷 Glass trade from the Roman-Islamic period in Jordan
& more!

Really proud of this work, where we combined traditional archaeological methods and AI simulation to say that yes, this object was more likely than not a game board.
How did we do it? I’ll explain 👇👇

My work with @eric-piette.bsky.social @dennissoemers.bsky.social et al. using AI-simulated play to identify rules that produce piece movement that matches use-wear patterns on an object from Roman Coriovallum is getting picked up in the popular press 😁
The lines worn into an engraved limestone object from the Netherlands are consistent with the idea that it was a Roman game board, according to an AI analysis

It is my pleasure to share that @togelius.bsky.social will be one of our keynote speakers at this year's Computers and Games (CG 2026) conference!
There is still some time until the paper submission deadline (February 20). Get your papers in and come see him in Maastricht, on June 20!
#ICML2026 authors, if you can flatten the curve on @arxiv.bsky.social submissions, the cs.LG moderators would really appreciate it. Today we have 4 times the usually number of submissions. Please select a random number between 1 and 14 and wait that number of days to submit! :-) #mlsky

What is wild to me is the defense, BY THE NEURIPS BOARD, that fabricated citations do not mean "the content of the papers themselves [is] necessarily invalidated"
It does. It very much does. What do you think citing other work is for? What do you think writing a paper is for? What do you *think*?
For detailed info, see the conference webpage: icga.org?page_id=4105
Note that we are a bit more than 4 weeks away from the submission deadline for this year's Computers and Games conference (CG 2026).
This year will be the first time since 2018 that this conference will be organised on-site again, specifically: in Maastricht, on June 19 and 20!
