in case you missed it
a new position on the scratch foundation’s website went up recently, and the job description confirms that scratch 4.0 is in development. says it’ll feature a “re-imagined online community and creative ai”… whatever that means
no word of a release date, but that’s understandable. i’m actually kind of excited for this, i feel like scratch’s online community hasn’t been working super well recently so hopefully this’ll fix some of those issues. as for the ai thing… please no. so many things can go wrong with that…

Addendum: According to this Scratch blog article, AI image generation isn’t going to be added to Scratch any time soon. So whatever the AI thing actually is, it’s not going to be that.

Still though, we really don’t need AI added to Scratch for all of the reasons that have been pointed out in the comments.
