Its amazing that we found a human being with less spine than a jellyfish. Shame he's in charge of the UK

Happy Christmas to those that celebrate, and hopefully those that don't get to chill and have a nice day as well.

🚨 The UK government just published a breakdown of the responses to its consultation on AI & copyright: - 95% of respondents want AI companies to pay for their training data (made up of 88% saying strengthen copyright law, & 7% saying leave it as is) 🧵 1/2

Today in "Don't Trust AI to Tell You Facts": How several different "AI" programs messed up the simple fact of to whom I dedicated a book, and what that means for how much you should trust "AI" to tell you the truth about things (spoiler: not much at all): whatever.scalzi.com/2025/12/13/a...

About to go live with a Cursebreakers #dnd5e session over on twitch! A town where the very ground seems to be rotting, but I'm sure everything is fine.. Right? www.twitch.tv/faedrun

Moderately pissed off. What kind of idiot mailman signs for and takes a photo of a parcel and marks it delivered just to avoid missing the 1pm delivery window, knowing the person whos waiting for it will see that in the tracking and try to find out what the hell is going on?

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick. Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

Blood and Iron starts now over on twitch.tv/faedrun. Exploring an old, strange ship is dangerous. Who knew? #dnd5e

Live on #twitch now, running ads until half past when we will begin tonights #dnd5e game, Blood and Iron. Subs are 35% off as well! Cheers. twitch.tv/faedrun

I'm a variety and #D&D #twitch streamer (twitch.tv/faedrun). I need cash, as I try to get a mortgage so I can move out of the awful flat I am stuck in. I am a PHD researcher, so income is limited. I stream D&D twice a week, and variety when I can. Any support would be appreciated. Cheers.

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice. KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond. His reply was a doozy.

As a Scot, travelling through Sighthill today, I couldn't help notcing the many saltires strung up on flag poles. And my immediate reaction was "Well thats suspect." We aren't America, we don't need to wave flags to be patriotic. Hell, that kinda thing here just comes across as fakery, posing.

YouTube is secretly using AI to edit people's videos • Skin is being smoothed or sharpened • Features like ears are being altered • YouTube confirmed there's an 'experiment' on Shorts to 'unblur' and 'improve' clarity • There's currently no way to opt out (via BBC)

Nice

Going live with some #DnD for a bit! Steam and Steel continues. www.twitch.tv/faedrun

I had several people recommend applying to rare back when I finished my masters. I think i made the right choice not doing that. Fuck microsoft, and that statement by Phil is horrific. "We're doing great! But you're fired" to paraphrase it. Disgusting.

Great, my Internet is running at barely a tenth of what I pay for. Love that.

Going live with Cursebreakers D&D. After an assassination attempt in the night, a storm now approaches... www.twitch.tv/faedrun

Going live for some D&D in half an hour. In the meantime, the streams up playing ads so we don't get interrupted during the game. Cheers. twitch.tv/faedrun

Might be a rocky start but don't worry, he'll be much better in a few years as Pope Leo XIV: A Realm Reborn

Completed Clair Obscur. Lot of thoughts about this one. The overarching theme of the game hits hard when you recognise what it is as well. I fully expect this to win GOTY from most outlets, this isn't something we get often and it should be celebrated.

Welp, sat down to complete Clair Obscura tonight, only for it to now be 5:30 in the morning and I feel no closer to the end than when I began. But in a good way.

Gor next to nothing special from my ten pull of the new set. Just this guy.

Some guests visited the university today. One in the middles a bit of a grump, but the other two are more than happy to be here it seems.

Have to work, but just want to play more #expedition33. This game is going places.

Sometimes I worry what it says about me that any game that lets me fight, beat the shit out of, and defeat a pope instantly gets rated higher. Assassins Creed 2, and a hell of a lot of JRPGs, for example.

I want Xenoblade 4 now please.

Oh hi

Neat

I no longer like python

Pretty sure most people bitching about #FFXIV these days never even played the game. Hell, people still bitching about that change to Viper way back at launch definitely never played the class beforehand, as the change was so minor it didn't affect gameplay at all.

Unitys new(er) input manager is a bit of a nightmare.

Streaming some #DynastyWarriorsOrigins for abit over on twitch. Key provided by Koei Tecmo Europe. #ad www.twitch.tv/faedrun

Always forget to post that I'm going live. Playing some of the re-re-release of #DonkeyKongCountryReturnsHD for a bit over on www.twitch.tv/faedrun Cheers

Playing some more #dnd5e over on twitch. Time to meet the Matron of the Iron Masks. www.twitch.tv/faedrun

Oh hi

Are you serious twitch? Crypto ads now? Disgusting.

Streaming some #FFXIV for a couple hours if anyone wants the twitch mount. www.twitch.tv/faedrun

Did a ten pack pull. Some highlights #tcgpocket #pokemon

Playing more #d&d over on twitch for a few hours. Slimes. Lots of slimes. www.twitch.tv/faedrun

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

Pretty good pull
