project silverfish is genuinely one of the coolest fucking games i've played in a while and i'm kind of glad to be bringing this energy into the new year. one million blessings upon pendrake games

The confusion and conflation of ‘generative ai that is built on stolen artwork’ and ‘machine learning, character behaviour modelling and proc gen’ is intentional on the part of the grifters peddling the former. They benefit from murkiness of classification, because the latter predates their bollocks

wtf do you mean spiral knights is still being updated

Ship’s cat

wow yeah i did nothing this year huh. huhhh

safe inside

Here are some updates from our policy team in D.C. on how yesterday’s House E+C hearing on bad internet bills went yesterday.

Section 230 serves no useful purpose? Except for the fact that it’s vital for free speech on the internet!

So many lawmakers are completely out of touch with how the internet actually works. We prepped a page with resources and FAQ’s on Section 230 and why tampering with it is a bad idea. They would do well to read it. www.whatissection230.org

This isn't final, still in the notice & comment stage. But if it goes through, even as someone whose job depends on people attending events here, I would urge folks not to enter the US. Send a comment TODAY yelling at these assholes not to do this! (PDF in thread has full info incl how to comment)

call your representatives and senators! 5calls.org and sign the petition! badinternetbills.com but do not doom and gloom we can still win we gotta fighting to make sure our online spaces remain safe!

I'm also adding for those who don't know what Section 230 is (like me) this link from PBS: www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

bill C-12 has been pushed out of the House and into the Senate as of today If you are a Canadian citizen/resident, PLEASE contact your representatives and demand they oppose the bills below, including Bill C-12!

alongside calling, EFF also has a site that lets you email your representatives and demand they protect section 230! act.eff.org/action/onlin...

I believe the Section 230 repeal is a very serious attempt for one simple reason: Gaza US politicians are desperate to control the free flow of information online after the role social media played in activism around the genocide The status quo on Israel has been threatened, senators are scared

And thats honestly the goal i have with my posting and organizing I want people loudly countering these anti-privacy narratives, because the louder we are the harder it is for their long game to pay off

Individual bills may fail but these legislators want to present the appearance of a unified push against sec 230/privacy rights Its worth keeping perspective that not every bill is The End, but everytime they start yapping i think we do need to do our own yapping to counter their narrative!

I think the way a lot of federal reps keep blustering about how section 230 and encryption rights needs repealing is dangerous even if an individual bill is basically dead in the water, because they want to manufacture a consensus around the issue

Its really important imo for citizens to push back when some senator starts mouthing off about how section 230 needs repealing, or other blatantly bad ideas But its also good to have perspective re: the actual chances of a particular gambit going through!

I 100% did not expect the govt to point at banks on behalf of the adult industry. We need to leverage the hell out of this Remember Mastercard and Visa blaming "banking partners"? If banks face repercussions their alibis could start crumbling as they get pinched between angry consumers and the feds

while KOSA passed the subcommittee, there is still the full committee meeting it needs to go through before being voted on by the Senate/House support is more split on it than you'd think, we just need to pull away enough votes to block it. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES! www.badinternetbills.com

The end of Section 230 would mean the end of all but the largest websites that allow user-generated content at all - and even the largest would be radically changed and locked down It would probably mean the end of your fav streamers' careers Call your senators and your representatives about this

Repealing Section 230 would chill free speech by allowing platforms, not users, to be held responsible for what its users say. Platforms will become much more censorious over what its users can post. This is extremely bad They're trying to rush it. Call your reps, don't let them

You need to contact your representative and demand that Section 230 be protected, not repealed, NOW. www.congress.gov/members/find...

Turn on the TV. Doesn’t matter what channel.

Out of nearly 100 qrts, there was EXACTLY one that rightfully called out this article as clickbait and provided a contextual screenshot of what they actually meant This isn't Gen AI, nor is it a misinformed executive. It's the same team that weathered the CGI boom saying they're ready for round two
