🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work. This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public. Please spread the word. 🧵 1/4

WAIT THEY CAN FUCKING DRIVE NOW

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

Never forget that the senate confirmed this dumbass *unanimously*.

One of the greatest, Bruce Campbell, announcing he has cancer. Our hearts are with you Bruce, Hail to the King.

having written about how banning web scrapers from a code forge i host made it usable again and saved ~60€/y in power bill, let me tell you: you cannot fathom the offloaded cost of GenAI on small web hosts. it is a veritable distributed denial of service to the entire web. Every web admin sees it.

And they keep saying Bluesky doesn’t have the juice…

is everyone on glue

I was warned and I still wasn't ready for how video game looking this fucking NPC is

found time to check out the new Space Marine II update feat. the techmarine class and it's goooood. love a turret-focused defensive class. interesting decision to have the turrets at set points through the levels waiting to be activated rather than placed at will, but it works.

oh come on how could this spiral out of control

???

Kafka understood that an even greater indignity than being turned into a giant insect was still being required to go to work afterward.

not sure why I was expecting Marathon to be bad—lots of factors I guess given Sony/Bungie recent history and live service malaise—but damn if they don't still have The Juice for making FPS games that feel good as an ex-Hunt Showdown sicko, that kind of extraction loop + Bungie gunfeel is great

I am immensely disappointed that the Government has today scrapped permanent refugee status. Refugees will now face reviews every 30 months and be forced to return if their country is deemed 'safe'. We know that countries listed as 'safe' aren't safe for everybody, particularly LGBTQ+ refugees.

please sir just a pittance of interest-matching pay rises for the rest of us

PERSONAL NEWS: After 13 years working as a (legendary) video producer for @eurogamer.bsky.social I have been made redundant in the recent Gamer Network cuts. I loved that job so much (probably too much) and I will miss the people and the opportunities it gave me, but I'm not ready to give up yet!

I kept needing this, so I finally made it.

this is far down the list of relevant facts but the way he talks about things in the passive voice like it's all out of his hands remains fascinating. "it's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead". I dunno did you consider not murdering them then?

It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim “adult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer. In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

Starmer before being handed power, demonstrating his hypocrisy yet again.

It must be nice to be a sociopath, because all the new products are for you. The smart glasses will give you that woman’s address, the betting apps will finally let you make bank on war crimes.

In 2003, we warned against the catastrophic consequences of US-led regime change in Iraq. We were ignored — and hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives. Political leaders should learn the lessons of history, and stand up for international law, sovereignty and peace.

axis of evil

Nothing they (we) love more than bombing hospitals.

According to payment processors, purchasing fictional sexy art is grossly immoral. Betting on school children getting blown up is fine though.

but consider: those countries also love war crimes and racism

Starmer's ability to find the exact sweetspot which pisses off everyone is extraordinary. He's a savant.

who decided to dress her like a discount starship troopers character

The western imperialists forming like Voltron to blow up babies in schools.

One thing is clear. Keir Starmer is singularly incapable of standing up to Donald Trump.

because the US republican party and conservatives are all incel creeps

The WSJ is reporting that AI, specifically Claude, was used in targeting for the attacks by the Epstein Empire. That would mean the use of AI led directly to the massacre of 115 schoolchildren and 20 volleyball players. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

lmao people worrying about an apple watch in a SCIF when these guys are drawing up war plans in claude and placing side bets with online bookies

Approximately 70% of the district court judges: the government is lying and disobeying our orders Sam Altman: I consulted my hallucinating oracle and it said the government is good and also their checks always clear.

People keep saying you can't post your way out of fascism but I might give it a shot anyway

“direct your anger at trump not the democrats” buddy you are severely underestimating the amount of anger i have available to me

in case anyone ever needed confirmation that it's not about building a democratic Iran, it's about collapsing Iran and turning it into a land of rubble that can be bombed every six months
