So, I look for local cafes to hide out in before I go to work. I also work at a cafe. There’s a place on Polk St. that charges $6.95 for a latte. We charge $5.25, two blocks away, and It’s better quality. But this place that over charges is currently packed. There’s a few things going on here.

1/3 Massive efforts are being done to ensure states do not regulate GenAI.
Regulations like CA’s AB-412. A transparency bill that terrifies Big Tech!
On Dec. 8th, there is a major hearing on this bill.
We need as many folks to show up! Come join in support of creatives!

I genuinely believe that Keeper is one of the game's industry most excellent and exciting achievements of the decade. A seemingly un-pitchable game that stands strong on its core tenets of emotional connection and teaching the player to let go of preconceived game notions. I thoroughly enjoyed it

I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

Hi. A couple of AI questions I hope the algorithm picks up:
Q: Now that a lot of vocal artists are saying that using AI is considered theft, how do you feel about the plunderphonics music genre, which is sample based?
Q: is the difference “human made” versus “big tech corporation” made?
