Hi Senator, excuse me for jumping in, but... while I agree with you that this is really damaging, I couldn't help but notice YOU VOTED FOR THE FREAKING BILL THAT GAVE TRUMP THIS POWER (which some of us warned you not to do).

Children are being exploited. Let’s respond by dramatically hindering our ability to point out or criticize children being exploited, using methods we don’t understand because we’re old and incurious.
Children are being exploited and abused because Big Tech consistently prioritizes profits over people.
Enough is enough. Time to sunset Section 230.

Authors, remember that you CAN insist on human translation for your foreign-language editions and have it written into your contracts. You can no longer just assume you're going to get a human to work on the book whose every word you wrote with intent.

Remember how I said I have it written into my foreign-language contracts that my work has to be translated by an actual human? This shit is why.
Those book translations are gonna suck. They'll save money putting out books that are going to be painful to read. That's not a great long-term strategy.

French publishing house Harlequin decided to use AI translation instead of human translations.
All their freelance translators (some of whom had been working with Harlequin for +30y!!!) were told they would no longer receive work from Harlequin

So look man if we're just gonna be online here watching all these big studios come out and lay down on the tracks about Gen AI going "I have to do this for some reason." then I think it's more important than ever to celebrate games from based devs who are out here openly posting "Nuh uh, fuck that."

the fact it wouldn't have passed the house without 3 dems makes me worry that the senate only needs 7, but hopefully it stops there. everyone needs to take this all seriously and allies please give a shit though, because it won't stop until they are stopped
Breaking: House Republicans pass Marjorie Taylor Greene's bill to criminalize doctors that provide gender-affirming care for trans kids. Her bill imposes jail time penalties up to 10 years. Now, it's headed to the Senate where it is not likely to advance as it would need 7 Democrats to sign on

America has deindustrialized so much they can't even manufacture consent
I still can't believe they're trying to make a war happen out of thin air. Not just their abrogation of Congress's role in formally declaring a war -- that's been a slippery slope for decades -- but their total unwillingness even to go through the motions of drumming up public support.

I've mentioned this a couple times now, but I got an email advertising "AI voice software" and I checked why I was getting an email like that and found out it was a TTS program rebranded as AI because it's a buzzword that gets investors hard
I have absolutely zero sympathy for studios intentionally conflating useful tools with LLMs in order to launder the image of LLMs then being surprised those legitimate automation tools are now a PR liability. If you are calling inverse kinematics AI you can't be surprised when people get mad at that
I was wrestling with this all of yesterday based on a producers comments from July + the Larian stuff. It's all about as clear as mud and I'm exhausted.
What has become clear is that unless I'm inside a studio or someones a big dramatic proponent I won't really know one way or another and it's shit

I assure you, it is quite easy to find conservative-leaning lawyers who aren't absolute freaks with deeply-held views so creepy most people don't even know such views exist. But this is who they nominate instead.
Here's Trump judicial nominee Justin Olson today, admitting than in 2015, he gave a sermon in which he said that “marriage was not intended for all people,” including “our handicapped friends or our persons with physical disabilities that might prevent the robust marriage that we’re called to.”
