Latest essay: Artists are worried about having their work exploited by AI, but the idea that training the model on scraped work in the first place is a copyright violation is bunk, and here's why.
Why training AI can't be IP theft / GioCities

I am once again BEGGING creatives to read Gio's essays on AI and copyright, especially this one. The whole thing. Yes it's long, but I'm begging y'all to let the issue be complicated instead of just posting short, quippy, and wrong takes about AI

Still always in awe of how many apartments Canada builds compared to the US
In the most recent data, the US permitted 35k multifamily housing units and Canada permitted 24k despite being only 12% of the US population! If California built 5x as many apartments, it still would trail Canada!

Not only that it came less than a minute after focusing on a child with her mother. Steam has notably denied NSFW vns in the past because there was a child as part of the cast unrelated to any NSFW material. If you're big enough and not anime the kid can be standing 5 feet away from an orgy I guess
It’s not Larian’s fault but it chaps my ass that because they’re Larian they can have a trailer with a full on orgy in it in the middle of the Game Awards and meanwhile adult content in games everywhere else is getting cracked down on left and right.

One amazing thing about 2025 is that, if you start up an Apple product, it forces you to choose between _three different_ window mangers, but if you start up a clean install of a current version of Linux, it just chooses good defaults for you.

Still need to get rent. Am currently zeroed but have nothing else I need to handle before rent.
0/1700 rent (Jan 1 deadline), 0/400 ex's car (whenever deadline)
Paypal is [email protected]. I'm getting very nervous. The move in costs were brutal, I hope I haven't exhausted my support network.

More people in Europe die of heat than Americans die of gunshot wounds. This isn't to excuse American gun culture.
However, this underscores how much the "AC is just a needless power-sucking luxury" mentality is killing a lot of people.

Tomorrow the 11th, there will be a markup on various "child safety" bills
This is part of the process where they are debated and amended before moving forward
It is a good idea to make some rep calls TODAY and make it clear which bills are currently unacceptable and why

ATTENTION! The House of Energy and Commerce has pushed a package of(now 18) "child safety" bills to a subcommittee markup.
This means the bills will be likely voted on to go to a FULL committee markup, which sends it out to the House.
Call the Committee. Tell them to vote NO

Discord is such a stupid app. Every spare pixel is monster energy drink, everyone tossed out their searchable and archivable wikis and forums for it, and it's obviously not gonna exist in 3 years.

Thank you.
Well bills are due (electric etc), so I am zeroed... Again. Still need to get rent (1700) and ex's car money (400). Also need to get transit to a different ex's place and back (somehow, 100 round trip).
