I’m a big rally racing fan. Sega Rally still holds the crown, but a few games have stood the test of time. Visco’s Drift Out - culminating in the excellent Neo Drift Out - have a special place in my ♥️. Good to have this @polymega.com collection. Unifying control schemes would have been nice, though.

‘AI is here to stay and change things’: Mad Max director George Miller on why he is taking part in an AI film festival

The director believes AI has made film-making ‘way more egalitarian’ – and is set to lead the judges at Omni AI film festival in Australia There’s no arguing the use of artificial intelligence in film-making is getting a bad rap. Last week’s unveiling of Hollywood’s first AI “actress”, Tilly Norwood, generated howls of protest from actors’ unions across the UK and US, where the industry is still reeling from last year’s 118-day strike over, among other issues, the threat of AI. And earlier this week, Australia’s Productivity Commission was pilloried by Liberals and Greens alike for failing to recognise the dire impact AI may have on the country’s creative industries.

Why is the EGDF immediately jumping to the defence of free-to-play gambling, predatory microtransactions etc. which the EU is planning to regulate?

These casino mechanics have devalued games and subject our kids to the worst aspects of vulture capitalism.

Nazis always dreamt about a world in which “Entartete Kunst” (Degenerate Art) would be replaced with aryan art.

Musk has put the AI in aryan and is now weaponising it against artists.

F*ck Nazis.

Entartete Kunst (Degenerate Art) exhibition guide from 1937. Notice “kunst” in scare quotes.

Fuck Nazis.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
