I don't 'refuse to use' AI, I just don't use AI; in the same way that I don't shoplift, or plagiarise other people's books - it requires no effort of will, it's just not something I would think of doing

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models.
In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

After nearly a year of development, Fallacy Quiz just came out on Steam, my solo / local-multiplayer quiz game about rhetorical and logical fallacies (or how to learn in a fun way how people manipulate you and how to stick it to them) Should be out right now 😀 store.steampowered.com/app/2847380/...

The Helisub can now crash and run out of energy. Appropriate items "charge grenades" and "repair drone kits" have been added to remedy each problem. (repairs and recharge is free at the base) + as a bonus check out this "lake" level I'm working

If you're a creator who:
- Takes long break periods
- Creates very slowly
- Has another full time job or engagement
- Struggles with productivity
- Is inconsistent
I'm sorry to tell you...
