“Tech is entering in a kind of dumpster diving era. Where everything is considered trash, your creations, your own pictures, your face, your retina, or even your medical record, and they can be taken without any cost, to bring the most outrageous tampered reality.”

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.

Hi eveyone, it's been almost 2 months since I last posted here (I think?). But I wanted to give you a fun challenge if you wanna join me:

Making a character you like on a 32x32 canvas, that is the only limitation, here is a WIP of a Samus redesign I did on my style for the example!

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.”

The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out

Everything worked surprisingly well, should I be worried?
I'll update a i9 12900K to a i9 14900K, from DDR4 to DDR5, and new motherboard (patched with 0x12b microcode)... wish me luck 🤞

Some people think game dev an indulgent hobby, but I've never worked so hard, risked so much, overcame so many challenges, or faced so many fears in my life. The level of expectation and lack of resources to live up to them is insane. Please support indie devs. We need it.
