Please, please, please be more successful than all the trans rights consultations. I have never wanted to be wrong about my expected outcome more.
🚨 The UK government just published a breakdown of the responses to its consultation on AI & copyright:
- 95% of respondents want AI companies to pay for their training data (made up of 88% saying strengthen copyright law, & 7% saying leave it as is)

Something I feel I made a mistake in, when making Bright Blades, was to centre the story on a monarchy. I've done a lot of growing since then and tl;dr I don't believe they're good anymore. If I were making that game today, it'd probably have taken a very different turn. That's hindsight for you.

The lack of U.S. gun laws has created a violence epidemic unlike anywhere else on Earth. This is domestic errorism

It is morally correct to find alternate means to watch BBC programming and when they come knocking at your home accusing you of not paying a TV license you legally have the right to deny entry. Peace and love x
The BBC are transphobic right down to their core and it's absolutely disgusting

solidarity with bigots is impossible and the fact the (white, straight, cis portion of) the left refuses to learn this is why the left keeps failing over and over again
“Those of us on the left should be fighting to improve protections for workers of all races, and thereby for the betterment of people’s material conditions regardless of their views,” Arash Azizi argues:
Why the Cinnabon Story Doesn’t Make Me Happy
The left should be promoting working-class solidarity, not delighting in seeing workers summarily dismissed.

Game Awards last year took place during a videogame strike against AI
The strike wasn’t mentioned or acknowledged despite many VO performers working on the games that are heralded every year and even appearing on stage
This year a game that features AI voiceover gets a podium to accept an award.

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.
