Today, the UK government announced a proposal to change copyright law - for the benefit of AI companies - that would cause huge, irreversible harm to creators.

More info below, but most importantly here's what you can do (wherever you live):

I've been having to explain this too many times to too many people over the past year. I think people who are excited about generative LLM's do not actually understand what it does.
This is one of the most well-written explanations of certain kinds of AI errors I’ve seen to date. (The whole article is great too.)

I’ll never stop making games!

Because it’s so hard to ever finish making them!

On one hand, steam is a landlord-like parasite, exploiting its near monopoly status to seek an exorbitant rent from every game sold

On the other hand, all my games live there and gaben looks like if santa retired to bermuda, so who can say if it's good or bad

I think this might be my most favourite full art.

If anyone knows of any neat decks that use Pidgeot, let me know!

This is the best day ever 🎉
It's my birthday tomorrow and my workplace got me this (I am known for demolishing everyone at mario kart).

Making UI is the most infuriating thing ever and yet the most satisfying thing in the world when you get it how you want it.

Pokémon fans who may be disillusioned with the mainline games presently:

What did you like about the games?

What Generation do you think signified the start of the end for you?

What Generation is your favourite?
