I kinda feel like the writing is on the wall now. We're seeing a spike in insider trading as everyone gets out before a crash, countries are instituting rules that make it functionally impossible to be profitable because AI bros were banking on literally zero externalities, etc.

Australia is planning some of the world's toughest AI regulations • Water usage will be limited • AI data centers will be required to become net producers of energy • AI companies can't train on Australian creators' work without their permission • Proposals expected to be introduced in 2027

FYI: Boycotting HP merch/books/etc isn’t “censorship” it is *boycotting* because of what the receipts are used for, in the same way boycotting Starbucks over Gaza is boycotting not censorship.

music in the video (and the entire booth) all made by dogfriend.world also I’ve been on n off recovering from various stuff this yr but I feel a lot better now so I was planning on sporadically hanging out in publics for it, so feel free to stop by! 💜✨

I did a #Vket booth with @fuopy.com and @blurrywal.bsky.social as Kuté Muté! ✨ it’s packed with loads of stuff -and- a mocap performance (at just under 10mb), with a few big n smol secrets sprinkled in. you can find it in the vrchat world Argdella Rediscovered: Memento to learn what it’s all about!

Lmao when a staff member subscribes to a block list made by a troll account and ends up blocking 310,700+ users, all because the majority of the users of bluesky hold the rational opinion that ai is total shit and shouldn't be used for any reason. Ai is ruining the site, and the world. Fuck ai.

A screenshot of clearsky, showing that the bluesky staff member, who goes by Why, has subscribed to only one blocking list, one made by a known troll that searches for users that are against ai and add them to this moderation list.

Subscribes to anti-AI blocklists or otherwise seems poorly disposed for productive conversations.

I'm so sorry I can't stop laughing. OpenAI, the company built on stealing literally the entire internet, is crying because DeepSeek may have trained on the outputs from ChatGPT. They're crying their eyes out. What a bunch of hypocritical little babies. Cry more, freaks. www.ft.com/content/a0df...

OpenAI says it has evidence China’s DeepSeek used its model to train competitor
White House AI tsar David Sacks raises possibility of alleged intellectual property theftOpenAI says it has found evidence that Chinese artificial intelligence start-up DeepSeek used the US company’s proprietary models to train its own open-source competitor, as concerns grow over a potential breach of intellectual property.
The San-Francisco-based ChatGPT maker told the Financial Times it had seen some evidence of ‘distillation’, a technique used by developers to obtain better performance on smaller models by using outputs from larger, more capable models. This allows them to achieve similar results on specific tasks at a much lower cost.
OpenAI declined to comment further on details of its evidence. Its terms of service state users cannot “copy” any of its services or “use output to develop models that compete with OpenAI”.

The freedom to pilfer, steal, and plunder creativity the UK is formally going to give to AI companies is absolutely staggering. If you're in the UK, take this stand right now. This is a fence that you can't put back up if it passes you, and it will kill the UK creative sector.

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

Virtual Market 2024 Winter starts today, woo! Last time @naeruru.com and I worked together, we made "Kuté Muté," a ska-themed booth with mocap (pictured). This winter, we completed another collaboration. Check us out in Isekai Marché when Vket starts (about 12 hours from now)! #vrchat #vket

Earlier this year I made a little game about Latrones, an ancient board game thats a precursor to chess. I studied how to make an NPC with a difficulty that scales! #gamedev

I love using Trenchbroom to prototype maps for Unity projects! Even though we're not using Quake, extruding and slicing brushes just feels right. #gamedev
