🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.

Recruit powerful creatures to your team, plan ahead in battles, venture into the Valley to uncover a dark truth, and if you fail... do it all over again!
Wonderful Neoran Valley is now live on Kickstarter!

Ozzy Osbourne dies just weeks after farewell show The heavy metal star reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates on stage at Villa Park earlier in July.

I truly thought this man was going to live forever, somehow. RIP, Ozzy, you were metal incarnate for me. news.sky.com/story/ozzy-o...

What’s really funny to me is that we already had all of those without AI. Npc that adapt to the player (MGSV), procedural content and unique experiences (No man’s Sky), personalised narrative (I think I don’t even need to make examples for this one…). And this is just to name a few.

Every couple of years? PSN sucked since the very beginning… but definitely it gets less justifiable with every price increase

Probably best time of the year to go is around April-May or late September-October :) you’d avoid the hottest period, it can get even 40Β° Celsius and it usually gets sooo crowded in July-August!

I’m from the main city, Cagliari :) which is worth visiting, but there are so many cool places to see! I’d visit at least Carloforte and Alghero, and maybe trying to fit Barumini (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barumini) as well and at least one giant’s grave (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giants%...)!

A two part coming. On the top panel, a gray caricature of a person is labelled "Open AI" and is smiling while reaching for a yellow balloon labelled "Intellectual property theft". In the bottom panel, the same scene is presented but zoomed out slightly; this time, the person is looking backwards nervously at a pink monster also labelled "intellectual property theft"

I really agree in general, but I think that something like this being a fee is just allowing the rich and forbidding anyone else :/ I know it’s really hard to have another system and at least this has benefits, but I’d love to see one where you need to justify why you need to go there in a car

I’m convinced that this would happen anyway πŸ˜… I think it started, at least where I lived in Italy, way before they removed the audio jack from phones
