This headline makes him sound like a Batman villain.

See, this is why I'm so far behind on TV shows. I could be watching new stuff, but instead I'm on my second full watch through of a 4-hour video essay.

🚨 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)

No.... no I don't think I will.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Why does Boba Fett fly around in an angle grinder?

Price will obviously be a big factor, but unlike Microsoft, Steam is capable of NOT stepping on the rakes in front of them... sometimes.

OK, but hear me out here... what if it came with Half Life 3?

#steam #steammachine

Yeah, I think I gotta start saving now, because next year looks expensive. I've been wanting to drop Xbox because... well look at them, but I still want a console-ish experience for my PC. That Steam Machine probably has me, but the VR headset looks tops too.

Can the Manhattan Project avoid building the nuclear bomb?

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.

Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.
Block, and move on.

This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

Gigantic 2: Layoffs due to poor performance, management unaffected boogaloo

I have about as good a job as they get these days, and I really do miss freelancing full time.

Every great studio does it. Look at naughty dog, fromsoft etc. things need to be allowed to end. Sadly Microsoft want bankable franchises, not great studios.

when was the last time you heard someone mention NFTs?

gotta remember to savor these little things

I'm not sure what the worse fate would be for BioWare at that point.

Honestly, MS will just buy the IP if anything, to add to their dragon's hoard.

Yu-Gi-Oh got your back

Yeah I know, and I'll play it because it'll feel great, but MS needs to accept that they're not Nintendo, they don't have these big forever franchises.

They need new ideas.

Or they could just buy another publisher, I guess, that always works out well for everyone involved.

I mean, the real answer is that Halo needs to be allowed to die, and 343 should be allowed to make something new.

But if not, at least let them stick to a plan for more than one game.

Where's my single-player DLC at? Where's the new biomes? Gimmi desert, gimmi snow.

Can't wait for the next Halo to be a big time jump with Infinite's story threads wrapped up off-screen. I'm sure it'll work this time.

Replaying Halo Infinite atm.

Open-world was a bit of a dud, samey environments, Ubisoft-esque checklist of icons to visit etc, but man, the moment-to-moment gunplay is the best.

Like literally the best, nothing else comes close. Really wish MS hadn't given up on this one.

Anyone else notice that around the time AI became a big thing, Grammarly turned into a useless piece of junk?

Yeah I tried, but this one defeated me. I was the coughing baby, it was the hydrogen bomb.

The change to Indigenous Peoples day was obviously excellent, but it has cost me several Columbussy jokes today, so spare a thought.

Proud to announce my autobiography is in stores.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but the kettle we bought from Amazon just died... on Prime Day.

This chicken tender is making me feel inadequate.
