Pending the coming changes on November the 15th 2024 which allow AI training on all user content, I've deleted all my artwork and posts from Twitter. You can find my art on my website - and get my RSS feed/Newsletter/Contact info/other socmed there too.

@Pirat_Nation 🥳😄🎉🎆 >my reaction to this news when I've never heard of an ISO disk image

Microsoft is working on a new system called Positron that could let Xbox players turn their physical game discs into digital copies. The idea is simple: you put the disc in your console or drive, the system checks that you own the game, and then it adds a digital version to your Xbox account. Once converted, the game would work with cloud gaming, play on many devices, and fit better with new hardware, while the physical disc would likely stop working afterward to stop people from sharing or selling the same copy. We do not know which games would work, if it costs money, or when it might launch, and Microsoft has not confirmed it, so this is still just a rumor.

Fantastic news in the UK today - the government has apparently ditched its plan to force creatives to 'opt out' if they don't want AI companies training on their life's work. The opt-out proposal was unfair and unworkable. Many couldn't realistically have opted out at all, and it would have affected small rights holders disproportionately negatively. We should be grateful to the government for listening to reason on this, rather than just listening to the big tech lobby. They have done the right thing by putting opt-out behind us. They should now reaffirm what the law says - that AI companies must license people's work if they want to train on it - and commit not to change that law. thetimes.com/uk/technology-…

@JohnMeuser The knowledge has been lodged in your head until this moment when I knocked it free. You're welcome.

@Polyducks I read all of Animorphs and totally didn't remember that until you just mentioned it now.

The screen is designed to bring you back to it. The book can't help but be put down. Have you seen how heavy they are? This is a feature not a bug.

@JohnMeuser 😊Thanks John, you're pretty great yourself with your piano playing for the masses.

@Polyducks You really have made the world so much better for me and I see you doing the same with so many other people. It's easy for me to tell people how great you are, especially when they can go to your website and see your skills for themselves!

The world is better with @Polyducks in it.
