Your AI-NPC might be illegal. The EU AI Act went live August 2. Foundation models, emotion recognition, manipulative monetization all enforceable now. How screwed is your studio?

Brave and Inver cosplay as monarchs in K2C, but the most dire task lies before them - shall they name the Broderinos?

I had to do the trend (albeit late, as usual). OP, this perspective is my least favorite, so props for even trying it!

Good intentions don't prevent bad structures! Revenue sharing and informal "we'll sort it later" deals collapse the second money or conflict shows up. New piece on why handshake agreements challenge indie studios. Written with you in mind ~ <3

Adding a few new faces to the Goblin krew ~ My lovely booyahg, Endellion, of course. Brave turned out way too hot and I had to do some surgery on Jish to make him less cutesy more thievery. Should I have kept the beard? It's not to late to keep him as the cute one.

I like creating little Goblinas for the cons we regularly go to ~ Can you guess this one?

Leroy from Let’s Roll Press joins Inver and Art to discuss Chapelwick, a cosmic horror campaign setting for 5e.

The paradoxical honeypot age verification systems create in the pursuit of child safety... when you require every website to check IDs, it's only a matter of time until you have a security incident on your hands.

I broke down how the Act applies to modders and devs, which systems are most exposed, and what compliance should look like.
BEWARE ~ The rules are coming for your sandbox.
Peruse the musings here: inverlyst.substack.com/p/your-ai-np...
#AI #GameDev #EUAIAct #Compliance #NPCDesign #Mods
The Act categorizes AI into risk tiers. Games using AI for moderation, monetization, or player modeling may fall under “high risk.” Even voice or dialogue systems must meet consent and transparency requirements.
Enforcement starts August 2, 2026 - in case you were still finalizing that AI Policy!
An ornate symbol of regulatory pride; because nothing says ethical oversight like gold spikes and moral certainty.
Just in time for the spookiest season, did you know your AI-NPC might be illegal under the EU AI Act?
Game systems that generate dialogue, profile players, or respond dynamically aren’t exempt from regulation. If it affects behavior, access, or safety... it’s on the radar!
Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown.
Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.
Final video for the GGP portal rebrand ~ Figuring out file size limitations, don't mind me.

My thoughts on the Take It Down Act as someone who used to handle copyright takedown (and other) requests at Google. 🧵
As many have said, this law will be used as the ultimate weapon for the Trump Admin to censor speech from their political opponents (and more).

NY judge who advanced NYT suit against OpenAI just released his opinion.
Hoo boy it's a technical one! One takeaway: OAI won't be escaping copyright claims easily. Have publishers shown ChatGPT infringed?
"The Court finds that plaintiffs have done so."

In a world where human rights are whittled down to the bone, even escapism is under attack. Super grateful to @lincodega.bsky.social & @rascalnews.bsky.social's coverage in supporting Tabaxis, Elves, and all non-humans sitting at TTRPG tables across the realm.

Black graphic with text “You don't need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don't need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you're not obstructing traffic or access to buildings. When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.If you get stopped by the police, ask if you're free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney — no matter your citizenship or immigration status.”
If you’re protesting this weekend, know your rights.

CDT’s @kateruane.bsky.social unpacks President Trump’s new EO on Free Speech which claims to restore FX rights. In practice, his Admin’s actions tell a different story—undermining global internet freedom, investigating news outlets, & censoring viewpoints it dislikes. cdt.org/insights/whe...

Good morning, internet! The revolution starts by removing yourself out of the disinformation pool and cutting off content on supporting platforms.

We've seen an influx lately in AI copies of our client's YouTube channels. Copyright claims based on AI-ripoffs are tenuous rn with current laws. So, poisoning the content is becoming a common strategy. The strats in this video were incredibly illuminating.
