I can empathise where it comes from, but the take that β€œAI is simply a tool to enhance my work, and isn’t ever going to replace humans” really doesn’t sit well with me. πŸ˜” Why should that be true when business incentives are such that all human creativity is better optimised away?

AI-generated artwork is officially not eligible for copyright protection after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the appeal.

The court ruled that a work must have a human creator in order to qualify for copyright.

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

I'm delighted to announce I've been made a Twitch Ambassador. They have officially recognized that they used to call me The Drift King back in college. Long may we drift

In Super Mario Sunshine, whenever Mario is wet, he will drip small droplets of water. This is not cosmetic; in fact, Wet Mario is so powerful he can defeat the game's first boss entirely by dripping on it, skipping obtaining FLUDD altogether.

I'm going to slowly start piecing the team together, but it's going to be fairly bare-bones till I get to Fuschia, cause only a sane person says "lemme get the last 3 PKMN for my team at literally one location in Kanto" lol

Just shy of 5 hrs in Fire Red, and about to hit the halfway point getting through Mt. Moon

So much of this game is nostalgia feeling with also significant reminders of how creative the early PKMN games felt. Like having a full type match up checker built in, and scenery shots headed into "dungeons"

OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON
TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN
"The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic.

"Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.'

"Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people.

"Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different.

"In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.

NEW. This is an elementary girls school in the city of Hormozgan in Iran.

In the last hour, it was hit by a US/Israeli missile attack.

So far, 24 young girls are confirmed dead [SOURCE: Al Jazeera].

The US has just committed a war crime.
