‘A million calls an hour’: Israel relying on Microsoft cloud for expansive surveillance of Palestinians Revealed: The Israeli military undertook an ambitious project to store a giant trove of Palestinians’ phone calls on Microsoft’s servers in Europe

Israel is using Microsoft Azure to store recordings of every phone call made by Palestinians in the occupied territories, then using AI to analyze the contents and select targets. Microsoft is (dubiously) claiming ignorance.

so yeah if he looks AI-generated it's because he kind of is

a lot of old youtubes got AI-upscaled a couple of years ago (I think it was something the uploaders had to opt in to idk) and music videos from the 2000s were hit particularly hard

I’m Chipzel and I have a new track out called ‘did u leave ur brain at home’ 🧠🎵🤷‍♀️

we gotta get the VFX people unionised man

Just a heads up for devs looking for free resources for games. Do some research when searching for music, Some websites that give royalty free music for gamedevs are distributing AI-generated music. There's a high risk that developers will use it without knowing this until someone points it out

3 years later... they won Call of Duty Workers Win 3-Year Battle For Microsoft Union Contract, Worker Goes On The Record For The First Time

NEW: Call of Duty workers just voted to ratify their first union contract with Microsoft, marking the end of nearly 3 years of negotiations. The two bargaining members speak to me about everything that went into it, and where they go from here. shannonliao.substack.com/p/3-years-la...

god yeah this thing is the most a videogame has ever been. get ready to lose your entire mind another 7-12 times over the next couple of weeks

it goes further: Yu Suzuki had a oh-shit-the-boss-is-here button installed on his devkits that'd corrupt the screen and make the game look visibly "unfinished", in order to keep his boss from trying to force the game out the door ASAP shmuplations.com/afterburner/

GORDON! I'M TRAPPED IN THE COMPUTER. PICK UP THAT CROWBAR AND GET ME OUT OF HERE

yeah Juniper's cool; the only other one I really watch is Acerola, who does some great technical breakdowns but has uh a very Distinctive presentation style

imo google intentionally renamed their AI thing "gemini" in order to obfuscate the existence of the protocol. there's no evidence for this but it's true

I think the streaming ecosystem was very different back in 2014 (more esports, less everything else); you're more likely to find stuff from youtubers if anything

Bsky poster giving this advice: "If you want to keep selling on Itch, I highly recommend changing your payment method to "Direct to you". This won't protect you from censorship but will keep Itch from seizing any money you have already legally earned."
