Last post about this before I go and somehow manage to reply to emails with out using gAI.

This is well worth a read:

Its amazing that we found a human being with less spine than a jellyfish. Shame he's in charge of the UK

"Made by a solo dev... and 9 of his friends" is a line that lives in my head rent free when I hear the solo dev bull.

Happy Christmas to those that celebrate, and hopefully those that don't get to chill and have a nice day as well.

🚨 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)

“AI”: A Dedicated Fact-Failing Machine, or, Yet Another Reason Not to Trust It For Anything I search my name on a regular basis, not only because I am an ego monster (although I try not to pretend that I’m not) but because it’s a good way for me to find reviews, end-of-the-yea…

Today in "Don't Trust AI to Tell You Facts": How several different "AI" programs messed up the simple fact of to whom I dedicated a book, and what that means for how much you should trust "AI" to tell you the truth about things (spoiler: not much at all):

Moderately pissed off. What kind of idiot mailman signs for and takes a photo of a parcel and marks it delivered just to avoid missing the 1pm delivery window, knowing the person whos waiting for it will see that in the tracking and try to find out what the hell is going on?

It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick.

Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

ABI Bouhmaida @forgoodcode Every Windows 11 PC is now an Al PC with Copilot at the center of it all. Here's how to get rid of Copilot completely from your computer (1/3)

ABI Bouhmaida @forgoodcode 1/ Settings App > Personalization > Taskbar > Other System Tray Icons > Switch "Microsoft 365 Copilot App" Off This hides Copilot from your taskbar

@forgoodcode 3/ > Name the value "TurnOffWindowsCopilot’ > Double-click the name of the value > Set the "Value Data" to 1 > Restart your computer Congrats! Copilot is now completely gone from your computer. Hope this helps

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

I'm a variety and #D&D #twitch streamer (twitch.tv/faedrun). I need cash, as I try to get a mortgage so I can move out of the awful flat I am stuck in. I am a PHD researcher, so income is limited. I stream D&D twice a week, and variety when I can. Any support would be appreciated. Cheers.

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.

KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.

His reply was a doozy.

Faedrun - Twitch Depths of Derrar

Always forget to do this. I'm live now, playing some #D&D over on twitch for a few hours. Partys dealing with a nasty case of overgrown fungus. I'm sure they'll be fine.

As a Scot, travelling through Sighthill today, I couldn't help notcing the many saltires strung up on flag poles. And my immediate reaction was "Well thats suspect."

We aren't America, we don't need to wave flags to be patriotic. Hell, that kinda thing here just comes across as fakery, posing.

YouTube is secretly using AI to edit people's videos

• Skin is being smoothed or sharpened

• Features like ears are being altered

• YouTube confirmed there's an 'experiment' on Shorts to 'unblur' and 'improve' clarity

• There's currently no way to opt out

(via BBC)

It does, now go play it so you can actually do the collab when it arrives

I got this really pretty card with an amazing animation when you pull it.

It's been a rough time for games but one thing that's kept me going is the fact we're running a showcase for our student's games on the 7th of August at CodeBase Edinburgh!

- Totally free to attend
- 10+ locally developed games
- Come support new devs 🧡

Going live with some #DnD for a bit! Steam and Steel continues.

I had several people recommend applying to rare back when I finished my masters.

I think i made the right choice not doing that. Fuck microsoft, and that statement by Phil is horrific. "We're doing great! But you're fired" to paraphrase it. Disgusting.

Great, my Internet is running at barely a tenth of what I pay for. Love that.
